i'm looking for a no or very low sugar protein powder in a better tasting chocolate (i'm not crazy about quest chocolate milkshake) and also one that tastes as close to marshmallows as possible.

anyone have any suggestions?

    I like Garden of Life coffee flavor. No sugar and 28g of protein. Though I think about drinking protein as drinking medicine: tasteless and necessary.

    I use Myprotein whey isolate, they have a lot of flavours to choose from. You have to order it online, they cant be beat for quality and price.

    I live in Australia, and order from their base in England!

    I like quest and PEScience, but not their chocolate flavors. Quest salted caramel is really good and PEScience Snickerdoodle and peanut butter cookie are both good. You can add cocoa powder to a vanilla or peanut butter shake for a chocolate flavor. Never had one that tastes like marshmallow...

    Isopure Dutch Chocolate is delicious....so delicious that I'm willing to trigger a migraine (artificial sweeteners) to drink it. Isopure Whey Isolate is my usual powder, tho.

    Optimum Nutrition has several chocolate flavors. They are all really good.

    I use Trader Joe's egg white protein powder and add Hershey's special dark chocolate cocoa powder (100% cacao) powder to unsweetened almond milk. Hershey's special dark cocoa powder has 20 calories per tablespoon and no sugar.

    I’ve been using Gold Standard by Optimum Nutrition for months and it taste great. Low in sugar and calories and high in protein. Plus plenty of flavors to choose from. I get the 5 pound bucket lol. Lasts much longer and more cost effective.

    Second My Protein. Great Flavors. The Vanilla tastes pretty close to marshmallows.

    My favorite chocolate so far is Muscle Pharm.

    Another Kaizen fan here, but I think it's more common in Canada than other countries. I like their chocolate just fine and it's great for baking.

    Awesome tip about coffee protein powder though. :open_mouth: I never thought of that!!

    Chocolate Muscle milk in my opinion tastes the best. I've tried several out there. I'm currently taking dymatize iso in chocolate. It's not bad at all and has a tad more gms or protein than muscle milk. But if the protein count was the same, I'd go for muscle milk.

    Years of ON Gold and I just tried Cellucor, Peanut Butter Marshmallow, it's amazing. Actually mixes better than the ON too, surprisingly.

    depends which country you are in, in the UK I would suggest PHD diet whey.

    but universally, and my favourite.....can never go wrong with Gold Standard

    This is mine too, and I'm in Canada.

    I don't use it daily, just as a supplement if my protein is a bit under for the day. Costco put it on sale a few times a year so I stock up then.

    Mixing it with water or cold coffee works for me, got to admit I am not a protein powder expert though.

    Cheers, h.
