Noticed so many people commit to a 5lb tub of something they have never had, then suffer through it every morning!
SO thought this might be interesting and slightly useful. What is the worst protein powders you have ever had?
Mine:
Isopure - Mango Peach - Frothy and just nasty. Had to drinking it as fast as possible and have the tub for a year
Optimum Nutrition - Blueberry Casein - Turned solid when mixed and was gross

Something called Aria protein powder that I bought at the grocery store. There was just no way to get it mixed in completely with the liquid, even with an immersion blender. I finally threw it out.0

Some custom-order milk protein isolate from trueprotein.com It was like drinking flavorless sand-water.0

ON caramel toffe fudge.... was ok to begin with but leaves a funky after taste and tastes odd with fruit so I resorted to mixing with just enough water to make it flow and would chug it.
Market Pantry Vanilla - lumpy no matter how it is mixed and tastes cheap.0 -
Nutribiotic chocolate rice protein.
Feels like sand, tastes like dirt.0 -
Well, I'm new to trying protein shakes and have only had 2 brands so far
1) Meijer (local store) brand: Was pretty good but it was surprisingly not that cheap. Also, it wouldnt mix well in water/milk and leave big lumps of powder
2) Body fortress: I love this one so far and it was fairly cheap ($16 for a 2 lb container). Its freaking delicious and mix's well0 -

I tried this stuff too. All the flavors looked so delicious. Was so sad that they were disgusting :C0 -
I've tried lots of nasty protein powder. Many of the store bought ones have an after taste that lingers forever. I'm in love with the Vi-Shape mix from Visalus. Best I've ever had.0

Xtreme Formulations Lemon Cream Pie. Never disappoints :]0 -
Muscletech Vanilla. It seriously has a metallic taste.0

I found out later that the current owner of XF used to do flavoring for true protein, but they went downhill when he left.0 -
I don't think I've had any that were exceptionally bad except some Twin Labs stuff I got for like 14 dollars (2 pounds).
I've got Elite Gourmet Choc Peanut Butter right now and it's great if you mix it up in a shaker cup with milk.0 -
The only one I like is Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Chocolate Mint...drinking it as we speak...YUM!0

I hate TJs Hemp protein in milk or a smoothie form, it is gritty, but it is excellent in oatmeal so I survived.
The longer I have Nutiva HempShake the less I like it. :-( It has a weird after taste and doesn't work well in smoothies.0 -

Love that one! Tastes like thin mints Probably my favorite powder :]0 -
Made the mistake of buying Mus-l blast choc flavour, tastes foul, and has naff-all protein in it!!! Too many cals too. May be intended for bulking, not for just protein.
I'm using it up hidden in choc chip protein cookies tho, which works fine!!!0 -
I'm taking notes. I just started protein shakes and have only tried two. Not a fan of either, but no real bases to go off of.
Muscle Milk Chocolate and EAS Chocolate, both have an aftertaste I can handle, but not sure for how long.0 -
All nitrotech products.0

Jay Robb's Vanilla Whey Protein made me gag.. I gave it away because I couldn't choke it down. Awful.
I only use Optimum Nutrition protein powders now.. They're definitely the best, in my opinion.0 -
Naturade Veg protein. its a soy based protein it does not mix well with anything and it has a chalky taste.0
