Protein powder!!

cathipa · January 2014

BSN lean dessert protein whipped vanilla cream. Amazing flavor. Does not have a "protein" taste at all. Prior to finding this stuff I wouldn't touch some of the others due to the smell. Highly recommend and not too expensive.

Check out a protein called "About Time." 100% whey protein isolates... and is reasonably priced.

100 kcal
0g Fat
<1g Carbs
25g Protein

Also, figure that every gram of protein is 4kcal... so 100% of the calories come straight from protein.

I either like the Dymatize Elite XT Choc Fudge powder with lactose free milk,Matcha Green Tea, and Seedless Cherries. Or else I like the Trutein Cinnabun one with Coffee instead of milk and Matcha Green Tea powder. That one tastes like a Cinnabon Shake if you mix it with coffee.

I love the Pea Protein. It is not well know but one of the most efficient protein sources out there. Three main reason I recommend are
1. Natural, vegan protein source.
2. Easier for the body to utilize. You utilize a higher % of the protein in the powder
3.Better to digest

Here is a link that gives a good breakdown on it. I have not use many of the brands as "Prescribed Choice" has been great for me.

I have optimum nutrition in milk chocolate and I like it! I've tried other brands and they made me gag (designer whey, body fortress)

That's the one I like the best, too, extreme milk chocolate. Look online, because some places charge $99 for a 5 lb container, and some charge $50ish. I really loved Muscle Milk light chocolate peanut butter, I can't remember why I stopped buying it. Price maybe.

5lb tub of ON Gold Standard is on sale at GNC for $56.99... few more bucks off with a Gold Card.

I just got it for $53.99 on soap.com with free shipping! Sounds like a weird place to buy protein powder, I know. I don't have a GNC Gold Card.

Not a bad deal! Figure, depending on the flavor you typically get 70+ servings... so that is way less than $1 a scoop for a good quality whey.

I noticed the serving size in grams is a little more for the extreme milk chocolate than the rich chocolate. Those are the only two I've tried so far.

International Protein WPI or Bulk Nutrients WPI.

I'm not entirely sure why... the french vanilla is the best bang for your buck though at 77 servings!

I haven't found a vanilla I like, so I shy away from that flavor. Especially paying that much for it. Good thing there's always pudding mix to make it taste better! :bigsmile:

Vanilla is pretty hit/miss. Fortunately, it mixes with just about everything!

Optimum Nutrition is the best! I have the double chocolate - pretty tasty, the Cookies & Cream - love it!, and the Vanilla Ice Cream - seriously when mixed w/a little skim milk it tastes just like ice cream! Has a great carb to protein ratio as well.

This is what I use if I'm having a shake. I always try to get my protein from eating high protein foods. If I'm low for the day that's when I use the shake.
