    I really love Cellucor protein powders. They have great flavors, I've tried a few other brands but always end up returning to Cellucor!

    Everyone in here always recommends either 1) the absolute worst tasting, 2) the popular highly marketed choice, or the 3) gluten free, all natural, organic, flavorless, colorless, odorless, choice.

    Those people all have zero clue about protein powder. Sad to say.
    Taste is an individual thing, you can't dictate what people like.

    I'm not. I'm just confirming that these choices are awful compared to actual good-tasting protein powder like PES Select, Controlled Labs Pronom, or XF Ultra Peptide 2.0.

    It's kind of like someone asking for beer that actually tastes good because everything they are trying tastes like piss... and then seeing pages of people recommending Corona and Bud Light.

    Cellucor Cinnamon Swirl and Molten Chocolate are by far the best I've ever had.

    Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard whey - Double Rich Chocolate. I think it's the highest rated out of all of the flavors for good reason! Good with water, good with milk!

    Muscle Pharm Combat Powder is awesome. By the way; when can mix the vanilla in plain I prefer Fage Total 0 greek yogurt and add a little bit of frozen fruit and perfect. Most other powders turn it to paste...

    I use BSN Syntha 6 Chocolate Milkshake flavor. I also like Optimum Nutrition, but I switched to BSN because it lists the potassium content and the potassium to sodium ratio is favorable.

    Maximuscle Promax Lean in Vanilla.

    I find that it tastes a hell of a lot better if you put it in milk (if you can afford the calories).

    I use it essentially as flavouring for fruit smoothies too.

    The only powder I'll use is Genepro peptide protein. Its 30g for one tablespoon of power. You can add it to hot liquids as well as cold beverages. I add mine to my morning yogurt. Stir well. The only taste I can detect is a SLIGHT salty taste.
    I'm done waste

    If you don't like those protein powders you've already tried... maybe you just dont like protein powder itself? It's a possibility!

    Which is why I suggested samples.

    Also, you recommended Pronom, which looking around the internet doesn't even seem to be made/sold anymore...

    Of course it is still made. They even updated the product.

    Huh, they showed it as out of stock, and the Controlled Labs site doesn't list it as an available supplement.

    I stand by everyone should not waste money, try samples of what they want to buy first, and buy what you enjoy.

    Looks like they renamed it "Promore" and significantly cut the serving size. Pronom (now Promore) was always a good tasting protein powder, but it seems that Controlled Labs is backing out of the protein industry as of December 2014. They were losing money on the 4 lb. tubs since supplement companies rarely make a profit on protein powder.

    I've been using Kaizen's 100% pure whey isolate for a few years now. One serving has 35g of protein, 2g of carbs, and 0.5g of fat for a total of 150 cal. Best part is it tastes great, mixes easily.

    Taste is individual, some may like it, others not so much.

    Projym is my fav and i think I've had all of the common ones. The one downside is that it is pricey(all of the JYM products are) but it's great quality.
