Please recommend protein powders that don't taste like a**

I am currently using

AMP - Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60. It's 260 cals per serving at 3 scoops with 60g of Protein. However, I was told I could do 1 scoop if just replenishing muscle is my goal here and at that serving it's 90 cals per serving with 20g of Protein. I got chocolate when I generally stay away from it and it's not bad! Not chalky. I used a DotFit Shaker and mix with 8 oz cold water.

I used to use Dot Fit Pre/Post Workout in Creamy Vanilla and it was very good.

Good luck!

I got the same flavor/brand (Optimum Nutrition Whey Gold Standard - French Vanilla Cream) as you did and it's not my favorite, but I add those Duncan Hines flavor packets to them to change it up, as well as adding things like PB2 (chocolate). My co-worker bought the Double Rich Chocolate and that one is better. I'm gonna try their Chocolate Mint - wish I could find somewhere that has samples of all of the Optimum Nutrition Whey Gold Standard flavors.

I used to use the Walker Diet powders, which is more of a meal replacement than true protein, is was very thick & filling, but anything but the vanilla was not pleasant.

I found one at the local Wallie World - Body Fortress Whey Isolate (vanilla) that's isn't too bad. I use it for after workout (higher protein/BCAA's) - it flavors up well and is very cost efficient ($19 @ Wallie). It comes in Vanilla, Chocolate & Strawberry - I think Cookies & Cream as well.

If you want just prue protein - I used to get Unjury. My friend who has By-pass had it and gave me samples. Not too bad, their Chocolate Splenda was good, plus it came in an "unflavored" for mixing into things and a Chicken Soup for broths & such. A little pricey compared to quantify & price, but an option.

Pure protein is really good. I love adding the vanilla to my greek yogurt and berry smoothies

Six Star whey protein by Muscletech (sold at Walmart). I love the vanilla cream flavor mixed with almond milk. There is 30g of protein per scoop for only 160 calories. A 2# container costs between $18 to $19.

YES.


That is the one.
I like the vanilla, and I'll bet it is good w/almond milk, or vanilla Silk.

I use the Kaizen Vanilla Ice Cream flavour (from Costco), with 1 cup of vanilla soy milk and 2 ice cubes. Blend it up and dear lord I love it (I'm fairly fussy usually).

On weekends I'll drink them instead of meals as well as post-workout, I could very probably live on that and my alternate, 1 cup frozen raspberries, 1 cup water, 1 scoop of the same whey, 1 ice cube.

So thirsty for one now....

I'm afraid I don't have a good suggestion for protein powder that tastes amazing. (But I've seen lots of good suggestions in other replies, so I think you're set.) I do, however, have a tip for making your vanilla protein powder more palatable so you can get through the rest of the container. I've been blending my not-so-delicious EAS Vanilla Creme protein powder (with a stick blender so it gets very well mixed) with water and about 1/4 tsp of cinnamon. It tastes just like horchata and it's waaay better than the powder alone.

Good luck! :happy:

I'll double check the brand but it's the one Walmart carries in Vanilla. I mix it with skim milk, and actually like the taste....I would imagine mixed w/fruit would be even better, but I don't bother.

Body Fortress! I love the chocolate!

I use the vanilla.....add a cup of low carb. chocolate milk,a pack of instant coffee,Torani sugar-free hazelnut flavoring syrup,some crushed ice in a blender and I am in heaven.........think that's what I'll have for lunch today!

I use Walmart Body Fortress Whey strawberry flavored. I mix it with just plain water in the morning and it tastes great...also mixes well!

sams club premier nutrition 100% whey isolate,chocolate milkshake, 30 grams of protein per serving, 160 calories. no more than 16oz of water and ice, shaken not stirred (no clumping or slimey clump residue when shaken), sip through a straw. love it, been on it since january. wife likes it to.

Body Fortress Chocolate. I mix it with peanut butter, a frozen banana and some almond milk and it is YUMMY! The frozen banana makes it like a shake almost!

Dynatize ISO-100. Low calorie, low fat, low carb. Mixes well and tastes great. I've only tried the Gormet Chocolate and Vanilla.

1) I DO like the protein I am drinking

2) Dynatize ISO-100 Whey Protein. I drink the vanilla. I have tried a bunch that were heavy and didn't like that...but I can't remember them cause they suck.

I liked this brand better because it was effective, inexpensive, and mixed well. I could make a gallon and pour it as needed. I didn't add anything to it, just water.

I don't add anything either. Just water. Never thought about making a bunch a head of time though. Hmmm...I might start doing that. lol

i've tried many different protein shakes. The best is GNC AMP- Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60. I mix mine with Lactaid milk. it tastes GREAT. no chalky taste. I've only bought the vanilla, chocolate and cookies 'n cream flavor. . . actually i bought the fruit punch flavor; but it was NASTY. GNC also has a policy that if you buy their store brand items and don't like it after trying it, you may return it to the store. the best thing about it are the nutritional facts. high protein, low fat, low sugar, low carbs. i only use one scoop at a time.
