Looking for a good protein powder to add to things like oatmeal or maybe Greek yogurt.
For anyone who eats these things....I really like the taste of power crunch bars but I hate the taste of quest bars. Idk if that gives you an idea of what I might like? Let me know any suggestions !

    Trutein is the best I ever tasted. Ironically I like the Quest protein powder but not the Quest bars, so there's that.

    Another vote for Quest and Trutein.

    Quest Salted Caramel is my current favorite. I mix it with plain greek yogurt and frozen berries for breakfast pretty much every day.

    It's also only 100 calories for 25 grams of protein. I like to get the most protein bang for my calorie buck!

    That sounds interesting. I just checked the website and I like the idea of the more fruitier flavors as opposed to always chocolate or vanilla, etc.

    I like the Chocorite protein powder for smoothies.

    The only one I can stand is the unflavored whey protein from Jarrow. It doesn't have much taste at all, just a vague milky sweetness, so it works in smoothies, pancakes, yogurt, can be blended into milk, scrambled eggs, latte. I'd rather flavor things myself, it's easy enough to throw a little vanilla and honey in there, or whatever.

    "Pure Protein" Brand Choc or Vanilla powder

    If you're looking for bars to toss in your bags etc. "Pure Protein bars" are my go to as well.

    @Jpaulie I've heard a lot of good things about the cappuccino. Have you tried any of the fruit flavors? I was looking for one to have in the afternoon at work so I ordered a pack of the Grab N' Go single serves in Fuzzy Navel. (Edited to add: It's not here yet.)

    Ordinarily I use Designer Whey, I have the unflavored and double chocolate which I like a lot. It's a pretty simple but I only really use it to supplement my macros, not for any special kind of recovery or performance enhancement.

    I like Jarrow unsweetened whey powder because it doesn't taste like anything. I'd rather taste the things I'm putting in the smoothie.

    Isopure banana cream, and the toasted coconut. Both yummy and I hate the taste of most protein powders

    pescience has the best tasting protein I've tried. Can't believe how low in calories it is based on the taste and protein content. So much better than Optimum Nutrition

    I recommend going to a supplement store and actually tasting them - they should let you sample. The differences can be minor so it's best to determine for yourself. When I bought mine, I went in for a completely different brand than I came out with. I ended up with PVL Iso Gold Chocolate. It has just a tiny bit more fat in it, and it made it feel smoother to drink.

    I did still meet my criteria of being lactose free though. Though in hind sight I'm not sure I had to worry about that. Found out later it still has casein in it LOL. Oh well at least my stomach doesn't hurt. And I don't drink enough of it to give me a skin reaction. But I digress...

    If it hasn't been mentioned yet...any of the Beverly International UMP. You can actually just add water and make pudding. It's that yummy! I add it to oatmeal for breakfast...just make the oatmeal with a little more water than usual because it thickens when the protein is added.

    Love Optimum Nutrition's Casein protein vanilla, it makes my oatmeal and shakes super thick and works well for baking. My second choice would be Quest Peanut Butter although it is a little pricier.
