Who has the best...
-Basics-
Chocolate (high fat) = Muscle Milk (Cytosport)
Chocolate (low fat) = 100% Whey Fuel (Twinlab)
Strawberry = Designer Whey (Next Proteins)
Vanilla = Whey (Jay Robb)
-Specialty-
Cappucino/Mocha = Pure Whey (Champ. Nutrition)
Raspberry = XP (JS Nitro)
Fruity (noncreamy) = Nectar (Syntrax)
All other flavors = Whey Gourmet (PVL)

ON 100% strawberry is good. Which is what I had hoped since I have 80 servings of the stuff to plow through.

dymatize elite whey has many good flavours
my personal favourite is butter cream toffee
All The Whey Chocolate mint.#1 in my book.

Definitely not Muscle Milk Strawberry Banana, tastes like pepto bismol and now im stuck with 2lbs of it :( ON Whey 100% Double Chocolate doesnt taste bad, just smells bad. Best tasting so far, Muscle Milk Chocolate.

I've tried almost all the Muscle Milk flavors and like Strawberry the best. Tried ON Vanilla ICe Cream...it's not bad.
I just tried BSN Syntha Vanilla Ice Cream....OMG it is the shiznit! Gonna try the Chocolate and Strawberry next. The only mild drawback is the slight increase in calories.
If you want something sweet go with the Syntha...mixes well too!

people love to hate GNC, some for no reasons other than its the cool thing to do......
but gnc banana creme is pretty good tasting
edit: ON vanilla ice cream is pretty horrible, double chocolate is good though

I actually like ON Vanilla Ice Cream, if you mix it with milk it tastes really good.
ON Strawberry and Cookies and Cream are my favorites though.
GNC Grand Slam 50 protein shakes in the can are not the greatest tasting, but they are bearable.

I've had almost every flavor of Muscle Milk and I have yet to really dislike one yet. I <3 MM cookies n creme. I just recently bought orange creme and actually liked it a lot...i was really suprised. I will admit their strawberry banana isn't that great--I still went through it pretty fast though.
ON 100% Vanilla sucked ass to me. I can't stand it and I still have like 8lbs left - damnit! Double Choc was good though.
Prolab N-large II - strawberry. Decent but something is missing. Tastes a little like cardboard with a full serving so i only use 1/2 serving. Not as good as MM strawberry but still good for what it is.

I also think that syntrax nectar is by far the best tasting protien EVER!!! I've had cappuccino and lemonade and both are great with milk or water you could even eat the protien powder by it self and it tastes good

Has anyone tried Quattro by Magnum Nutraceuticals? The chocolate Love is pretty tasty. 30 grams of protein per scoop 1.5 carbs. they say they have 4 different kinds of protein in it so it all breaks down at different time intervals. Marketing? Bought a tub taste is excellent. Kinda of pricey tho.

Ive been buying supplements since the original Hot Stuff and when MetRx came in 2 different size tubs because they couldnt figure out how to combine them. So ive probably tried everything out there at some point.
Going just on taste and not taking into account the quality of the protein..the best ive tried recently is PVL. The chocolate mint, peanut butter and the cookies&cream are just outstanding.
I dont get the hype about ON, i find theirs tastes average. I tried Ergophrams Mango and it was horrible, didnt mix well at all and taste was poor, although i do like their Muscle Mass MRP. I also like Muscle Milk but its a bit high in fat for my diet.
I just ordered a small tub from All The Whey to try out and ill probably try a few more that were recommended in this thread.

Best flavors I've ever tasted were Muscle Milks Banana Creme and Mocha Joe (even though I hate coffee).
I currently use ON 100% Whey Chocolate Mint and it tastes pretty good in water so far. I like the fact that it mixes well, but that's besides the point.

ON Whey's Cookies 'N Creme tasted great (although smelled weird). The Double Dutch Chocolate smells like Nequik and tastes awesome too. Another protein I like was Myoplex's Strawberry. I didnt have as much in the sense of gains on Myo as on the ON but it tasted great. I have had a shake of Syntrax (sp?) Nectar and HATED it. I really couldnt even tell wat flavor it was suposed to be, it might have been cappucino, it tasted like ****ty coffee if that helps.

... is MuscleMilk by CytoSport. I used to use Optimum 100% Whey Protein but that stuff is just okay. After a few weeks of that, you don't feel like drinking any more. MuscleMilk, on the other hand, has just as much protein and lots of calories. Maybe the load of calories will drive some people away from this product, but it's great for me since I do a good deal of cardio work every day. I haven't tried any other flavor besides chocolate, which, when mixed with milk and a little bit of ice cream, tastes just like a chocolate shake.

What is the absolute BEST tasting protein that you have ever tried? We are NOT talking about the best working protein, the best protein blend, or the WORST tasting protein. Just reply and let us know what protein is your favorite tasting, describe the taste, and tell us what flavors are the best.
Thanks for helping many others!
I am a bit confused.......I know taste is an importance to some people, but wouldn't the quality over the taste be the most importance in choosing a protein powder? Otherwise, wouldn't a milkshake win out over all of it?

probably the oldddddd Weider "Mega Mass" or one of the old ones by "Cybergenics" ...the chocolate....they were just like a milkshake...of course with 35-45ish grams of sugar they SHOULD have been tasty....this would have been around 1994 I think

I'd have to agree with this. Too bad its soooo damned expensive. Still one of the best proteins out there... assuming you've got the cash to burn
If not, ON 100% Gold is the best bang for your buck. Mix it with skim milk; never with water. And stay away from the Vanilla. It's not so hot
Tomos
06-22-2006, 01:27 PM
If you have to mix them with milk to taste good they don't count. lol
A few I have liked that are good with milk or water, Trueprotien strawberry flavor packet, Syntrax Lemon tea / water only, Syntrax Cappuccino / water or coffee mix and BSN syntha 6 strawberry.

I REALLY miss the old Twin Labs Andro Nitrate Fuel Chocolate. I thought maybe it was the Andro that was making me love it so much, but the last container I could get was Strawberry and it tasted like ****.
ON Pro Complex & ABB RTD's aren't bad.....really miss the old stuff though.

AdvoCare's Protein Plus Bar
It taste really good. It is a Chocolate Honey Peanut butter bar, but taste to good to be healthy. It is only 230 calories per bar and the key ingredients in this bar is:
Biotin= A water-soluble B vitamin that plays a role in carbohydrate utilisation and the production of important fatty acids. Biotin assist in metabolism of fatty acids and utilization of B vitamins.
Niacin= important in all steps essential for energy production and utilization, tissue and organ function. Niacin is involved in making important tissue and body components. It also promotes release of energy from foods and proper nervouse system functioning.
Pantothenic acid= A B vitamin involved in the metabolism and efficient utilization of fats, hormones, and components necessary for immune function. Involved in the breakdown of carbohydrates, and the formation and breakdown of fatty acids in the body.
Phosphorus= An essential mineral that participates in ph balance and is a component of many enzyme systems. It is essential for energy metabolism, enhances use of other nutrients, is an important component in phospholipids in cell membranes, is cretical for bone and tooth enamel development and helps regulate fluid balance.
Riboflavin= An important component in coenzymes participatin in many enzyme reactions; important for the metabolism of fat and carbohydrate; helps in red blood cell formation; promotes the release of energy from foods; essential in nervous system function.
Thiamine= Essential for converting carbohydrates from the diet to energy. Needed for normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles, including heart muscle.
Vitamin B-6= is very essential for protein metabolism, nervous system and immune functions. It is necessary for the synthesis of hormones and red blood cells.
Vitamin B-12= Necessary for processing carbohydrates, proteins and fats and which is vital for blood (red blood cells) formation as well as a healthy nervous system.
Vitamin C= As everyone knows; Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of the catecholamin neurotransmitters. It plays a role in mobilizing lipids for oxidation. In addition, Vitamin C is required for the production of carnitine, which is essential for the transport of fat and is in charge of energy metabolism. It also plays a role in the conversion of cholesterol into bile acids.
There are a number of bars for everyone. there's Protein bars, breakfast bars, high energy bars, fiber bars, and meal replacement bars. Wheww, say that in one breath.

Wow, this has to be the longest running thread ever!!!
I've always been a Biotest Low-Carb Grow (Choc.) user. Recently they renamed it Metabolic Drive, raised the price and decreased the amount of product in the jar. Plus they were out of stock for a while.
I found Syntrax Nectar on sale at the Vitamin Shoppe for $22.95 so, I tried a few flavors. Definitely like the Lemon Tea and Fuzzy Navel best.
From some posts here
I intend to try Syntrax Matrix and ON as well.

RobDyson

Straight up Anabolic Innovations- pick any flavor and it's better than any protein I have tasted in my life: muscle milk, ON, BSN, Nitrotech, designer porteins, isopure, I could go on forever. Plus only 1 g of fat, and 1 or 2 g carbs in the blend, none in the isolate i believe.
I REALLY miss the old Twin Labs Andro Nitrate Fuel Chocolate. I thought maybe it was the Andro that was making me love it so much, but the last container I could get was Strawberry and it tasted like ****.
ON Pro Complex & ABB RTD's aren't bad.....really miss the old stuff though.
OK, I found it. Muscle Milk Vanilla Creme.....as good as any powder I've ever tasted.
I can't work out why people love Dynamatize Whey Butter Toffee Flavour - I bought a 2lb tub and it's ****! I followed the instructions and it tastes so artificial, not creamy like I thought it would just tasted like I'm eating pure artificial flavour.
Am I doing something wrong? The only way i can drink it is by mixing a half serve with water and sculling.

I find Nutrabolics Isogainer cinnamon vanilla has the be the best tasting protien I have had. Also another thing that tastes great (one of my own concoctions) is taking 2 scoops of ON wheys vanilla protien, 1/4 cup of Irish toffee cappuccino mix by Tim Hortons, and mixing it with 400 ml of ice cold water. It tastes just like an ice cappuccino.

Everybody says musclemilk tastes best. However, the stuff is basically a weightgainer with all the fat and extra ingredients.
I think for 100% whey protein, ON is hands down great. Now, if ON 100% whey wanted to add more sugar, more fat, and more carbs to their product, of course it would be better tasting and would compare.
So, let's stop comparing apples and oranges here. I drink both of these products and they both taste the best, but they are definitely in different classes.

In terms of best tasting protein powder (not best working) I was almost positive it would forever be Muscle Milk with GF-Pro as a close second.

ON double rich chocolate seems to do the trick for me. i cant get enough of this stuff. The price is def great as well.
Same for me. My ranking in taste:
1. ON 100% whey gold standard (I've only had the chocolate, but I'll branch out next time)
2. Prolab 100% Pure Whey (Chocolate and Strawberry are good)
3. GNC
This is based on taste and mixability. I've gotten good results from both the ON and the Prolab. I'd probably recommend the ON because I think it's more g protein per serving.

The only thing I wanted to say, or ask I guess, has to do with the juices I buy at the gym I go to -- Gold's Gym. Up until I joined back in February, the only powders I've tried all tasted, as many have said, very chalky, and gritty flavored. And then I tried these shakes at the gym, they're the best flavored drinks I've ever had (Who knows, maybe they're not really weight gainer drinks at all as they advertise) but, I just can't figure out the brand of powders and syrups they use. And I'm not going to plunk down $5000 to start a franchise. The name of the company is Nutriblendz. Has anyone ever heard of them? And if so, any ideas what powders and syrups they use in their shakes? So far they're the only ones I've liked. Thanks again for all the useful comments. Look forward to reading more.

I went with Dymatize butter toffee, good good stuff. Better than anything I've had from ON, and this is coming from years of ON use. I cant wait to try a new dymatize flavor when this stuff is gone.

i'm presently using
dymatize elite whey (butter cream toffee)
dymatize supreme whey (cafe mocha)
both are good in taste as well as effectiveness
after ur done with butter cream toffee, try green apple and the banana flavour, both are good, taste is not as good as butter cream toffee but they taste better than other other flavours
cafe mocha (dymatize supreme whey) tastes good even with water and tastes better than muscle milk when mixed with skim milk (imo)

I currently bought a tub of the Cytosport Complete Whey Vanilla Bean. Before I was using all the flavors of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard and compared to Complete Whey this Vanilla Bean is the best tasting I've ever had. It tastes like melted cold ice cream when mixed with some fat free skim milk.

I use ON's Natural 100% Whey Protein, no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners because I can't stand aspartame's aftertaste and I try to avoid anything with artificial flavors and colors.
The strawberry tastes great with milk and a little Splenda. Blended with fresh strawberries or a banana it's a real treat.
I haven't tried vanilla or chocolate yet.

I have nothing against ON and will definitely buy their protein again but it is not the best I've ever had. Ultimate's whey is good, Dymatize Elite is delicious, ATW is great, too. Right now, I am completely satisfied with HP's chocolate. IMO, it it tastes better than ON's chocolate. Maybe because I used ON exclusively for years. The ones that I've mentioned are as good or better than ON as far as taste and value are concerned. It seems like some people here tout ON so much because it is either the only powder they've ever tried or because everyone else always hypes it up. I can honestly say that none of the powders were "head and shoulders" better than the rest in result. So, given the price, I'll stick with HP for a while.

I just tried BSN's Chocolate Milk Shake Syntha-6 too and man, it tastes really good! I had a trial packet that contained 44 grams of protein and used 5 oz of water. I would say that it either tastes as good or better than the ON double chocolate, and I've been an advocate for the ON protein since I first started taking protein.

08-06-2006, 11:35 AM
I've never been a fan of the taste of ON and I've tried all of their flavors. Actually, this Vanilla whey from SportPharma (got if from costco) tasted really good. It was cheap, worked well and the taste never got dull. Muscle Milk tastes excellent, but that goes w/o saying, doesn't it??
brayj789
08-07-2006, 05:57 PM
I have to say, as much as this may shock some, Banana GNC whey is the best testing prot. powder with Oats I've tried so far. ON is awesome with milk, or even water, but doesn't add to the taste of cereal or oats very well.
jds25
08-08-2006, 08:22 PM
just switched from ON Chocolate to GNC Chocolate Caramel, i mix it with chocolate milk and it tastes like a milkshake.
No problem taking the extra fat with the chocolate milk, i dont have a very fat heavy diet and it's definitely worth it to have good tasting protein, i actually look forward to drinking my protein after a workout.

I'm assuming you mean ON's Rocky Road. I've tried their Vanilla, their Chocolate, their Rocky Road, and their Cookies and Cream.. My fav. is the rocky road, although I have to admit it's pretty close in tasting to their chocolate. Don't even go near their cardboard-like vanilla though. For a treat, through in some egg whites with the protein and water. It tastes like 50x better.

also, i'm seeing alot of really mixed reviews for ON Cookies 'n Cream. For anyone who's tried Cookies 'n Cream, have you tried their Rocky Road/ what did you think?
last, does ON Choc. Mint taste alot like mint. Would it be good if i don't like mint.

I think the IDS Multi-Pro Whey Isolate is one of the best ones I've tasted every. I've tried Weight Gainer and various other whey protein product and none have had any results. It's probably because of nutrition, due to most protein products does not have very good obsorptions, and need to supplement with other supplements to increase the obsorption.
The whey isolate has a high obsorption rate and therefore more effective for proper muscle growth. I think their best flavor would have to be Banana. it taste just like Banana and you don't taste the protein at all. The Vanilla Cinamon is good too but you can taste the protein a little. Give it a try.

nothing tastes better than Profect's Protein shots, especially the melon flavored. 2.7oz vial, 25G of top grade protein.
they are on the expensive side, but the vials they come in make them ideal for tossing in the gym bag to shoot one after a workout, or before you do cardio. Shopping around, you can get them for about $42/case.

Rest of the protein I need through out the day I try to get from food - chicken breast, etc. Never been able to stomach the powdered "mix" protein supplements too well.

I'm easily a rookie on all this new info here, but after a few months of working out, I have a good steady routine, take a multivitamin(Mega Men), get good rest, and eat a pretty good diet.
I usually take NO Xplode before workout and Muscle Milk after and before bed.
A friend gave me a ********* catalog and their articles show average lean mass gains to be much greater with whey Isolate than with other proteins.
I see people talking about ON Protein and Muscle Milk. I like the taste of Muscle Milk alot. I really want a protein that tastes pretty good.
Questions:
Is a whey protein isolate gonna be more like the texture of NO Explode or Muscle Milk?
If any of you have ever heard of *********, are they telling me the truth when they say "no other protein on the market today is designed to deliver greater anabolic power than NitroWhey Extreme?"
At my stage of the game, should I even worry about whey vs. Muscle Milk?
Outside of Muscle Milk, what is the best tasting prtoein in a whey and how close is it. Keep in mind I can drink Muscle Milk and NO Explode for days b/c it is so good.
Thanks in advance for tolerating a dummy.

personally i like the BSN Syntha 6 Vanilla Ice Cream. i've tried others liked the muscle milk, gnc ok, isopure vanilla was tolerable, but i like Syntha 6 the best.

I just tried PVL Whey Gourmet Cookies and Cream and it was awesome in my porridge.
Much much better than ON C&C, which itself is not bad at all.
Whey Gourmet Choc Coconut Creampie is also very very nice.

The Youth Renew 2000 can be mixed with water or milk. It's non-chalky and tastes like vanilla. Makes a nice morning shake.

I am currently using body fortresses protein I got a 5lb. tub of it at sams for like $20 it has 20g of protein per serving and very low carbs only 110 calories much like optimum whey that I used to use, but it dosent have that stuff in it that Optimum has that makes it pre digested (I forgot what u call it) does that really matter b/c right now im pretty poor but I still want to get an effective protein????

So far I'm the only one...but drinking Isopure in the evening keeps me up all night.The product itself works wonders for my body.I've tried a lot of other protein shakes and Isopure so far delivers the best results.Is there any other primium protein I can try that works just as well and finaly get some sleep?

I really like Six Star Vanilla, as it seems to mix with anything and tastes good.
Muscle Milk is Delicious, and I prefer the Mocha Joe, while my son steals my Banana flavor...argh
Designer Whey Strawberry tasted like real strwberries, not an overly sweet concoction.
I like Myoplex Chocolate Cream the best...the mixability isn't so good, but it is pretty tasty.

I love ON Whey the taste is great, but I just received another 5lb tub from BB and it taste funny. I ordered extreme milk chocolate because I love the taste, but when I tore the plastic cover off this tub and removed the lid, the inner seal was already off and stuck to the lid. The whey had a weird plastic smell and when I mixed it and drank it, it had the same aftertaste, so I will be throwing it away and ordering another. Hopefully I get a good one this time.

I see I'm not the only one. I was drinking ON 100% Whey Vanilla Ice Cream Gold Standard with spring water and it smelled good and tasted great. Maybe not as rich and delicious as Champion's vanilla Pure Whey Protein Stack, but still great and it mixed alot better and had lactase so I was happy with it.
But I love chocolate most of all, so I bought 5lbs of ON Double Rich Chocolate 100% Whey, and it smelled strange. (Couldn't find the Extreme Chocolate in Canada.) In water, it tasted chocolatey but bad and not sweet at all. And the after-taste, which lasted for hours, was salty, metallic and gross like some wierd chemical-taste. I was surprised. I called the distributor in Canada and they happily gave the store a credit note. Very friendly of ON. I wonder if they realized they had a bad batch of chocolate. So, I'm sticking to 10 pound bags of ON Vanilla Ice Cream Gold Standard 100% Whey which have lactase and aminogen. (The 5 pounders didn't have those enzymes.) Yummy!

I've only tried 4 Protein powders so far. All chocolate flavored. They are:
Designer Whey
Balance Total Balance Drink Mix 40-30-30
ON 100% Whey Protein Gold Standard
ON Pro Complex
The best tasting chocolate flavored whey protein so far is Designer Whey. Even with just water, it still tastes great. It's the chocolatiest of the four. The Total Balance comes a close 2nd. It's rich and sweeter but still good with just water. It's a thicker shake and it probably because it has more egg protein in it which I can taste a bit (I will not know the difference if I had not tasted Designer Whey). I don't use milk because I'm lactose intolerant. I use soy beverage from Trader Joe's called WestSoy Plus which I like a lot. Mixing this with either Designer or Total Balance makes a great tasting protein shake kinda like a McDonald's milk shake but not as thick.
Next I ordered 5.15lbs ON 100% Whey Double Rich chocolate and 4.4lbs Pro Complex Chocolate. Wow, they are huge! I probably should have ordered the 2 pounders because I wanted to try other chocolate flavored brands but the bigger tubs are better values. I plan to take the 100% Whey in between meals and the Pro Complex after a workout and/or before bedtime. Anyway, the ON 100% WP has a more chocolatey taste than the ON Pro Complex but both are not as tasty and rather thin mixed with just water compared to the other two. The ON 100% says artificially flavored while the ON Pro Complex says artificially and naturally flavored but not sure at what ratio (can I assume 50/50?) and also says sweetened with Splenda. Although the Pro Complex is partially naturally chocolate flavored, the Splenda sweetening gives it a weird sweeter taste to it. I can taste the artificial sweetness of the Splenda especially if you mix it with just water. Mixing it with soy milk however masks that taste a bit. Both are good and come close to the chocolateyness (is that a word?) of the other two when mixed with soy milk.
I should say that I prefer ON's 100% Whey over their Pro Complex with regards to taste. I don't think I'll buy Pro Complex again, actually, I didn't know they have Pro Complex Gainer which is the one I would have bought. Pro Complex is also more expensive than 100% WP and even more so when compared with the Pro Complex Gainer which is the cheapest. They also have the 100% Natural Whey chocolate using all-natural flavors and sweeteners (perhaps someone can review if they taste any better). I also found *******************.com which gives you a 5% pricematch guarantee and they sell ON 100% WP Extreme Chocolate which I think is the same as the Double Rich Chocolate unless someone can verify.
It will take a while before I review another chocolate flavored whey protein shake. I'm gonna have to try other flavors like strawberry or i'll get tired of chocolate.

In my opinion and mix of ON's 100% Natural Whey and ON's 100% Whey Protein Gold standard tastes awesome in 3:1 mixture. The three fourths of a scoop of the natural whey gives a natural cocoa powder taste and the artificial sweeteners in 1/4 a scoop of regular ON Whey makes it an all around great taste. I feel like it more closely resembles actual chocolate taste when mixed in these proportions.

While I'm now using Dymatize, I gotta give love to Champion Nutrition! Their flavors are pretty damn awesome, especially the "Banana Scream" and their mocha flavor. I'm also a big fan of their Cookies 'n Cream and Tropical Sunrise flavors. All of these mix incredibly with oats =)

i just really really started diggin the taste of ON"S Chocolate whey (altho i liked it)after just about finishing about the whole 5lb tub. Im really stupid, all along i have just been mixing my whey in a glass with water and a spoon.......
Well just last week i decided what the hell and put my 3 scoops+ a little Stevia for extra sweetness and about 6cups water into my blender for pwo, and god damm does blending really make this stuff taste 100% better. Ive been haveing the most delicious huge frothy cold chocolate shakes after my workouts that i actully want to work out just to drink this treat!
Advice for all, always blend your whey if you can, really brings out the frothy goodness.
My next protein soon to be here is Dymatize Elite Cafe Mocha , can't wait to review this one.

I've tried all different kinds of protein, and I have found a favorite... BSN dessert. OMG! This stuff is INCREADIBLE! I have never tasted anything so good in my life! After I bought the Vanilla flavour and fell in love- I ended up buying the other flavours. So far I've tried the Banana nut bread and the chocolate coconut candy bar- And they are better than the vanilla.. But they are BY FAR the best tasting protein I have ever had.
The only down fall is that they are too expensive. I will finish a tub in like, 2 weeks. (16 dollars here on bb.com)

Definently Cytosport's Muscle Milk products. All the flavors are awesome and are great to mix with fruit and juice. My favorite is the Strawberry Milkshake Muscle Milk. Blend it with some water and ice...Just like a strawberry milkshake mmm. I might go make some now. It's not only good as a post workout protein drink but as a meal replacement as well.

Ugh! You sure you haven't tried anything else? Because the very artificial sweetness of chocolate Pro Complex (due to the Splenda) is sickening, I had to mix it with chocolate flavored soy milk. You're missing on the real taste of a chocolate shake.

I am currently mixing 1/2 Vanilla & 1/2 Chocolate Whey Tech from Vitamin Shoppe. The product has a good analysis, mixes easily with any liquid, and has a pleasant flavor with no after-taste. I mix because either flavor alone is less palatable to me, maybe not for others, but this IS a totally subjective thread. I've done the same with other brands and I like this combo the best so far.
