Best TASTING Protein Powder

[Need4Mass]

Muscle milk cookies and cream baby taste like a milkshake.

bannana cream is really good as well :)

[thrashertm]

1. PVL Peanut Butter Chocolate - this whey is freaking amazing in milk. Blend it up with milk and some ice cubes and it tastes exactly like a peanut butter ice cream milk shake, with the consistency you'd get a McDonalds. Wow, this fixes my sweet tooth craving. This does not mix well with water.

2. Dymatize Mint Chocolate and Butter Cream Toffe - I was a little disappointed with these, and was expecting more based on the reviews I'd come across. They have a slight aftertaste which is noticeable if you don't mix it with other taste-bearing foods. It is possible to mix with water for decent results, but both taste far superior mixed with milk. They do not blend with ice and milk as well as the PVL. I like to mix both of these into my morning oatmeal - hellofalot better than some Splenda.

3. Syntrax Lemonade - this is probably the best of the 3 to mix with water. It is a nice fruity change of pace once in a while. Still, it has a slight after-taste and is not as good as I expected.

In the future, I will probably just by PVL in its various flavors. I cannot overstate how good it tastes blended with milk and ice; the consistency is insanely smooth!

[DragonDude]

Syntrax Lemonade Whey? Heard of Lemonade Creatine like ISS Sarur8 but never Whey before will check it out.

[mythman]

Muscle Asylum FREAK FIX, both flavors are good.

[chrischoi1235]

Syntha 6 - Mochaccino

Simply amazing. I could drink it all day.

[Polsie]

i think banana creme flavor from Cytosport tastes amazing !:)

[LoweRider]

Strawberry and Chocolate milkshake Syntha-6 from BSN

[Dlimits]

the best i had is muscle milk

[G0re0bsessed]

I really liked ON 100% whey Choc mint in skim... but just about anything is good with skim so I dunno.

[sasho]

best protein is definately anything from the syntha 6 range:)

[Henry_j]

personal fav is PHD pharma whey, vanilla and strawberry are great tasting and the shake is quite thick, only problem it has is it's mixabilty..... occasional lumps. other good ones are optimum choco mint, smooth feel and great tasting, vanilla one is horrid though :-(

[JayKL149]

Currently I am taking Optimum 100% whey chocolate and so far this is the best tasting one I have tasted. I also had musclestech chocolate protein, optimum vanilla, xyience strawberry, designer whey vanilla,

[AmericanPsycho]

ON 100% has a bunch of great flavors & Freak Fix has good vanilla

[xVERITAS]

i just bought some "Delicious Strawberry" from ON. Name says it all.

Mix it with an organic banana and you have yourself a strawberry banana shake.

[cabocoleman]

BSN Syntha 6 Mochaccino is the best. But try their Lean Desserts...really good too.

[SSMAT04]

I second the Syntha-6. Every flavor tastes great... as if you bought it at an ice cream stand.

[GottaGain]

I tried Muscle Milk today after working out, because my trainer gave me a tub for free, the chocolate flavor is AMAZING! I LOVE IT! Tastes like brownie batter

[Rambo1989]

Muscle Milk Chocolate. It's a little sweet, but it's hell of a lot better than vanilla.

[ShaolinSoccer]

Syntha6 is best tasting QUALITY protein.

[pionex]

BSN's Synthra-6. Once they put out in the PX, it doesn't stay around for long. My roommate bought some last week. But I swear to God, I look for it all last week and didn't see any at all. Had to settle for BSN's Lean Desserts-plus the fact its more for my body type.

[Araa]

100% Whey Protein "Double Rich Chocolate"

[Cristin]

I like the chocolate Designer Whey powder

[Next.Big.Thing]

Optimum Nutrition Double Rich Chocolate. With milk tastes like chocolate milk its a reward for going to the gym :). Pretty cheap as well!

[Boxer666]

i enjoyed my GNC orange cream every time. it MUST be drank with milk.. with water its nasty and burns your stomach. its that fast absorbing **** that mixes with the milk easy..


next time im gonna try to get something with more fat and stuff in it though, a real weight gainer not pure protein

[ImBIGGERThanU]

ok this might have already been said... and if so please disregard....

the best TASTING i've had is
BSN Syntha-6
and
MuscleMilk

I checked out the labels and realized that these two also contain the most calories and fat/sat fat content...

bsn:

for ONE scoop
200 cals
6 grams of fat

musclemilk:

for two scoops (one serving)
300 cals
12 g fat
6 g sat/fat

both of these products are pretty good but you have to make sure your really getting your workouts/cardio in to make sure it goes to good use

the best performing
ON Procomplex

doesn't taste sooo great but it does the job and is decent tasting

[despain85]

i'm a big fan of muscle milk, has any1 tried the new cake batter or brownie batter flavors in water?, if so is it good, and which one is better

I have the Brownie Batter right now and it tastes pretty damn good. It's not exactly like brownies but it's close enough. Also the peanut butter and chocolate is the best tasting stuff I have had besides chocolate syntha-6.

[tattoomuscle]

musclemilk, even better with pd and oreos

[Sethaniel]

Well the best tasting is ofcourse MuscleMilk with Syntha coming in at a close second....i also like Biorythms WholeGains. The best tasting protein with best profile though, i'd have to Lean Pro Matrix, 34gs of time released protein per scoop and only 1g of fat.

[atreides10]

I have to say that of all the ones that I've tried, the one I just ordere heare at Bodybuilding.com about a month ago, is the absolute best - CytoSport Muscle Milk in Dulce De Leche - mmmmmmm.

I mix it was just water and it's so rich, creamy and tastes fabulous!!!

[BelieveTheHype]

Im almost finished with my ON-Double Rich Chocolate. Not bad...but I'm not going to get it again. I plan on trying the ON-Cookies & Cream or a fruit flavor.

[Kilim]

I just got my Isopure Zero Carb: Strawberries & Cream protein supplement.
I must say that this is the best ever!
It mixes perfectly and tastes GREAT!

I tend to use 10-12oz Lactose Free Milk with 2 scoops.

I have tried Next Designer Whey: Chocolate and soemthing else I forgot the name off (was around 7 years ago).

[Bigslugger]

Muscle milk...cookies & cream w/ milk!

[BodyGem]

This is a great tasting AND working mrp/protein shake: YOR MRP

To purchase, you must go online to their store at www.yor.com. Use the username Jewels22

Check out the vitamins and fat burner, too.

[alphaproject]

I would like to try VPX zero impact Whey Isolate. Looks expensive though.

Muscle Milk chocolate Im addicted to at the moment. On ym 4th straight tub.

Mixes with alot of things too, like unflavored Whey Isolate to increase the protein or ON whey mixes well with it in water.

ON needs to make an Isolate. I might plunk down some change for the NOW pure whey isolate or something from vitacost. They got NSI brand.....no clue on how it tastes though. All I know is that Isopure is too much $$$ and I don't like the powders at all, only the RTD versions.

[mada071]

VPX Protein is the best imo, the Gram cracker is to die for.

but the price kills you. x_x

[LiL_Gun]

Muscle Milk Chocolate in milk..... unbeatable!!!!

[Mavrick.Rus]

ON 100% Whey Double Rich Chocolate!

[apace]

did anybody try Dorian Yates Ultimate Formula Protein ??

i tried some Nectar today....and was not satisfied.

ON 100% Whey.........not satisfied.

MuscleMilk.....very satisfied, for bulkers only though.


Labrada Lean Body RTD......very satisfied. can be used for people who are cutting....doesnt make me feel bloated.

Designer Whey......not satisfied.

MetRx......decent, but made me feel bloated.

Isopure RTD......decent, but gave me a dry mouth.

Myoplex RTD....really has no taste. Doesnt taste good or bad.

[staceinspace]

I love chocolate Syntha 6 as it tastes just like a chocolate shake and gives a tremendous boost before a workout! It gives me great energy before and after my training sessions and lifting and it is great before I run.

[chinchillables]

I'll take working better over tasting better any day.


http://b65.us/getbig/lol.jpg

[nbkdawg]

Muscle Milk - Chocolate

Cytogainer - Chocolate Malt

[seanf76]

any suggestions on flavors i should get for ON 100% Whey

vanilla
also try it with adding frozen fruit to it in a blender

[ht2008]

I hav ON whey vanilla

ITS AWESOME WITH MILK..

in water tho its ok..but make sure u dont put too much water...otherwise it will taste really nasty.

[Rob Awesome]

IMO - Nitro Core 24 at the moment. M'mmm.

[johnndiesel]

muscle milk collegiate

[Milesofsmiles]

ON 100% DBL Chocolate mixed up real good in 1% - Perfect

[user345008781]

Isopure

[TheGainz]

Well the best tasting is ofcourse MuscleMilk with Syntha coming in at a close second....i also like Biorythms WholeGains. The best tasting protein with best profile though, i'd have to Lean Pro Matrix, 34gs of time released protein per scoop and only 1g of fat.


I agree, Muscle Milk is the best tasting one, but so is ice cream and I could still get my protein, carbs, and calories from that... I too, would also recomend taking the Lean Pro Matrix because you get a ridiculous amount of protein per serving, where as Muscle Milk is only giving you 16 grams of a non time released blend per scoop. Protein is like 10 bucks a pound now, so you want to get the most bang for your bucks. The Lean Pro Matrix taste great, but you can always add in an extra scoop of ice cream if you are really keen on taste. The fat content would probably still be less than whats in Muscle Milk.

[planettamar]

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 absolutely fell inlove with AllMax Nutrition's Isoflex in Chocolate with Chocolate Chips. Not only is the IsoFlex GLUTEN and ASPARTAME FREE, but it TASTES incredible, mixes in WATER without leaving any chucks, and it is easily digestible and it assimilates quickly into the blood stream getting to the muscles quickly and efficiently. I made up a few recipes with the Chocolate Chip flavor! Who would have thought that Chocolate Protein powder would taste great mixed with Orange Juice for a Quick Whey Protein and simple carb post workout drink?! At home I would do a scoop (27g worth) of the Isoflex Chocolate add in 1/2 cup OJ (Tropicana or something...not concentrated), add in about 1/2 cup of plain non fat yogurt, 2 packs of splenda and ice to thicken! Yummy...it was like an chocolate orange creamsickle! Then, I had an idea when I was having a sugar craving. I had some FRESH Bing Cherries. I pitted them (about 20) threw them in the blender with one scoop of the Isoflex chocolate protein powder, added in 2 packs of splenda, ice and water and blended away. It was like eating Cherry Garcia Ben and Jerry's Icecream! See, with the gluten and wheat intolerance that I have, I have to come up with wild and crazy concoctions that are tasty and fun to eat that will satiate a sweet tooth! Well, Isoflex is not only good for muscles, but it helps to make a tasty treat when in a bind!!!! :-) That is my story and I am sticking to it! :-) Yeah Baby!

[SippinWhey]

Alot of People are saying Musclemilk for the best tasting protein. I think of Musclemilk as a meal replacement more than a protein powder, it's so much more than just protein. Some of the best tasting Whey proteins I have tried are Beverly Muscle provider, Syntrax Nectar

[beefy1234]

On Optimum Whey 100% Double Rich Chocolate with frozen strawberries, blueberries, few spoons of oatmeal, flax seeds and almonds. Tastes good and fill you up in the morning.

[CharliC]

Just tried ON 100% Whey Double Rich Chocolate- where have you been all my life? Perfect level of sweetness, not a hint of cardboard flavour and delicious with just water.

[OakExpress]

Just tried ON 100% Whey Double Rich Chocolate- where have you been all my life? Perfect level of sweetness, not a hint of cardboard flavour and delicious with just water.

I agree! I use Vanilla for smoothies but the Chocolate with water is great!

[jruez]

I read a lot of reviews on this forum for ON's 100% whey power, all very positive, and decided to try it out. I do find it very easy to mix, in water or milk, but I do not think it tastes as good as some of the other powders I have been using. In fact, I just don't really like the taste at all. I do not think it is very strong. If I mix it with water, it tastes like watered down chocolate. If I use milk, it tastes like chocolate milk with way too much milk. I can figure out the way to make it taste better if there is a good reason, other than the taste, to be using it. Any comments?

I am new to this forum, so please let me know what you all think. I read a lot of negative statements regarding BSN products, but I still am not sure why everyone feels that way. I had been using Syntha-6 before changing to ON's double rich chocolate product. I found Syntha-6 to mix very easily, just like ON did, but I thought it tasted better. I read a post discussing a few ingredients that were questionable, but still am not sure why everyone says this is a powder for newbies and people who know nothing about weightlifting. Could I be directed to some real arguments? I haven't been able to find any if they are on this forum.

Also, I was using CytoSport's Muscle Milk. It tastes fantastic and seems to be a good mixture of proteins. The only thing I found was a high fat content, but they cut that down from 18 to 12 grams. What does everyone think about this powder? Thanks

[yokusuka21]

Muscle Milk - Chocolate

Cytogainer - Chocolate Malt

^^^ what he said. been taking it for 3 weeks now, seems to be working out for me. BTW newbie here to BB, so hello to everyone.

[alphaproject]

Muscle Milk is by far the best tasting chocolate I've ever had so it's hard to say "no" to it for any reason.

I know you need at least 4 scoops a day to get any real benefits however, you can mix in some unflavored whey isolate or ON whey to add extra protein and it will last longer.

[push_it]

The best (by FAR) for the amount of protein in it and 0 carbs... is Ultimate Nutritions Iso Sensations!!! I love the chocolate and vanilla. They taste awsome by themselves but also mixed in things like oatmeal. YUM!

[alphaproject]

The IsoSensations looks impressive actually.

In comparison though...... here are some cheaper longer lasting servings.
No clue on taste.


IDS Multi-Pro Whey 5 pounds. $40.99
NOW Whey Protein Isolate $49.99 (use 1 scoop not 2)
Nature's Best Zero Carb Isopure $38.99 (1 scoop vs 2 ) 3 pounds

Although....the 5 pounds natural peaks my interest. I'd throw that in with some Muscle Milk. 69 servings would last a good 2 months.

[boboboy]

+1 for muscle milk.

ON 100% Whey I heard a lot of people saying that Double Rich Chocolate is AWESOME... but I am not a big chocolate guy.... would you suggest any other flavors.... was thinking either........Strawberry Banana, Cookies and Creme or Extreme Milk Chocolate.

Thanks guys!

[jruez]

ON 100% Whey I heard a lot of people saying that Double Rich Chocolate is AWESOME...

The Double Rich Chocolate is what I am using and I do not like it at all. Again, I think it mixes great, but the taste is not good. I am very surprised that so many people have recommended this protein and was wondering if there is some other reason (other than the taste) that people think it is so good.

[bled]

Taste is very important to me because otherwise I won't drink the stuff.

#1 by far of the powders I have tried is Syntha-6 Chocolate

#2 is the Syntha-6 Strawberry

Others that were decent but not great are the Nectar Lemonade, GNC Wheybolic Chocolate and Syntha-6 Moccachino. I have not tried the Muscle Milk as that is just way to much fat for me...the Syntha-6 is pushing the limit as it is. I did try Muscle Milk "light" chocolate and thought the taste was mediocre at best.

Remember that taste is a subjective thing...

[trafficsucks]

BSN's Synthia 6 all of the flavors are good as heck!!! Wayy better tasting that muscle millk and for a while i thought mucle milk was goooood as hell

[manONfire]

hi i just got the ON 100% whey , first time i started taking proteinshakes. My question is should I only use one scoop to 6-8 oz of milk or water or does the amount change form bodyweight to bodywheight?

[Assyriandude]

cytosport complete whey

strawberry banana and chocolate mint are really good

[Assyriandude]

ON 100% Whey I heard a lot of people saying that Double Rich Chocolate is AWESOME... but I am not a big chocolate guy.... would you suggest any other flavors.... was thinking either........Strawberry Banana, Cookies and Creme or Extreme Milk Chocolate.

Thanks guys!


delicious strawberry is really good

[dabirds44]

Like everyone else I've tried a million protein powders and for me the best tasting is Syntha 6 by BSN. I'm using the strawberry milkshake flavor right now and it is unbelievable, literally tastes like a milkshake. Haven't tried any of the other flavors but from what I hear they are all really good...

[McCannons]

Adding cinnamon to protein shakes makes a big difference in any shake. I highly recommend this.

[Wakaba]

Syntha 6 Strawberry and Creme Brulee Muscle Milk!

[John Geelan]

My 2 favorites are Syntha 6 Chocolate and EATSMART (base flavor) by Isatori.

Both taste like a ice cream shake.

I add a fresh banana to the EATSMART to add flavor. They used to have different flavors you could add but don't have em right now.

[RonShipman]

We aint in it for taste, we are in it to get big!!!!!!!

[infamous_vik]

Banana Creme Muscle Milk without a doubt. when i first tasted that i was just amazed.

i would even purposely not mix it perfectly so a few clumps were left floating...the clumps tasted sooooooo good :p

i'm using vanilla creme now...still good but not AS good

[TheJosh]

I have tried MANY different brands, and most taste all the same to me, so I go with the cheapest, 2lb of EAS 100% Whey for $13.99 at Walmart.

I also have a tub of cookies n creme muscle milk left over, that tastes good, but I prefer the vanilla whey.

[phenomenon666]

Varcil-R2 by Nanox Nutriceuticals! BEST TASTE i've ever had!!! its a step further than regular whey isolate...its designer immunoglobulin isolate. Got some samples of this amazing stuff. heard that this product is coming out in july

or

Essence by syntrax

[jruez]

We aint in it for taste, we are in it to get big!!!!!!!

This comment does not help in any way. Are you trying to say that ON is better for getting big? That BSN or Cytosport products don't get you big? If so, why?

The only negatives I have been able to find about these two products on this forum are very vague .. mostly being that you are a stupid beginner if you buy them, but no one has really said why they would choose ON over BSN. If I am missing an article or post that you could point me to, that would help.

BSN Syntha-6 Cookies N Cream!!

[Miguel1979]

My favourite whey flavor is anything with chocolate. And being Belgian I know what good chocolate tastes like. The whey with the best chocolate flavour out there is definitely the one by PVL; Whey Gourmet. A shame they don't sell it on bb.com.

[asuguy]

Muscle Milk is by far the best tasting chocolate I've ever had so it's hard to say "no" to it for any reason.

I know you need at least 4 scoops a day to get any real benefits however, you can mix in some unflavored whey isolate or ON whey to add extra protein and it will last longer.

yeah its like a meal replacement. i use 2 scoops for breakfast and a bit of fruit and Im set.

[alphaproject]

BSN Syntha-6 Cookies N Cream!!

This is not bad at all.

I had a sample size of it today and added 1 scoop ON whey natural vanilla and liked the taste.

[BrianMC88]

Out of all the Strawberry flavors I've tasted, ON Whey Delicious Strawberry has tasted the best. I think of it as my dessert after working out.

Every protein supplement has always been some form of Strawberry, I've never been a fan of Chocolate, Vanilla, Cookies & Cream, or any other stuff that reminds me of ice cream...

[mrselfde_struct]

why cant someone just make a good god damn peanut butter one already!!!! LOL

ON im looking at you guys, or BSN! Comeone gang get with the program! Your coming out with everything but what we all love!

btw... the ON vanilla chai is freaking awesome.

[wickedwalker]

bsn's true mass vanilla was the best tasting powder i have ever tasted, to bad it didnt work for me

[alinu]

What do you guy's think of this flavour??? Cause I'm about to get some protein and the only ON flavour it has at the store is that...So ? :D

[mrselfde_struct]

I like it more than the chocolate. its has a little flavor to it. Tastes like rocky road too. :) give it shot you might like it.

[Wantone]

vote for ON 100% Whey Double Rich Chocolate, taste great with water and even better with milk.

[cbs]

Champion Nutrition Pure Whey Stack - Cookies & Creme

Muscle Milk - any flavor...but my favs are chocolate caramel pecan and chocoloate peanut butter.

ON Extreme Milk Chocolate - this protein is good in water and great with milk.

[felcardozo23]

I Have Tried Almost Every Flavor Of On Whey Protein An The Best So Far Has Been The Strawberry Banana Flavor

[rhapathy]

Easy disolving, best tasting ON 100% Whey - Delicious Strawberry

[Paul_2_Oh]

Syntha-6 Chocolate and ON Double Rich Chocolate are both amazing.

I like the Fresh Cinnamon Dessert from BSN. Check BSNOnline.com for it.

Cookies n Creme

[sasha8988]

I have tried lots of protein powders, and as far as taste, consistency, mixability, and texture goes, hands down:

Nature''s Best Zero Carb Isopure, 3 Lbs., Low Carb Dutch Chocolate

While I like Designer Whey, all their powders have this certain unifying overly sweet thickness that I'm not quite in love with. The Isopure, on the other hand, tastes exactly like chocolate milk. Its not trying too hard, and its perfect just mixed with water. Not too frothy, not too ambitious in its attempt to taste like turtle cheesecake or anything like that... just good old fashioned delicious chocolate!

Seriously, blend it up with a little ice, water and a tablespoon or so of sugar free hazelnut coffee creamer (or peanut butter)... INCREDIBLE! Better than a chololate ice-cream shake- it makes sticking to your nutrition program super easy!!

Sasha

[racheljrogers]

My favs:

pre-made muscle milk
cookies n creme
banana

Optimum (ON) 100% Whey
Note: Mixed w/ skim milk.
It's totally different with water.
Vanilla Chai <<< so tasty!
Double Rich Chocolate

[racheljrogers]

Nature''s Best Zero Carb Isopure, 3 Lbs., Low Carb Dutch Chocolate

Seriously, blend it up with a little ice, water and a tablespoon or so of sugar free hazelnut coffee creamer (or peanut butter)... INCREDIBLE! Better than a chololate ice-cream shake- it makes sticking to your nutrition program super easy!!

Sasha

I'll def try that, I love peanut butter.

[Requisite 101]

Any of the lean desserts taste REALLY good with milk

Very true!

[Brooknamsfinest]

ON's gold standard vanilla whey works fine for me. taste good and gets the job done. 5.5 g's of bcaa's,4 G's of glutamine. low fat and low sugars. I've also tried the MRI french vanilla whey and that taste great. i've tried nitro-tech by MT and i wasn't fan of the taste, both vanilla and chocolate. I stack ON's whey with creatine and i'm happy with the results i'm seeing.

[beefyron]

GNC chocolate caramel. tastes like chips ahoy, my favorite to date. I get TP because for the same price i get cold filtered whey (no lactose farts) and flax oil powder and protease enzyme. TP flavors are very good, but they don't make one that tastes like cookies. def dropping the flax next order (i can't keep all that whey in the fridge) and maybe the protease.

[tintinet]

My favourite whey flavor is anything with chocolate. And being Belgian I know what good chocolate tastes like. The whey with the best chocolate flavour out there is definitely the one by PVL; Whey Gourmet. A shame they don't sell it on bb.com.

Just got some Dymatize Iso 100: gag me with plastic cotton candy! Placed a rescue order of PVL Peanut Butter Chocolate- still the best I've ever tried vs. ON, Designer Whey, Champion, Dymatize, Cytosport, Isopure- all very good, BTW.

[johnhan]

We've found that trying to gag down any sort of protein powder is one of the more difficult aspects of our workout/supplement regimen. We mix with water to avoid too many calories which makes it even worse. The very best pre-mixed protein drink we've found is Muscle Milk - we actually drinking these versus dreading it. BUT, lots of calories!!

[Executivej]

Guys, i've tried just about every brand out there. The consistent problem with this board is that people are comparing powders like Syntha 6 to ON Whey... you can't! So let's break this down to 3 best tasting powder categories (i can't comment on weight gainers):

1) Whey Protein, low fat/carb: I have 2 favorites here. My absolute top choice based on ingrediant profile and taste is VPX Zero Carb Graham Cracker. My second choice is Cytosport Dutch Chocolate. This is a much cheaper powder than VPX so i take this more as the between meals shake while i do the VPX post workout or first thing in the morning.

Note: While i like ON for it's balance between profile (solid) and taste (drinkable) anyone who says they have the best tasting powders is nuts.

2) Casein Protein: This is interesting. MY ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE TASTING POWDER in the world is Ultra Peptide 2.0 Choc Peanut Butter. 1 scoop in 6-7 ounces of water tastes awesome. The issue is, you can't compare this to other Casein powders because 2.0 has a lot of fat..good fat, but fat nonetheless. So, if you want to go the non fat Casein Powder route go with Ultra Peptide 1.0 or ISS Micellular Matrix. Both EXCELLENT choices in Chocolate flavor for profile and taste.

3) Meal Replacements: This is the category i put Syntha 6 and Muscle Milk in. It's totally unfair to compare these to the other category powders in taste because they have so much more calories and other "felxibility" to allow for a better tasting product. For example, it's no wonder Ultra Peptide 2.0 tastes better than 1.0, it's the grams of fat that's added. So for this section, my favorites are the Muscle Milk Flavors. While Syntha 6 Strawberry and others taste great, i found myself getting tired of them quickly. But flavors like cake batter and choc banana crunch for muscle milk...wow, even in water But rememeber, these are HIGH IN FAT.


In conclusion: i can't say this enough: i have yet to taste a category 1 protien powder that truly tastes AMAZING. Sure there are quite a few that have great profiles and are VERY DRINKABLE. But, to have an enjoyable experience...haven't found it yet in category 1 but definitely found it in categories 2 and 3.

hope this helps.

You lost all Credibility with me right there. That stuff was chalky as hell.

[brosbeforehoes]

American Sports Nutrition "American Whey" hands down, they were used in 4 of the Juice bars I worked at during college and damn is the taste amazing! I'd have everyone from serious NPC competitors to the average Joe wondering what brand is it... Well after looking around I finally found it at a good price in a few places, but if you want an link just PM me... Oh and not to mention they have around 6-8 flavors that are all out of this world!

Runner up would have to be Muscle Milk!

[knarf1]

What's a quality but affordable Whey? I'm looking for something that isn't too thick and that a couple of scoops gives me 40-50g of protein. I'd be taking in 2-3 a day.. pre and post workout as well..

one scoop of ON Double rich Chocolate mixed with milk is 33 grams per serving...

You can double it for 66... but that also gets you closer to 700 cals (if you use skim milk)

[AMillane7]

vote for ON 100% Whey Double Rich Chocolate, taste great with water and even better with milk.

just bought some i agree :)

Besides water and skim milk, we use watered down white grape juice at our bar. It's good if you want to make a sweeter shake. We have a shake were we use ON 100% Whey Chocolate with the juice, banana and strawberries - definitely a favorite for a lot of the members.

[Executivej]

You lost all Credibility with me right there. That stuff was chalky as hell.

Dizzy, i couldn't disagree more but then again, taste is relative to the person. I've heard a few others complain it's chalky, i personally don't see it. I like the Banana Cream too. This is my favorite tasting powder in water, hand's down. However, i never denied the quality taste of powders like Muscle Milk and Syntha 6. I just feel the taste+profile combo of UP trumps these products for pre-bed. Meal replacement is another story.

[johnhan]

Sure would be nice to just jump in the car and drive to whatever store sells the brands you guys are talking about. We whine about this all the time but the Base Exchange here at Ramstein Germany is soooooo limited and unpredictable. True, we can order on line but who wants to wait anywhere from 5 to 30 days?? We recently ordered a fat burner from this site - it literally just arrived today and was shipped 4 weeks ago. God bless america (with a multitude of choices and convenience at your fingertips). We need to come home!!!!

[johnhan]

By the way, executivej, great information on your post. Muscle Milk rocks but check this out - we had a steady supply on the base for about a year but then suddenly the supply chain failed somewhere and we lost it for nearly a month. A lot of people stationed here loved it and went without and then when the supply came back in, everyone started buying it up BIG TIME so put another fragile military exchange supply system.

1) Syntha-6 strawberry
2) Any Scitec Nutrition chocolate flavored

About ON DOuble rich chocolate, I've read tons of positive reviews, but it's just "ok" not creamy enough for me :)

The Syntha-6 line just seems to be awesome. I haven't had every flavor (yet) but I plan to.

[newedgepnoy]

I don't really like the ON double rich chocolate. It's taste like the EAS crap you can buy from costco. The best tasting one is the 4Ever Whey Isolate, the chocolate flavor. It's better than any muscle milk or ON I've ever tasted.

[Executivej]

It stinks that you have such a hard time with choices. When you have the chance, try to find some UP 2.0 Choc PB. you'll either think it's the best powder or like some others, find it chalky. One thing is certian, it's definitely a powder to try once for yourself.

Muscle Milk has a great flavor system.. Cytosport Complete Whey, which is their "non/low fat" powder also doesn't taste bad (but i'd never compare the 2) so they clearly know what they're doing with flavors. The knock of course is the fat content (i'm not a buyer of the eat fat lose weight theory) and the lower quality protein which is why i cannot suggest MM after workouts or first thing in the morning.

Syntha-6 is also like a said a great tasting powder and has a better profile than MM. That's why you see so many people recommending this.

By the way.. for those of you looking for the best tasting powder that has the best ingredient profile (e.g. as little fat as possible) you got to try the VPX ZERO Carb powder... puts ON (which i like by the way) to shame in many ways.

[willEum]

Ive tried Met-RX whey, EAS whey, Bally total fitness whey, and syntha-6.
Syntha-6 is by far the best tasting. I have a problem with protein powders that have a strong whey taste. Which all three of the others had, the EAS made me really sick and i actually lost 8 pounds in about 2 weeks when i was done puking. The Syntha-6 tastes like nesquick with a slight whey taste, its sooooooo good.

[G00fySmiley]

MRI ProNOS protien cookies and cream... its like drinking an oreo

[CBinns23]

Just tried the Syntha 6's Chocolate Peanut Butter and was very happy with the taste. I tastes like their chocolate milkshake powder plus a tablespoon of peanut butter which stays true to the flavor CHOCOLATE peanut butter....personally i wouldnt mind some extra peanut butter in their because i love peanut butter....

but once again an outstanding taste for a protein powder!

great job BSN

[italianplaya30]

any of the Beverly International Protein powders are awesome

especially the cookies and creme made into a pudding yummmmmmmmmmmm

OMG?!?! When did they comeout with a pb flavor???? i have been waiting since day 1!

Now if ON would only make a pb, i would be in heaven. i use syntha more for a meal and on is my everyday protien...

[emblem31]

the only whey chocolate protein powder from top form. Tastes great.

haha maybe like beginning of last week...i had been searching for it for a while and gave up, then one day i drank some syntha 6 and was like pumped so i went to the page and saw that it was now here on bb.com,
so i ordered right away

[Chuckarthy]

American Whey Chocolate flavor kicks ass! Hell I would drink the stuff for the taste if it was cheaper =0

[Nick Helm]

Muscle Milk- I always get the chocolate milk flavor. The powder smells like cake mix, and it only gets better when you mix it up!

[ironguy]

actually, I just recently tried this brand called Integrated supplements that makes a pure whey isolate. It tastes exceptional and has none of the added **** in it. Go for the coffee ice cream and choco mint flavors

[mamasboy]

[IrockZ]

pvl choc. peanut butter hands down.. syntha 6 tasted good but is def more of a mea replacement.. pvl has amazed me with their flavor systems.. ive tried everything, from beverly, to champion, to scitek, and every thing in between.. i hope pvls macros are accurate!

[italianplaya30]

scivation Whey is delicious!!

[sam3405]

PhD Nutrition Synergy: its an all in one and it taste great, theyve got great flavours like , Double Chocolate Cookie, Strawberry cheesecake and a few more.
great taste!

[Dolfan_714]

Below is a list of all the powders I've used in the last 5 years that I can remember

ON = Cookies & creme, Double Rich Chocolate, Strawberry and Rocky Road

GF Pro = Blueberry madness

Muscle Milk = Strawberry milkshake, Peanut Butter Chocolate, Bluberries 'n Creme

EAS Whey = Chocolate

Syntrax Nectar = Fuzzy Navel, kiwi strawberry, and Apple Ecstasy

Dymatize = Gourmet Vanilla and Butter Toffee

NLN Lean pro Matrix = Strawberry & creme, Chocolate, and Banana's & creme

Cytosport complete whey = Cookies 'n' Creme and Cocoa Bean



Best Tasting Whey concentrate

Dymatize butter toffee... is awesom sludge style

(Sludge - 2 scoops protein, 2 tbspn PB, 2 to 4 oz water mixed into a paste... put in freezer 30-60 minutes... best part of my day!)



Best Tasting Whey Isolate

Syntrax Kiwi Strawberry (just in water taste just like juice)
Syntrax Fuzzy Navel (blended with oats and frozen fruit)



Best Quality hands down and it's a blend

Lean pro Maxtrix (http://nlnutrition.net/lean-pro-matrix.html) Banana & creme is only next to the Dymatize butter Toffee as far as the best I've tasted. Just wish it was available in more places.

[brandoppsx]

So, I've always been an avid fan of the ON Whey 100% Gold Standard protein powders...but DAMN, I ordered the Mocha Cappucino flavor from bb.com and it has completely knocked my socks off! It's the best tasting protein powder I've had to date. I'm definitely going to be ordering more of it...and more....and more...

[McBitt]

lol you're gonna upset the mob with the syntrax lovin'.

[Deviant Dingo]

I duno why ppl like ONs flavours so much, you can taste the artificial sweetner in them far too much. Theyre pretty watery shakes aswell. Muscle milk kills em for flavour

Ive had

PVL - pina colado, vanilla icecream

ON's - Everything... the strawberry is actually disgusting, the rockyroad tastes so artificial i got sick of it after 3 shakes.

Cellbiology- chocolate, lemon sorbet, caramel, choc mint.

Muscle milk- choc mint chip, banana cream, browny batter

Dymatize- orange dreamsicle, pina colado, cafe mochacino, cookies n creme.

Gentec- chocolate

Elemental nutrition- chocolate, banana.

I also had one that was like fruit juice, i didnt enjoy it too much prefer the creamy flavours.


Muscle milk chocmint and browny batter, are easily to two best flavours ive tried so far.

[iain1668]

id say CNP pro peptide. Very nice to drink, slightly thick and not sweet.

closely followed by ON whey, choc mint.

syntha 6 is worth a mention.

[iain1668]

PhD Nutrition Synergy: its an all in one and it taste great, theyve got great flavours like , Double Chocolate Cookie, Strawberry cheesecake and a few more.
great taste!



Hey,

Heard all about this products taste. yet to sample it.....Its meant to be goooooood!

[infernooo]

Dymatize ISO100 Chocolate - hands down the best WPI 0g fat, extremely low carb chocolate protein powder I have tried. I like my proteins to have the least amount of additives possible - if I want vitamins + minerals I will take them separately. I also want ZERO fat and basically ZERO carbs.

Mixes and tastes better then Optimum Nutrition chocolate and is better quality (WPI vs mixed/WPC), has less fat, less cholesterol, less carbs - perfect for my needs.

I have also tried:

Optimum Nutrition:
100% Vanilla - Boring, artificial vanilla flavour
100% rocky road - Horrible, nasty aftertaste
100% chocolate mint - Very nice, gets boring after a while though
100% banana - Horrible artificial flavour
100% cookies n cream - Just as bad as rocky road
100% strawberry - Horrible artificial flavour
100% chocolate - VERY nice, almost like Nesquick, very mild chocolate flavour

Dymatize:
Elite Chocolate - Very nice, doesn't mix as well as ON but has a strong chocolate flavour
Elite Butter Toffee - Nice at first, but then it turns bad and I started hating it
Elite Cafe Mocha - VERY nice, up there with my favourites (ON chocolate or chocolate mint)
Elite Chocolate Mint - VERY nice, about equal with ON's chocolate mint
Elite Vanilla - Terrible artificial flavour
Elite Banana - Didn't enjoy it very much
ISO100 Vanilla - Slightly better than the Elite version, but still just tastes wrong and boring.


Syntrax:
Nectar Apple - Never touching this again, VERY artifical flavour
Nectar Fuzzy Navel - Worse than the apple, never touching this again either.

At the end of this, my favourites (in order from best to worst) are:

Dymatize ISO100 Chocolate
ON 100% Chocolate
Dymatize Elite Chocolate
ON 100% Chocolate Mint or Dymatize Elite Chocolate Mint or Dymatize Cafe Mocha (tie between the 3)


Note: All of the above have been tried with water and skim/non-fat milk (except ob course the Syntrax fruit flavours). All are without a doubt better with milk, but the only ones that are decent with water are the dymatize and ON chocolate, choc+mint and cafe mocha.

[mdouglasxy]

I just ordered this protein

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard -- Chocolate10 LB


Is it any good? I never used protein before because I got it in my meal. But now I think it's time to use it since my gains are lacking.

[PowerHouse88]

The best tasting protien powder iv ever had is Mint Chocolate from ON.

[Methadrol]

Muscle Milk or ON 100% whey. have both in chocolate. have MM in cookies and cream. its okay

[ozfiz]

Dymatize 12 hour protein in vanilla or chocolate

PVL chocolate peanut butter whey

both godly

[swollPH91]

i don't know why everyone raves about ON. i just bought a jug of chocolate mint , and i've tasted the chocolate, and they both tasted a little bitter and bland.

Hands down, the best I've ever had is MRI's chocolate Pro-Nos. 2 scoops is extremely thick and rich even in 12 oz of water and it has enough good fats and calories to be used as a gainer if you take it in milk with PB

[rbmoore]

Def going with the Vanilla MuscleMilk if your going for taste and dont mind tons of fat

[RippedFamMan]

I agree, no idea why people rave about ON. Its okay, but not great by anymeans. All subjective I guess. The new Scivation Whey Chocolate is great.

[bman2380]

I still wonder that...

Best tasting goes to BSN hands down.

[Junkie2]

Just bought a 6lb tub of Nitro Core 24 Sensational Cinnamin Roll and it's the most amazing flavor i've ever tasted

[Juztin967]

Optimum nutrition Mint Chocolate... just amazing.

[Kmart23]

American Whey, by American Sports Nutrition.

Picked up 10lbs for just under $50, (plus postage.) so, it is the cheapest I am aware of, AND the banana tastes awesome with milk. The chocolate is great also, but the banana is da bomb! To save on the $$, you do get a few grams of fat and a few grams of carbs, but you still get over 20g of protein per serving.

[Eat-n-Lift]

I'm about to pick up a tub of ON 100% Whey and Casein, any suggestions on flavors.

[skullcrusher149]

My favorite protein, so far, has to be the BSN Syntha-6 strawberry flavor. I was just getting soooo sick of my EAS Vanilla, so I thought i'd upgrade haha. Definitely going to stick with it for quite some time, damn tasty!

[firmanator]

cytogainer/muscle milk is pretty delicious.
ON pro complex was pretty tasty as well.....

[roid_monkey]

hell's yeah. cytosport FTW

[Warneckutz]

I'm about to pick up a tub of ON 100% Whey and Casein, any suggestions on flavors.

I like their 100% Whey Pumpkin Pie.

If you're going to buy ON Casein - I'd go with Vanilla, personally. I'm not much for the taste of either but I think Vanilla tastes better and mixes better with other proteins (if you want to mix them).

[RippedFamMan]

Scivation Whey tastes like cocoa, as in hot chocolate, only cold of course. Its great.

[RonShipman]

Vitamin Shoppe ******** 24 protein Vanilla is simply off the hook. So serious

[cbs]

Straight whey: Champion Nutritions Pure Whey Stack cookies and creme

Blend: ON Nitrocore 24 Caramel toffee fudge(this stuff is absolutely amazing in water and in milk)

[RickStaaa]

I've only had ON 100% whey and ON Natural 100% whey oh and EAS 100% whey

of those three i've had........EAS 100% Vanilla way hands down was the tastiest.

[Rwalker31]

Muscle milk- Chocolate peanut butter, Chocolate Banana Crunch. soon to try their new flavors, Cake batter and brownie batter.

[soundcheck129]

Just tried All The Whey's Cupcake Batter...tastes exactly like funfetti cake!

[goldylocs37]

Optimum Nutrition Cookies & Creme so far is the best tasting I've had. Great flavor and easy to mix with water. Since I've had to forfeit my cappuccino from QT, my next venture is going to be ON Mocha Capp. Heard rave reviews about it also!

[Chocobananas]

Mochachino Syntha-6. Nothing comes close.

[furyhockey]

yea Syntha-6 cookies n cream is phenomenal. Mixed perfect and the taste is unbelieveable.

[superneuby]

Chocolate or Vanilla, great taste and superior quality!!!

[Deviant Dingo]

everyone seems to be saying this, but this being a thread for taste only is it really a musclemilk/syntha-6 beater???

[Warneckutz]

I've only had ON's Nitro Core 24's Caramel Toffee Fudge, but I imagine the rest of the Nitro Core 24 flavors are up there in taste (and quality) and give both Muscle Milk and Syntha-6 a run for their money.

[RobNyc]

So tired of all the same flavors from all diff companies.
Some taste ok, some horrible, some have different taste.

The best tasting protein I ever tasted has been with JayRobbs protein, and my fav is Pina COlada.. I been taking ON Whey Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry but already sick and tired of it.

[suppstart]

iv had 3 so far..
1. ON double rich chocolate : bland. did not like it all that much but not that bad. Cookies & Cream is much better.
2. Dymatize elite caf? mocha : very chemical. don't know how I'll be able to finish it!
3. Syntha-6 vanilla ice cream : can't have enough. wish I could drink it all the time but can't afford to. lol.

[suppstart]

also, Iv heard syntrax nectar is pretty good. unfortunately, we do not get it over here.

[Warneckutz]

[kookiemonster]

My first post!!

Only started to actively workout and bought BNS Syntha 6 based upon the recommedation of th shop owner.
And since I'm a strawberry flavour fan, that is what i bought.
Gotta say that it is pretty damn good mixed in water.

Of course, I'm going to buy something more budget wise.
ON 100% whey banana cream is on order.
Supposedly, this tastes really good also.
Hope to see good things from ON.

[kevjjohnson]

also, Iv heard syntrax nectar is pretty good. unfortunately, we do not get it over here.

I actually really like the Syntrax nectar. I've had a couple of the flavors and enjoyed both the fuzzy navel and the roadhouse lemonade. I usually take it as a post-workout protein. The Syntrax Matrix is pretty good also considering it's a 5-pounder.

I can't remember being too impressed with the Caramel Swirl. I remember the Horchata tasting pretty good. Cake Batter was decent too. (I can't remember if either of those come in the large jug)...

[Nick1021]

I just tried BSN's Snytha 6 in Chocolate

and omg thats the best protein ive ever tasted. better than pro complex and like 10 other kinds i tried.

[trnhrd]

Muscle Milk. It's not hard-core, its just whey, but it has an awesome taste. I love it. The follow-up flavor is 100% Gold Standard by Optimum, it is good as well.

[Deviant Dingo]

I can't remember being too impressed with the Caramel Swirl. I remember the Horchata tasting pretty good. Cake Batter was decent too. (I can't remember if either of those come in the large jug)...

What kind of flavour is the horchata? im not even sure what that is!! haha :p
ill take ur advice onboard, with the nitrocore


EDIT: just had a look at nitrocore, no way thatll ever get into aus, has egg and aminogen

It's like an almond/rice flavor (some type of vanilla flavor if I recall) - it's hard to explain, but it tastes decent!

You can't get Nitro Core due to "egg" and "aminogen"?! You've got to be kidding, that's some BS. I remember reading some threads about not getting some supplements but I can't believe they'd block this sort of protein. I'm sorry!

The ON Strawberry is waaaaaaaaaay to sweet in my opinion. At the gym we make a strawberry/banana shake with the ON Strawberry, white grape juice, frozen strawberries and a banana. How people stomach it is beyond me. Way too sweet for me.

For me it's Syntha 6 cookies and cream.. Best tasting protein ever, and more importantly it gives results.. In a different vein I also like syntrax nectar, a lot easier to chug down after a workout than a milky shake.

[Executivej]

Ill have to give the choc pecan a go then!! Also the ONs nitrocore, what flavours out of the MM large tubs would u recommend? choc caramel swirl is what i was thinking of getting

have you ever had the Choc Banana Crunch or Choc PB flavors? These really take the cake over pecan (And i like that flavor too).

[Executivej]

everyone seems to be saying this, but this being a thread for taste only is it really a musclemilk/syntha-6 beater???

Deviant, I reached out to bb.com because i have a problem with this thread as it does not differentiate between the powders that just taste great (regardless of calories, fat content, etc) and the powders that taste great AND are great low far/low carb powders.

I love Syntha 6, Muscle Milk, and UP 2.0 but all of these have high fat content. Yes i know, you can argue it's good fat all you want but the fact remains if you're not looking to add the extra fat calories and want a powder that tastes great AND is low in fat, these are not the optimal choices. I take 1-2 scoops of these types of powders each day but for the other 2-3 servings of protein powder i take, these don't do it because of the fat.

So, I wish there was a separate thread for "best tasting low fat protein powder" but that doesn't exist...so people should get out of the habit of trying to compare the ON and Dymatizes of the world vs. the Muscle Milk and Sytha 6s of the world.

If people are looking for the low carb/low fat best tasting powder, i recommend trying VPX Zero Card Graham Cracker. Tastes really good and the ingredient profile is incredible.

[sjm017]

As for best tasting i would have to say that Syntha-6 has the best tasting but for the best bang for your buck i would have to say Labrada Pro V-60

[Embrace50]

id say muscle milk is the best tasting but all of the calories are a downside to it

[Minns39]

Just purchased a tub of ON's Chocolate Mint Whey.. God damn this stuff taste so good. It is the best protein powder I have ever had.

[edouble86]

MRI's PRO-NOS Dutch Royal Chocolate....drooooooollll(in homer simpson fashion)

[ccrowley]

by far is , Extreme Power Whey peanut butter flavour...its awsome... iv never really loooked forward to drinkin my shakes becuase of the taste till i got this stuff...it tatses like a treat

[vhart07]

VPX No Carb Graham Cracker.

I've never been one to like anything but my trusty vanilla, but OMG, this VPX stuff is heaven on Earth!

Now, if only I could afford it, lol :rolleyes:

[code3gt]

I've tried quite a few protein powders and most taste better with milk. My problem is the lactose is brutal on my gut. There are a few like BSN Syntha-6, Dymatize ISO-100, and IDS whey isolate that taste great mixed with very cold water.

Dymatize iso-100 has the best ratio of WPI and is priced reasonably well. The taste is very good. 28 gram scoop =24 grams protein, pretty damn awesome. About $11.00 a pound

IDS WPI is priced lower and tastes better 34g scoop 26 grams protein. IDS has a bad rep for some reason. I don't know why though. I have used their products like Waximaze, Mass Tabs and proteins for 3 years now and have had no issues. $8.00 a pound.

BSN Syntha-6 Tastes the Best but has the worst protein ratio 44gram scoop but only 22 grams protein. About $9.00 a pound but you get half as much protein.

For those people that like Optimum , the taste is horrendous when mixed with water and is just ok with milk compared to the aforementioned others. At 32g scoop and 24 g protein, the protein ratio is not as good as Dymatize or IDS. $8.00 a pound is reasonable if you can tolerate the taste.

The per pound costs were based on 5lb tubs (except for BSN). VPX is just plain nasty....

Nice posts mate, very helpfull!! Repped

Nice posts mate, very helpfull!! Repped

thanks Deviant. I'm always looking to try new powders so i'll continue to post my findings as i try them. Hopefully more people read my post and start differentiating between the high and low fat powders... because while i love the VPX Zero Carb Graham Cracker and I think the cost is warranted, it would be nice to see if there's another out there that tastes as good, has as good an ingredient profile (or close to it) and also is a bit cheaper. On and Dymatize and quality, drinkable, and fairly priced but no one is going to argue it's a treat. :)

[nickypeeks]

muscel tech and muscel milk taste good =]

[wheybolic]

Thats why out of over 7000 of products sold on BB.com ON whey is the #1 selling. GOOD CALL

I think what he meant was ON's CnC isn't that great of a flavor to most people.

[NOVA888]

I love Vyo-Tech's Oryx Goat Whey, the chocolate is light, mild and not overly sweet. I have the bubbling tummy issues, so the goat products work best for me. :)

I also love the taste of PVL's Whey Gourmet's, Pina Colada. I'll have this occasionally as a treat.

[xandpop]

has anyone tried ON Pumpkin Pie? is it any good because I love pumpkin pie.

[invega]

Have yet to taste anything better than ATW. No matter what flavor.

[JayZyzz]

I ordered ON whey's double rich chocolate. What do you guys think of the flavor? Also when using 1 scoop, do you fill the scooper completely?

Thanks

[xandpop]

I love ON's chocolate flavor. it is better than all of the other types i have tried. it actually tastes pretty good and it mixes well. i have yet to try it with milk though. But it tastes good with water. i just got in the 16 flavor variety pack so far i have tried the french vanilla, cookies n cream, carmel toffee fudge and all of them were really dissapointing

Hello...Lurker here but I have a question that has been bugging me.

I know there has been a lot of discussion about low-fat, low cal protein mixes...

Can anyone recommend a low fat (lower fat), low cal (reasonably low cal) PRE-MIXED or Ready to Drink protein drink? Resealable a plus but not required...I have the need for some portable ones on occasion and I would like to get a case or two to keep at home.

Let's say that price was not an issue or that flavor does not matter. Any suggestions on ready mixed...Right now when I need a Pre-mixed I am using a Boost drink that is:
8 FL. oz
240 Calories
50 Calories from Fat
6 grams Total Fat
33 grams Carbs
15 grams Protein

Does such an animal exist? Thanks for any suggestions that you can offer...

[inkedfitness]

MRI Pro Nos Mochacino is the real deal. Not only is it almost 100% isolate but it is unbelievably delicious. A little expensive but so worth it. I drink it as a dessert sometimes.

[GSOgymrat]

I've not tried a lot of different protein powders but I like Muscle Max Gourmet Chocolate Fudge Brownie. I mix it with milk and it tastes like chocolate milk to me.

[7ABSOLUT7]

It's fine, you won't love it but it mixes well and is drinkable. You ALWAYS do a heaping scoop, otherwise, you're not getting the profile of the single serving size.

For this thread though, since the search is for the best tasting protein powder, i think you can do better with a few others out there that have similar or better ingrediant profiles (if you can spend a few more bucks).

Curry, they definitely do exist. Labrada makes one that is resealable but it's high in the quote/unquote good fat. I'm a big fan of the ABB Choc PB RTD.. it has 2 grams of fat, 9 grams of carbs, and 50 grams of protein. It's of course not the best quality protein but for on the the go it's excellent...and the taste is very solid.

[EBA84]

The best tasting protein I have ever had is Beverly Internationals Muscle Provider. Tastes just like fudge. Banana Cream from ON is a close second.

Reps im drinking some Muscle provider chocolate right now

[redraider1856]

I know this doesnt have to do with taste, but is there a more "effective" brand out there than the others? Ive tried at least 5 different types of protein, none have been any more effective than the others. Should I spend more money on a more expensive protein when I can just buy the cheapie stuff from Wal-Mart?

ideas???

[slvr94civic]

I buy the "cheape" stuff at wal-mart. Body Fortress. I think it tastes great and have actully stopped buying Optimum Whey just cause of the price difference.

[Dizzydog]

ON is good protein but to say its the best tasting is just silly.

Muscle Milk and BSN Syntha are hands down the best tasting.

Why? Because they have the most fat most likely.

Finally someone who's saying what i've been preaching forever on this board.

[Deviant Dingo]

There is something about muscle milk, i dont think its necessarily the fat, but it almost has a grainular sugary niceness like a milkshake or something would have. Theres only 4g of sugar in the shake, but it tastes like it is made from pure sugar lol! Fuk its nice haha

[llllern]

once again True Protein double dutch choc wpi

[RippedFibers]

MHP Probolic SR- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is my hands down favorite. Look forward to it everyday. Tastes like a thick milkshake!

[Death Head]

muscle milk is very good tasting. I've tried rootbeer float, blueberries and cream and another. Nectar apple ecstacy is the bomb; carribbean cooler is pretty good but i didnt like fuzzy navel. The first kind i ever tried was prolab whey and its just gross. Anyone tried muscle milk's brownie batter yet cause i want some now.

[exnayr]

MmmmmMmmmmm good!

I like Nature's Best "Isopure 'Low Carb' Chocolate". In a cup of milk it tastes just like chocolate milk. I like to put a scoop over some cereal with milk for breakfast (or in oatmeal when it's colder out). Good stuff!

[kingkole02]

I like Pro5 by Nu-Tek (Nutrishop brand) and Pro-Complex by Optimum Nutrition the best for taste.

[CreatineSteve]

Lean Dessert with Milk is godly in my opinion

[Tony_S]
