Thread: Favorite protein powder mix?

My personal favorite is Pro Complex by optimum nutrition, Whey protein is a fast acting protein, while Casein is slower dissolving

Never buy GNC anything it's garbage! If you are looking for low carb iso whey is great! Other than GNC they are all pretty good it's more or less what flavors you like. Look at the labels because cheaper is not better, generally you need more scoops to get enough protein which means there is more fillers and extra crap. Over the years I've found using a vanilla flavor protein is best as you can add fruit or peanutbutter or berries to change the flavor.

I use body fortress sold at walmart. Its got 8grams of BCAAs per scoop, 26grams total protein, and some other ingredients including creatine. I dont think its a bad blend for the price. $14 for 2lbs. Ive also used twin labs whey and didnt care for it much...

I mainly use EAS 100% Whey from Sams.
5lb bag for $27.99
130 Calories
23 grams of protein
76 Servings per bag

Order my protein from TrueProtein.com. Like the fact that I can make my own blend or buy one of their pre-mixed proteins, plus I can add whatever flavor, BCAA's, etc to it.

And no, I am not affiliated with them at all, just who I use.

All American pure whey. $30 shipped for 5lbs and the cake batter flavor is delicious.

I use 100% Casein from Optimum Nutrition only because I'm able to make it into protein fluff (scrolldown about half way for the recipe).

best bang for your buck would be dymatize iso 100.....its hydrowhey and i have it in chocolate flavor..def the way to go!

As far as taste/price/mixing goes absolutely nothing can beat ON Gold standard or Dymatize elite whey..

... and what's the difference between whey and casein?

casein is slow digesting whey is fast-med digesting
if you want the most protein per scoop wit the least cals,carbs and fats get any decent quality ISO-WHEY.
NTBM has oen called Isolation

Along these lines...

I also like the "Isopure" protein. It's about 25g protein, 0-1 carbs and fat per scoop. For a basically no fat/carb powder, it mixes reasonably well and the chocolate flavor is relatively good.

They sell large tubs at GNC and online for a reasonable price.

Used to use ON 100% whey or scivation

Now I use trueprotein, they let you make your own blend from a serious selection of ingredients, and its cheap. They have a special on "recession whey" 25 lbs for $125!! Also I've never found a cheaper way to get casein than their "milk protein isolate" its 70% casein 30% whey and goes for about $8.50 a pound. Again I'm not affiliated with them at all, but go play with their custom blend page and you'll probably end up dropping a paycheck there lol.

Isolyze
HydroWhey
All Day Whey

Those are my 3 fav with number of carbs from least to most.

I enjoy Scivation Chocolate Whey. 1g fat, 1g carb, 22g protein. It's one of the only proteins that doesn't cause my stomach to turn. Taste is good too, some proteins out there taste like chalk... Sci Fit's Pro-lyn... good god... why did I buy 2 bottles.... ?

I'm all about tast and quality ...I must say bsn true mass is decent in price and tasts amazing its a real treat to drink..but that's just me

Oh yeah I alsoagree with what the other gentleman just posted about isopure tast good and mixes well and you don't need to add a ton of scoops..nothing I hate more than a thick chunkie ass shake..I espicially hate with otherf brands of cheap mass gainers that no matter how much u blend u still get that "ninja" clump that breakes in the middle of your throat and almost chokes u too death

He he... I love my magic bullet. I have had the whey with just the shaker cup, but it's much more palatable blended with ice. More shake-like and cold.

I like trueprotein's whey isolate. It's good, cheap, and quality.

I've tried all different kinds from Optimum Nutrition, TrueProtein, EAS, etc. The best whey protein isolate I've found and use on a daily basis now is Synthetek's SynthePURE! It's tasteless, so it mixes with anything and I use it a lot for cooking with. Also, it doesn't have me running to the bathroom like some others do!

Kaizen whey isolate, chocolate flavour, from Costco. 30-35 bucks a tub, sweetened with sucralose. Works well for what I use it for - a preload before my meals to keep me fuller longer.

Has to be 100% Pure New Zealand Whey Strawberry flavor. Tastes exactly like strawberry ice cream. 28g of protein per scoop, sweetened with stevia. Really high-quality stuff. There's a more in-depth review of it on the blog below my username if you're interested. (Just hit supplement reviews, I think its #3).

Also Dymatize Elite Gourmet tastes really good.

Tried all kinds of brands , for me its all about good taste and quality . I really enjoy gaspari nutrition myofuison .

taste? syntha 6
