I've never been a big fan of protein shakes/protein powder. Something about the texture and fake tasting flavors has kept me away. But I've been seeing a lot of shake recipes that I'd like to try. So I want your opinion. What are your favorite brands and flavors of protein powder?

I hear great things about Optimum Nutrition but right now I'm using Pure Protein Vanilla Creme flavor and I like it.
Right now my problem is price, I use it very regularly now and my "monthly" supply isn't gonna be lasting no month.0 -
I absolutely love Trutein cinnabun flavor. I think they're on hiatus right now due to a change in the company name, but last time I checked, bodybuilding.com still had it in stock.
I drink it mixed with just water, and I think it tastes just like a cinnabun.0 -
Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard Whey
Right now is leading protein powder,
How does one rate a protein powder ?
- Mix-ability
- Flavor
- Nutritional Profile
As for flavors hands down the best is "extreme milk chocolate " and going in a close second is mocha
Most supplements are BS but if you are going to spend money DONT SKIM ON WHEY PROTEIN0 -
ON is good.
best tasting one I've ever had is muscletech phase 8 chocolate0 -
I have had many. The new ones are getting better and better. I like most of em that are chocolate. By far the best tasting is ViSalus. It tastes like a vanilla cake. It is amazing. I mix it with other proteins to make them taste better. I am a promoter for ViSalus, but still it has my vote even if I didn't sell it.0

Best to me means cheapest, so I use Body Fortress's vanilla.
In terms of flavor/profiles, though, ON is really solid and I'd def. recommend it! (just none of the fruity flavors, ugh.)0 -
Are you in the UK? I like Puro Nutrition.0

Taste is so subjective. Best bet is to reach out to the manufacturers and see if they will send you samples and go from there. Supplementsource always throws in a few samples of various flavors so, I'm sure other places do.0

Somebody please tell me. I drinks Special K, & Whey protein.0

I have always been a huge fan of Dymatize Nutrition - Iso 100.
I mix 1 scope of the gourmet chocolate with about half the water it says to use and it tastes amazing. almost too good.
the old formula had 0g fat and 0 or maybe 1g carb per serving. the new formula looks like they've upped to 1g fat and 2g carbs but also increased to 25g protein.
esupplements.com has it pretty cheap too, i think 24 bucks for the standard 1.5 lbs, and free shipping if you're USA0 -
Get the one with the most synonyms for "extreme" on the package.0
-
I love my Shakeology, strawberry is the best.0
-
Optimum Nutrition is great.
Musclepharm products are solid.
BSN shakes are nice.
If you're going to be doing a lot of mixing, I'd pick up a vanilla type flavor.0 -
I use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey in Double Chocolate Rich. It's delicious and dissolves well.0
-
I'm a Dymatize ISO 100 girl myself. I like Chocolate for a quick shake (I make it with Almond milk, but in a pinch I'll use skim milk) and I like using vanilla just plain OR I'll make a smoothie with fruit and ice. Yummy!!!0

i'm a soy protein fan - vegetarian, but more so because i HATE the taste of casein and whey.
unflavored is my go-to; mixes easily and i can have ANY flavor shake i feel like.
GNC - Jarrow - TwinLabs all rock.
Good luck!0 -

Biox - Xtreme Power Whey Isolate is my choice. I do not suggest the banana-strawberry. That was nasty. The chocolate is legit though. Tastes like chocolate milk.0

Vegan's will love Vega One Tropic Tango Protein shake. It's yummy, low in carbs, no added crap & sugars, low calorie, and pretty decent protein grams. I hate whey protein.0
