I think you will find that everyone has their favourite brands. To be honest it's all pretty much the same. Whey is extracted from Milk - pure and simple. Therefore Whey is Whey. However, there are other things to consider. Some Wheys are processed to isolate the whey protein and therefore delivering a higher protein content per gram than others. When opting for these expect to pay more. Some wheys mix better than others and some taste better than others. I have tried loads of different. My favourite was Garnell for taste and viscosity, but now I buy everything from Myprotein.com. A great selection of wheys offering many flavours and different levels of isolate from 80% to 95%. I'd say look for a whey that offers 20g of protein for around 100 calories - that's just a guide.

VPX zero - lowest calories to highest protein ratio I've found so far. Also Gold Standard 100% Whey

I just get the stuff at Wal-Mart actually I think that most grocery stores have it. I forget the name though. One can pay more for others and get bells and whistles or go cheap and get just the extra protein one is looking for.

Body Fortress is what I get at walmart.

The Chocolate Peanutbutter is yummy.

What section of wal-mart can I find this in?

The way they are processed and the source of the ingredients are important, as well. I want nothing to do with a heat-processed whey or one that is made from milk full of antibiotics and growth hormones.

Hi everyone!! I am looking to purchase whey protein powder for the first time. However I need some help with selectinga brand. If anyone can please give me suggestions I would really apprciate it. Thank you!!

If you're following a balanced diet, you're probably getting plenty of protein so I wouldn't go overboard on purchasing powders. They do come in handy to add into MRPs in a time-crunch or as a part of a post-workout meal.

That said, my favs are Dymatize and Optimum Nutrition's vanilla flavors for the cost, taste and versatility.

I use Isagenix IsaLean Shakes, I've had fantastic results with them and there is no need to sweeten them or add dairy (unless you prefer to). Creamy Dutch Chocolate is my absolute fave... I usually blend my shake with a Banana, Ice & Water for Breakfast each morning. Vanilla I usually save to have as a treat with fresh Fruit and sometimes Veggies as well.

Feel free to add me and or Message me if you ever have any questions or would like more info. There are plenty of great brands out there, it's just a matter of doing your research and choosing what is best for you!

Isagenix is meant as a meal replacement.. not a protein suppliement if I'm not mistaken. For the price of it, I would rather go get a protein powder from Walmart and use that. Two scoops of Isagenix for only 18g of protein... two scoops of my Body Fortress gives me 50g.

OP, I use Body Fortress Chocolate or Muscle Maxx from Walmart. Muscle Maxx comes in vanilla and chocolate... both are amazing and only $13 a container (smaller container though). This one is great with just milk... tastes like chocolate milk. It has the right amount of sweetness and mixes without getting thick. I have the Body Fortress chocolate as well since i"m trying to use up two containers my mother gave me. I'm not the biggest fan of this one as I find it is thick and I have to add either cocoa, sweetener or a half scoop of my other powder to make this one taste better. Others love the flavour though. For $25 it's a great deal. I will be picking up the Vanilla next time my store has it on sale for $20.

Just keep in mind, a balanced diet will give you the nutrients you need. Protein powders are suppliments to be used when you don't reach your protein goals from real food. They aren't magically, won't make you put on muscle and won't make you burn more fat.

My first purchase of protein powder was: Nutribiotic Vegan 80% Rice Protein - Vanilla.

It has 60 calories per heaping Tablespoon
Zero Fat
Zero Cholesterol
10 mg Sodim
2 grams Total Carbs
12 grams Protein

Ingredients:
Enzymatically processed rice protein from whole grain, sprouted brown rice; natural vanilla flavor.

Personal opinion - it's a little chalky - however, I enjoy it with Almond milk with some frozen fruit blended. My 13 year old son enjoys it too! I haven't tried it plain in water yet - but doubt it'd taste too good (as it is not sweet itself). However, it's probably one of the healthiest protein powders out there - with ingredients you know and understand. (non-GMO) And I love that it's LOW CARB!! Some of those powders are have really high carbs!

I love!!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE! my protein powder. Zija's Prime 90 Protein. It's all natural Whey that comes in either in Butch Chocolate or Vanilla Bean enhanced with Moringa Olifeara. 20grams of protein which is the maximum amount of grams that your body can absorb in an hour. it's 150 calories for 2 scoops. I mix it with almond will and it is SO good!

Which brands are you referring to? Antibiotics? Growth hormones? Please elaborate, what you are suggesting goes way beyond the label.

Gold Standard....25G protien 5.5g bcaa...double choc flavor is the best

I always check out this website before buying any protein products - www.pro-proteinshake.com - My personal favourite is the Labrada Lean Body Hi-Protein shake because of the high protein:carb ratio.

Intrapro was the only one that didnt give me a headache. Searching for a new one now.

I use Optimum: Gold Standard 100% Whey.I use velocity vanilla and have used it for over 20 years--Solid and quality stuff

Six Star Whey Isolate in vanilla is really good, I like it better than the last brand I bought, but ON Natural Whey in vanilla was my favorite. I just saw a buy one get one at Meijer when I went shopping and grabbed 2 tubs of the Six Star, one in vanilla and one in chocolate - which I haven't opened yet. My only issue with it is that the scoops are HUGE so mixing it with anything is a little tedious, but probably would be great for baking / pancakes, which I definitely want to try soon. It has a really good, natural vanilla flavor.
