    MTS - Cookies n' Cream is by far the best protein powder I've had.

    I've been using Myprotein Impact Whey - Chocolate Mint for a bit now and it's awesome and the price is awesome as well!

    No I haven't tried those but they sound really good...I am big on muffins because I can store them in the freezer and grab and go for work. The last ones I tried were pumpkin and they are sort of a combination between pumpkin pie and a muffin which I think is awesome!

    I cant find it in MFP recipes so I must not have saved it as a recipe...
    I took this recipe below and modified it: Used egg white, a little less zucchini, quest baking mix instead of almond meal and plenty of seasonings. I did use their baking technique of flipping it over so that both sides were crisp before I topped it. I used non-stick foil over my pizza pan to make it easy to flip.

    Mmmm, pumpkin pie muffins sound awesome! Do you have a recipe for those? And, the zucchini crust looks great. Thanks for sharing!

    I used this recipe but used PB2 instead of buckwheat flour and I think I used regular ole brown sugar instead of coconut sugar (cause I didn't have any) and made them as muffins. They were delicious and creamy and not too bad for ya!

    I bought a new protein yesterday from GNC
    It's called iso-100 hydrolyzed whey protein it's isolated and lactose free I bought the vanilla flavor and this is by far the most delicious protein supplement I ever tried!
    But I never drink the protein alone I always mix it with strawberry and banana, bribery and milk!

    The Gold Standard chocolate mint flavored protein is mighty good. I've got a tub of the mocha flavor sitting in my kitchen waiting to be opened too. I haven't tried the mocha flavor yet, but I have very high hopes.

    Dymatize Iso-100 gourmet chocolate is my favorite tasting protein. My shakes have so much peanut butter in them though that the flavor doesn't matter all that much...lol.
    I hear good things about this brand. I love Pb in my shakes but its a *kitten* to clean (excuse my language)


    Have you ever tried PB2 powdered peanut butter? It's amazing and no mess lol you can find it at Walmart, Amazon and I saw it at GNC the other day too. It taste great in my shakeology and I would imagine in anything else.

    I like the quest powder too but it's expensive.
    Same here ived consumed 5 tubs of the stuff and I can't justify the price anymore, so now I'm using cellucor which is about 20 dollars cheaper.

    Fat free cottage cheese with pineapple and chicken. Always fills me up. Grape nuts are good too for breakfast.

    MusclePharm is currently being sued for misrepresenting the amount of protein in their powder.

    Wow! That's shocking! I wonder how we can know which ones are truly providing the protein they claim they are?

    Short of lab analysis, you have to find a manufacturer that claims not to do it, and hope that it’s true. There’s a section on protein spiking in the product description for Pro JYM. Pro JYM claims not to do it. So does Dymatize. I don’t know about other brands.

    If a protein powder lists extra amino acids in the ingredients, I’d avoid it.

    Ive always been a Optimum Nutrition guy, low cost, low carb, tons of servings. I recently ran out and decided to try something new for a change. Employee referred me to Muscle Pharm combat birthday cake flavor. I mixed one scoop, cup of milk, loads of ice. The result is amazing. Best tasting hands down and fits nicely into my macros. I think its better than Bsn Syntha 6, I would recommend to anyone dieting that has a sweet tooth, tasted better than a milkshake from restaurants.

    My question is, whats your favorite protein when it comes to taste? (Pricing not a factor)

    Mutant Pro 100 series is hands down the best tasting line of proteins!

    For taste, it would be Smores ProJym without a second thought, and I have tried many different kinds. For the health benefit and purity relative to taste, however, I would say Dymatize Iso-100. The Cinnamon Bun flavor is great in the morning. Third, would be Snickerdoodle flavored Premium Select from Physique Enhancing Sciences (PES).

    To be specific, it's the Arnold Series Iron Mass product that's the subject of the lawsuit, not Combat Powder.

    Here's a pretty good source that measures products according to their actual protein content > LabDoor.

    I prefer savory over sweet so all the powders I've tried I have to choke down. I wish I could just eat a big fat rare ribeye everyday instead.
