Best Protein Powder?

I like myoplex, its a good brand and it taste good, im drinking the strawberry cream...

I've used allot of Protein powders over the past 25 years and the best I've ever had is Metagenics Bio Pure. You can get it on Amazon as it's not available at many places. It's an extremely clean protein from organic sheep and it is not treated with heat or chemicals so it maintains all the great health benfeits. Also there are no added sugar or chemicals. Doesn't taste like anything as it's not sweetened in anyway but I drink it with water and it mixes easily and tastes bland/fine.

I use Bodytech Pro 24 for my AM drink....and Optimum Nutrition for my post work out drink..I always look for Protein Drinks with the lowest amount of calorie/protein ratio...I deally if you can get under 100 calories and have 20+ grams of protein you are doing good...For women I suggest Designer Proten products because it has the less additives and the arginine and other byproducts design for men. I have a son who doesn't eat a lot..and even his pediatrition recommended Designer Protein because of how safe it is for kids and women.

I love the Optiumum Nutrition products :-)
My favorite one is the "Fruit Punch" I'd OD on it

I second this, Optimum Nutritions stuff is on point

Arbonne's Vegan Protein Powder -- by far the best! Protein comes from brown rice, yellow pea and cranberries. There are a lot of products already logged into the system if you do a search. I'm really sensitive to products after over 30 years of chemical exposure through photoprocessing/graphic arts. My body just doesn't do well on a lot of stuff on the market. Two shakes a day work fabulous for me -- I like to mix and match several healthy choices in with my shakes -- little almond butter, organic baby spinach, frozen organic strawberries or blueberries, a tbs of ground flax, organic almond milk -- it creates a meal, leaves me feeling full and satisfied and tastes good (a lot of protein powders contain whey and/or soy which do not work with my body). LOVE Arbonne's Chocolate and Vanilla Protein Powders!!!

Shakeology !!! Google it. I'm on my second week and I love LOVE it!

Tastes GREAT~

i like smoothie king gladiator

I like NOW foods Tru-Food vegan. There's no soy, it also has probiotics, a vitamin and mineral complex, and other good stuff, and it's relatively cheap for what you get out of it. It's supposed to be a Vega knock-off, so the nutrition is near identical to Vega's old whole food health optimizer. The berry flavor is great, I mix it with 100% juice and skim milk, or silk fruit and protein (but you said you want to avoid soy, so it's good with straight up juice.)

Allmax Isoflex. 110 calories with 27g of protein. I drink it with water, it's tastes ok, nothing special (most protein drinks are like that).

There are hundreds of varieties. Generally you get what you pay for. Unless buying on sale or in Bulk, if the price looks too good to be true it's generally because the product isn't good.

Each protein powder is different. It has a different mix. Buy good quality and buy a protein powder that will supplement/add to you diet.

I agree with the above poster. I just "got" that I need to add protein powder to my regimen to get the level I need. After research on taste and mouth feel (I wanted to be sure all the powder dissolved well) I settled on Whole Food 365 Whey Protein Vanilla Powder. I blend it with waters/ice, berries, banana, vanilla extract. Alone it has 80 cals, 16g protein, 2g carb.

Good luck in finding a product you like. Welcome to the converted!

Has anyone tried Scitec ZERO carb Isobest protein powder ????????


If you have PLEASE get in touch..... Have some questions before I buy :-)

I use Six Star Protein Powder. I make my own smoothies with fruit or whatever I have on hand. If you've got the money to spend on Body by Vi or Shakeology or all the hundreds others that's great. I've tasted Body by Vi and they are good. Haven't tried others but I'd rather put my money into a good protein powder and make my own. With Six Star I can make a smoothie and not be hungry till noon and for me that's a huge improvement over oatmeal or cereal even eggs in the morning - I just get hungry.

I'm not knocking anyone else's program but know that I don't have a huge amount of money to spend so I'm doing what works for me!

Dr. Corey Schuler answered:

When using a protein shake of any kind, determine which protein is best for you. Shakeology is a whey-based protein. Protein is not a one-size-fits-all macronutrient. Some people have sensitivities to whey or casein (proteins in dairy), while other cannot digest egg well. Also, many protein powders contain other sweeteners than can be problematic. Even stevia can improperly stimulate the immune system of some people. So when you hear about a protein or protein powder that is "the best", just be aware that it may not be the best for you.

I'm on Promasil. It works well for me. However if you have food allergies / sensitivities check the label since its a blend of multiple sources of protein. (whey, goat milk, milk, egg, etc) - 90 Cal 20g Protien per scoop.

I add it to my oatmeal in the morning, and as an after-workout drink.

Optimum Nutrition! Yum! They have awesome flavors and easy to mix w/ water/milk.

I LOVE Dymatize brand ELITE. this is whey protein- fast acting.1 scoop is 115 calories and 20 grams of protein. mixes great in water. i buy the vanilla so i can add it to my oatmeal in the morning too. i use it as recovery after exercise and add an Emergen-C packet (any flavor) to make it like a smoothie.

before bed i take Elite Fusion 7. this is more complex...slower digesting and feeds my muscles all night long! if something doesn't taste good i won't eat it no matter how good it is for you! I have recommended this to other clients who love it.

Find something you love so you can stick with it
