Can anyone recommend a good whey protein isolate? I'm new to protein powders and have no idea where to start. Many thanks:)

    My favorites are Dymatize Iso 100 which is isolate, for post-workout. They have a lot of good flavors. If you care about the Stevia versions you can get a few flavors of those at Costco. I found those ones a bit bland. And I have Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard for protein shakes at other times. It tends to be cheaper than Dymatize, and is good value imo.

    I just buy the store brand from Kroger, Simple Truth. I buy vanilla. It's really inexpensive and versatile and I go through a can a month.

    Ive tried several brands over the years and always find myself going back to Gaspari Nutrition. If you follow their social media, they often do 30% off deals where I stock up.

    Flavors are bomb, dissolves easily, and have both whey and egg white

    Really inexpensive? This? About $15 per pound? I consider $12+ per pound to be expensive. Last week I got a deal via slickdeals for 10 pounds of Dymatize Iso 100 vanilla for $73.

    That's the plant based one, and yeah it's spendy although I do buy it. I don't use it nearly as often as the whey. The whey is $8.50 for 13 ounces when I use the coupon they send me once a month.

    Regardless, I can just walk in and buy it and I like it.

    Not sure where you are but I use PhD Diet Whey. It's a bit pricey but it's easy for me to obtain and I like it.

    Myprotein clear whey isolate. It's like juice. I have Wild Cherry flavor. There is also Lemonade, Strawberry, and Tropical Dragonfruit. I get it on Amazon. I like it because it's only 80 calories, and it's not heavy like regular protein powders. I get sick of milky protein drinks very quickly.

    I’ve tried kaizen and LeanFit. I prefer LeanFit over kaizen. I buy it at Costco, when it is on sale.

    I had to buy the egg white one when my dr stuck me on low FODMAP for a month because whey was forbidden and a lot of the other non-whey ones had forbidden ingredients hiding in there. It was pretty expensive for me but I'm in Canada.

    That being said, my favourite protein is a Canadian product DynaWhey. Dissolves so easily I can just stir it into water. Comes in a nice compact bag rather than a huge plastic tub that takes up half the cupboard.
