i use pea pro, its a vegan protein natural product made from peas with no additives that i know of and have it sparingly so im not overloading on protein to lose weight. great to have in just about any drink or food source going best bit is no chemicals involved with a natural product.0

I use optimum nutritions all natural whey to help meet my protein goals0
-
I use Muscletech Whey Isolate. I don't use it for weight loss though. The only reason I use it is to help me get enough protein in my day.0

Protein doesn’t built muscle in itself, you have to be lifting heavy as well, and to be eating at a surplus or at least maintenance. I wish that eating protein would mean I get more muscle… Ha.
Anyway, I use Muscletech Phase8, it’s a blend with different rates of digestion to provide a steady supply for muscle repair. I don’t know if it accomplishes that, but I like it. It’s a post-workout snack for me, not a meal.0 -
I use Dymatize, but also like muscle milk and EAS.
Honestly, you will probably see very little difference between most protein powders. Find one that you can afford and enjoy the taste.0 -

In a calorie deficit, protein helps retain lean muscle. If you are building muscle, you need to be a calorie surplus, and that always comes with some fat gain. Protein shakes can be part of a variety of diet plans with a variety of goals, but the calorie intake is going to ultimately determine whether an individual loses, gains, or maintains.0 -
Is there one that tastes decent? All the ones I've tried taste like rotted cardboard to me. Not that I have experience with that, just guessing.
(i guess a whey one - there are issues with soy, right?)0 -

I don’t think I’ve ever tried a bad one, but I’ve only tried whey and plant-based. I didn’t love Dymatize in strawberry kiwi. Otherwise, I like vanilla or chocolate ones - usually a safe bet. I have a Kaizen vanilla whey now and it’s great because it’s not too sweet (and pretty cheap). Unflavoured is always an option if taste is a concern .0 -
I use Plant Fusion, in chocolate and plain. The chocolate is great. The plain is "meh" but I've yet to find something better that is dairy and soy free to put in fruit smoothies.0

the Body Fortress - Super Advanced Whey Protein Powder - Vanilla (decent taste)
1 scoop = 170 calories / 30 grams protein.
Reasonable cheap ($18) and mixes well with milk, etc. Bakes very nicely as well.

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey. We use the french vanilla creme flavor to make flavored shakes or when I just want something basic. And the rocky road to cure sweet tooth. Really good mixed w/ almond vanilla milk or vanilla soy milk (light or regular), pb2 (peanut butter), and even add in a banana if you want. (Depending of course on the nutrients you need.) They even taste amazing just mixed with plain water. No gritty texture or residue as long as you mix with a shaker bottle or blender of course. And no horrible after taste. They haven't given me any digestion issues (which lower quality brands such as six star nutrition usually give digestion problems for most people).
There's also one by Fitmiss Delight-- Vanilla Chai which was alright flavor wise but very weak and watery when tasting mixed with even the minimal amount of water (4oz). If you try this one I would STRONGLY recommend mixing it with milk of some sort to thicken the shake or help the flavor retain.
Try some out, find what works for you.0 -

You can see the rankings based on a couple different criteria, e.g. sugar-free. After the supplement scandal following NY AG legal action, I was beginning to doubt that these contain what they purport to at all. It reassured me, anyway.0 -
Body Fortress Whey.
I like the strawberry, vanilla and chocolate peanut butter.0 -

I've liked the bag of Myprotein I bought.
I had a sample of Quest strawberry powder and really liked it. I'd buy a tub if it weren't so expensive.0 -

I actually use Thrive by Le-vel..and love it! I use it more as a vitamin supplement, but the shakes are packed with protein too. It seems to have stepped up my workout progress and I'm definitely seeing it on the scale!0

Bluebonnet Dual Action Chocolate... it's Whey and Casein, the casein digests more slowly, so you feel fuller longer. It's very tasty and no added sugar, just like 5 ingredients. one scoop (34g) = 26g Protein and about 120 cals. I mix with Unsweetened Cashew Milk and it's so effin good... sometimes I pour over my cereal.
A 2 lb tub has 30ish servings ( I weigh mine and definitely use more than "a serving" some days, less others) and it came out to around $1.35 a serving for me. I don't have a shake everyday, so this is a good value for me.0 -
Vega. I add it to my overnight oats, or just mix it up with pineapple juice for a quick intake of protein when I know I did not get enough during the day (especially after a work out)0
