whey protein

MaterMama

I have chocolate & vanilla. I want different flavors.

Can anyone recommend a good brand that is low sugar, high protein. Not sure if they are all the same or not. And a decent price. Oh, and that has some flavor choices besides chocolate & vanilla.

also, is there a certain brand that is best?

Thanks.

I like nst. You can get 5 pounds of it for 45 bucks at ballys. That's way cheaper than I see anything at gnc. Really like cookies and cream as well

I've found other flavors like Fruit Punch, Orange Creamcicle... just go to one of those nutrition shops and they have 'em.

Oh, I do really like the Jay Robb Orange Creamcicle flavor. No sugar - stevia sweetened. So yummy!

I use the Optimum Nutrition gold standard whey. They have a ton of flavors and the four that I have tried so far have been good.

I'm going to give a bump because I'm curious too.

I've been using DotFit's vanilla whey that I bought at the gym. I think it's pretty tasty in milk (it tastes meh in plain water), but my friend says she can barely choke it down. It's pretty expensive, so I'm looking for a backup plan for when I run out.

I've heard of cookies and cream that sounds tasty, but not sure on brand or what brand is the best.

My favorite is plain vanilla and adding mixins - banana, berries, etc. If you don't like it plain, try mixing it up with some healthy additives.

Interesting. I have always interpreted that rule (and similar rules for other forums) to mean no advertising/self-promotion that would result in gain for me or my family & friends. In other words, I shouldn't promote the book I wrote or my cousin's auto repair shop. But linking to a specific product that I enjoy is out of bounds? Providing a link to Amazon so that someone knows the exact HRM watch I bought isn't OK? Because I've done that. Someone was asking about HRMs and I linked to the one I ordered. I did some research and found Amazon had the best price. I was posting the link to be helpful. I would see no gain from someone ordering the watch from Amazon.

Steven you removed a link I posted to bodybuilding.com's website that shows the OP the kinds of Optimum Nutrition proteins they can get. It shows nutritional information as well as the kinds of flavors. I do not work for bodybuilding.com, and it wasn't for my benefit at all. Not really sure why you removed it man.

I have tried the Bananas and Cream (i think) EAS Whey and it made my tummy hurt....or maybe that was soy...hmmm...

I stick with chocolate and vanilla cause I normally add fruit and yogurt and make a smoothie with it.

Steven

Hang tight, folks. I'm checking with Mike for clarification. Back in a moment.

Steven

My bad, everybody, and thanks for calling me on it. Got some clarification from Mike. My apologies for jumping the gun.

Since the link is not intended for PERSONAL profit (though bodybuilding.com might make some $$$) I'm re-posting joejccva71's helpful link:

Sorry for the confusion, thanks for calling me out!

Thanks Steven. Really appreciate the clarification. That's a relief that we can continue pasting links for informational purposes.

Thanks for the clarification Steven.

It's just that the present wording of the forum rules is a bit vague on the subject. It doesn't specifically say that the monetary gain must be a monetary gain to the person posting the link.
