So I seem to find myself coming up short on my protein macros on occasion. I wanted to get a tub of protein powder to have on standby for those days when I need to fill the gap. Was trying to sort through bodybuilding.com but it's a minefield of supplements.

What's your favorite brand and flavor of protein powder?

    Optimum or cellucor are the two I use. Chocolate flavor is good and never gets old

    Anything from PEScience... and I've tried a LOT of different brands. Their Snickerdoodle and Cookies and Cream are so bomb.

    I dislike most protein powders, but the Xtreme Formulations Ultra Peptide series are actually quite tasty, particularly Cinnamon Roll flavor IMO.

    Granted, there's a definite tradeoff with them as the macros are not nearly as good as you can get elsewhere, only about 1g of protein per 10 calories, meaning only about 40% of the calories are from protein.

    Trutein cinnabon is delicious :) No artificial sweetener aftertaste.

    BSN Syntha 6 is the tastiest!
    I can't have it bc of household food allergies, but my mom loves it.

    I use Muscle Milk Light and it is OK. Doesn't taste bad and it is under standards that guarantee that no "enhancers" are added to the supplement. (plus allergen free)

    I bought 7 samples of Trutein and was sadly disappointed. It was very thin, tastes were way too sweet (especially the mint chocolate, lemon meringue, chocolate PB) and/or just plain "off". After all the reviews I was so excited to try them:( I am a big fan of EAS Advantage Complete, 150 cal, 25g protein. Mixes up extremely thick (if you make it the night before you will need to add liquid in the morning to get it to come out of the blender bottle...lol). I have tried lots of them and go back to it every time! The cost is very reasonable too! Their ready to drink shakes are pretty good too, are lower calorie, lower protein, and are a little thin, but cold they are tasty, even the strawberry and vanilla which I have a hard time stomaching usually since most brands are chemical tasting. They do make another powder one that is less calories (110) and 15g protein, but it is pretty thin.

    I find their flavours hit and miss as to whether I like them. Sweet doesn't bother me though. We tried pretty much all of the regular flavours (no seasonal) and the ones we liked were the cinnabon, the vanilla, and the banana.
