    If you have a Complete Nutrition near you, I think they all offer a sampling bar to try anything they sell.

    Have you tried PEScience? Super tasty protein.

    I think I may have tried their chocolate or something and I just thought it was meh. It's been so long though, I honestly don't really remember.

    One of the fitness couples I follow on IG are PEScience athletes. The have discount codes, so maybe I should give something new a try.

    Any chance that is Jeff Nippard and Stephanie Buttermore?

    Nope. Aubrie and Brad Bromlow. They're also on MFP.

    Cool. I don't know them. But the nice thing about PEScience is that you can get a bunch of samples.

    I LOVE syntha6 vanilla ice cream flavor. I haven't branched out into flavors other than vanilla yet, but love it.

    When I don't drink it straight with milk, I put it in a blender with milk and a frozen banana and pumpkin puree with some cinnamon- boom, pumpkin spice milkshake for breakfast for ~300ish calories.

    @CupcakeCrusoe try their cookies 'n' cream flavor. It's delicious!

    That's where I buy my BCAA's! I LOVE their Uptake!

    I have sampled a few different protein powders from there and I didn't like any of them.

    You do know there really isn't a benefit to BCAAs right? It's essentially a water enhancer.

    Personally, hate it. I have never found one that tastes good. I get around 60-70g protein a day from food alone

    Ditto. I liked them when I started losing and was severely restricting myself, but now I find that they all have a bad aftertaste, and they are not filling at all.

    I have a tub of Isopure Apple Pie and Strawberry & Cream flavor, both good.
    Also tried a sample of bodytech cinnamon cereal, don't know the nutrition behind the sample but very tasty.

    I'm trying to hit 150, so the powder helps. I like the stuff Costco sells. Kaizen chocolate. Adding it to 1% milk gets me 50g before I even move for the day.
