Best TASTING Protein Powder

[G.T.H.FAITH]

Im a big fan of Pro-Complex the chocolate is really good but the rocky road is by far the best iv had.

100% whey is pretty much the same as pro-complex however pro-complex has the BCAA and the 100% whey doesnt but iv heard that the double rich chocolate is really good

[vengefulbeast]

Puppy Smoothies, according to a certain someone.

They all have BCAA's Its whey isnt it

[Bellydancer]

I don't know much about the flavors of protein powder, I've bought two and they were awful, one was GNC whey vanilla, I think... however, I do know about cooking ingredients!

If you want to buy cocoa powder to add to protein drinks, don't buy regular baking cocoa powder, which is best for baking brownies or cakes, but rather buy DUTCHED cocoa powder which tastes better in hot chocolate, or used "raw" or unbaked. Regular baking powder tastes more bitter when used in drinks. Neither of them should have any added sugars or sweeteners, they're just different versions (chemically, pH is different) for different uses. According to Cook's Illustrated, blind tastes tests prove that the taste of dutched cocoa powder is far superior to regular baking powder for drinking, and regular baking cocoa powder tastes best in brownies, cookies, cakes, etc.

BTW, thanks for asking this question. I've been wondering what the best tasting powders are. I can always alter the protein content of a shake by using milk, or adding peanut butter, etc, but I can't stand a bad tasting protein powder.

Good tasting food is essential to my quality of life!

[TheFuzz]

I like Optium's ON Whey (Chocolate and Vanillia), Muscle Milk tastes pretty good, and Muscle Tech's Strawberry tastes good (if you can find it on sale).

[P5Mojo]

I recently bought Met-Rx Long Range whey protein (chocolate flavor) from GNC for $12.50 for a 5 lb. tub and I must say its the best tasting whey protein I've tasted despite only trying three other brands (N-Large, Nitro-Tech, ON). Two scoops per serving and after only purchasing it after 2 1/2 weeks, I finished it because it tastes too good! I'll probably end up buying another tub from my local GNC because for $12.50 for a 5 lb. is a deal. As for gains, I feel Nitro-Tech gave me the most bulk and muscle satisfying feeling.. but the taste is horrendous!

12.50 for 5 pounds? Dude that's insane. I hear about people gettin these great deals for protein at their GNC's.. why don't the ones near me ever have any kind of closeout deals? I think my only hope is to buy some off ebay, but the shipping prices aren't always friendly. I just purchased 5 lbs. double rich chocolate ON, and 5 lbs. of the new gold standard rocky road (just to give it a shot). But dammit, that is not enough! I demand cheap whey *..pounds fist*

[Rage_JW]

ON Vanilla Flavor is the Bomb!

[hprelude216]

I love muscle milk but even Optimum Nutritions Double Rich Chocolate is pretty good.

[100M CHAMP]

No i like Vanilla i think thats the best tasting powder.

[gaberox]

I just had myoplex deluxe strawberry flavor and I though it was damn good.
Tasted a little on the fake side as most strawberry flavors will but I give it two thumbs up.

[WeakOne]

I'm relatively new to bodybuilding, and even newer to supplements! I've only tried three protien powers:

ON's 100% Whey Strawberry (my first attempt): I had nothing to compare it to at the time, since this was my first, but now I know this stuff sucks! It was almost enough to make me wretch alone or with water, it was barely tolerable with milk. Best combination I found was to take it with apple juice, then it was adequate.

MRM's Metabolic Whey Strawberry-Banana: This stuff is awesome! (I just got it yesterday). This stuff tastes so good, I could eat it like candy - plain! Taste is vaguely reminiscent of Runtz candies. It tastes great just by itself or in water (the only way I've used it so far).

ON's 100% Casein Vanilla: Pretty good. Not bad in water, but better in milk. Tastes like you're eating vanilla flavored whipped cream, only richer and heavier - almost like cheesecake. Has a slight strange sorta metallic aftertaste. Doesn't mix very easily, though.

Since I have such limited experience, I'd be interested to know how these (especially the last two) compare to other protiens you guys may have tried.

[L_Asso]

GNC whey is way too expensive, atleast where I live.

That's why God let bodybuilding.com be! :D

I'm buying this week the 10Lb Optimum 100% Whey Protein (which I think it's the one you're refering to) from bb.com, here in El Salvador the price tag at GNC is $160! Wanna hear another crazy price tag? Xenadrine-EFX @ $80 WITH Gold Card! $80 for something that hardly burns fat!

My-my I guess that's the reason one GNC store closed here ;).

[floydio]

I think BSN Cinnamon Roll is like eating DESSERT. DE-Licious. And for the price, ON Whey is awesome, chocolate flavor. I cannot get over how much cheaper it is to buy protein over the internet than in the stores.

[ShannonC_77]

[QUOTE=floydio]I think BSN Cinnamon Roll is like eating DESSERT. DE-Licious. QUOTE]

Really, bleh, I ordered that stuff and I don't think I"ll be able to finish it. The only way I can eat it is to mix it with oatmeal and a whole lot of cinnamon to hide the taste, and even then I only use 1/2 scoop.

I bought 10 lbs of ON Whey yesterday for $51 from GNC ;)

[Coolguy123]

Man muscle milk is so dam great......cookies and cream.....I have the chocolate but haven't tried it yet, but probably tasty as well.......

[TheBushidoUnit]

muscle milk is the best i've tried hands down.also anytime something is obnoxiously cheap at a gnc is because its going out of date.starts getting marked down at 8 months til expiration for supplements (including powders).like anything dated for july of this year should be 75% off right now.

[jtroster]

I just bought PVL's Nateral Whey Gourmet in their Vanilla flavour. It has a good taste without that funny sucralose flavour that other powers have - its sweetened with stevia. It also comes in Chocolate malt and Strawberry Banana. I bought single serving samples of those to try.

[KingOfChaos]

Please let us know how the chocolate flavour is. I'm thinking about purchasing it and was wondering how it is. I really like the PVL other flavors so I'm thinking I might like their chocolate flavor more than some other brands. Has anyone ever tried PVL's chocolate and how does it compare to other chocolate brands?

Thanks!

[MR SOLUTION]

best: onwhey. delicious, i like banana and i mix it with a real banana and its like double banana. mmm

[Tate]

Muscle Milk and Optimum Nutrition Chocolate

[jtroster]

I tried my one serving samples of PVL Nateral Whey Gourmet in Real Chocolate Malt and Real Strawberry Banana Smoothie. Both had good taste but Chocolate is the best of the three flavours (See earlier post on the Vanilla flavour). The strawberry banana smelled like the real thing but the taste was blander than the smell.

[Javi]

I've had both ON Optmum Whey in Strawberry and Choc. Mint.

Strawberry was barely tolerable in water, a little better in milk.

Chocolate Milk is decent in water, really, really good in milk.

[oregonpanthers]

Optimum Nutrition Pro-Complex is by far the best protein supplement ever made. It has the most protein, the best types of protein, the most variety of proteins, the highest bcaa content, the highest glutamine content, the most percentage of whey protein isolate, the highest percentate of protein per serving, the best taste, the best mixability and its at a great cost and most importantly, it works! I have yet to find a better protein supplement on the market. Stood my this product for 3 years now and dont plan to switch any time soon! Dont agree then try it for yourself before you knock it!

[butanelord]

Yeah, I was about to give up on ON, but the choc/mint made me a believer!

[hugoshi]

I really like the kind they sell at costco which is sportpharma brand.

I think it mixes smoother and milkier than ON cheap too. 20 bucks for 6 lbs

[Ah_Ha!]

On 100% Whey:

The chocolate mint smells like Andie's chocolate mints (AWESOME), but sure doesn't taste like it...I throw in 1/4 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder (Nestle), 1/2 teaspoon fat free coffee creamer (powder), and 1 Splenda, and it's MUCH better. With those little additions, it tastes just as good as it smells, with WATER no less. Nice and milk chocolate creamy-like, with the hint of mint. It may be even better with milk, but I'm currently on a methane strike :D

Their strawberry isn't good at all. I haven't tried adding anything to it yet. Again, this is with water. I'm sure it's a little better with milk, but I couldn't tell you.

[KAP]

Im a big fan of Muscle Milk's Vanilla Cream
and shockingly, i think GNC's 100% whey Chocolate is pretty darn good too!

[teabagger]

im a huge fan of chocolate methoxy pro

[Morten]

i hate chocolate! and just got 2kg of that stuff :P gotta get vanilla next time.. :D

[signals]

if ur looking for taste, don't get probolic-sr. It's good stuff but tastes disgusting. Bsn cellmass tastes very good, even thought that's not protein. I had this stuff called muscle juice which tasted very good if u put a little chocolate syrup in it.

[patfactorx]

Costco pro-rated chocolate tastes pretty good

[Iron Rain]

I got MRM's low-carb protein powder, creamy chocolate shake flavor, and it's so good, I'm actually getting CRAVINGS for it. Sure beats that nasty GNC "100% Whey" powder.

[ShannonC_77]

Thanks for the advice with the choclate flavors. Has anyone tried syntrax's chocolate flavour? I've heard the vanilla is pretty good and I really like their nectar line....

I just finished a 5 pounder of the chocolate and going to try the vanilla tomorrow. They used to sell strawberry which was the best tasting protein I have ever had, it had real bits of strawberry in it. But I guess they discontinued it; haven't seen it at the local costcos for several months.

[treyman]

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!
dude no question its muscle milk it has to be the best tasting ever! u got to try it ive went from benching 85 to 250 in just 3 and a hlaf months just using muscle milk

[Mastiff]

Primaforce watermelon is a great fruit flavor, for regular vanilla Beverly International is hard to beat. As far as chcolate, muscle milk is not bad...

[Malbolgia]

I'm currently using GF-Pro's Orange Cream, and it is great whether you mix it in milk, water or OJ. Tastes like those 50/50 ice cream bars. They have a bunch of other fruit flavors, I may end up trying them all.

The only draw back at this point is that they don't make anything larger than the 2 lb tub, although I read that they are working on getting the 5 lb tubs out.

[wildog]

I imagine all those different kind of flavors are delicious but it's mostly artificial flavoring and colors. I don't want that. Is there any all-natural protein powders out there (that taste good too) ??

Anything but chocolate flavor. That would make me vomit.

[wildog]

I just went out and grabbed Jay Robb's whey vanilla. It tastes good, very smooth and mixes very easily in water, haven't tried milk yet.

[Madevilz]

Just tried Dymatize Butter Cream Toffee.
Smells good, tastes good, easy mixing.
My favorite Whey as of yet.

Also opened my Orange dreamsicle tub which is so so.

[CanadaBBOY]

Just a warning, Dymatize whey protein gets VERY bad VERY fast.

You get really sick of it and eventually it starts to taste terrible. I've had that with all of them, and most people i know have experience the same thing.

The chocolate dymatize i was able to use for quite a long time, maybe 10-15 pounds straight, but the others i couldn't get through 5lbs.

[Sixpack]

try Dymatize's new ISO whey fuzzy navel good stuff for sure

I"m on my second 5 pound tub of butter toffee and have it everyday post workout, still ain't getting sick of it, in fact, it's one of the things I look forward to most (out of my diet)

Is the dymatize ISO-100 Fuzzy Navel sorta like nectar?

Yes better IMO

[dexterium]

Today was the first day of my bodybuilding diet and so this is the first time that I have had whey. I have not tried any other whey product and therefore I do not know of its taste. However, I am currently having Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein in Vanilla Ice Cream flavour. Let me tell you something right now... honest to god, I feel almost guilty eating this thing... it tastes good lol... like ice cream.. only thing is its good for you haha.

[Abdominator]

I bought 10 lbs of ON Whey yesterday for $51 from GNC ;)

Eh... I guess that's not bad for 10 lbs., but I've found I can get it consistently for a good price with bodybuilding.com.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html

My local gym and bb.com are fairly competitive. My gym owner sells the 5 lbs. containers for $29.00, bb.com sells them for $28.89. When you factor in taxes and shipping, bb.com is a little more expensive, but when my gym owner doesn't have my favorite flavor in stock when I run out, bb.com is where I go. Buying online also helps when you live "out in the Styx" like I do. :D

By the way, the Cookies & Cream flavor of Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey has an awful metallic after tastes. When I finished my first glass, I thought, "Uh... did I just drink Mercury?". I still more than half a container left. I guess the Research & Development group didn't quite get the "Cookie" and "Cream" part down. :)

- Skip :)

You sure that's not just from the water quality out in the "Styxx"? :D Yeah, I agree that the cookies & cream flavor isn't palatable. Perhaps it was an accidental discovery when trying to make a new flavor. If you mix it with milk it's not nearly as bad. However, you'll still need to hold your breath, plug your nose, close your eyes, say three hail marys and pretend it's a different flavor in order to not feel sick afterwards.

- Fletch "Yuck that tastes like crap...oh well box it up and label it as 'rich vanilla crap'" ;)

[Tatsumaru]

I love the way ON cookies and cream whey tastes; only thing that bothers me about the product is the ingredient list. The stuff has added palm oil & palm kernel oil, which blows. Of course I will be finishing it but I fear this is the last time I buy it.

I'll stick to the strawberry, vanilla and chocolate ON flavors.

[Silverback51]

MaxPro or Max Gourmet from Max Muscle.

[nni]

Optimum Nutrition's Any Whey flavorless mixes with anything.

Syntrax Nectar is excellent.

BSL's flavor system is terrible.

[dbdraggin]

I love the way ON cookies and cream whey tastes; only thing that bothers me about the product is the ingredient list. The stuff has added palm oil & palm kernel oil, which blows.

can someone explain to this here rookie whats bad about those two things? i was considering getting a 5lb ON whey c&c from the local store that has it on sale for like 25 bucks... but if its thats bad in comparison to the others then ill just stick to my double choc.

thanks, sorry if ive driven this a little off topic.

[Fletch]

I can pretty much withstand any protein powder and if I had a choice, I wouldn't ever try the C&C flavor again. Stick to the vanilla or the double chocolate.

If you really want to taste for yoursef, purchase the smallest quanity possible. Or buy some of the extra that Skip will be feeding to the cats. ;)

- Fletch "And I agree that Nectar is great stuff"

[beastmodebob]

Muscle Milk and Simply Protein are my favs.

I have to agree with Lats McGee Muscle Milk has an awesome taste. Not only that but usually proteins either taste good with water or milk. This supplement has the ability to be used with both while utilizing the same taste. If you go to GNC at the store it will run you around 32 bucks but if you go to muscledepot.com you can easily get it for 25 including shipping. Good source of protein and it also increases your creatine output. I reccomend the strawberry, vanilla and coffee flavor.

[minicooban]

no doubts the best one is muscle milk,my favorite flavor is banana creme!! try it!!

[patfactorx]

you can always add splenda to any flavor you don't like of generic cheaper powder =op

[Max Protein]

Palm oil and kernel oil are hydrogenated fats. These can't be broken down by the body, and often get deposited into bad places (fat deposits, arteries, etc.).

[dbdraggin]

thanks.

[Don Villuminati]

I just got this chocolate stuff called "Body Fortress". It tastes like friggin choclate milk. I feel like i'm cheating. Really great taste for any whey protien. Especially considering the fact that I got it for $11 at Wal Mart.

Thanks for helping many others!

Dont you think that if the major conern for protein was the taste that many of these companies would be out of a job. while taste is important the most important part is if it works or if it doesnt. if your looking for taste why even us a protein powder... just drink chocolate/vanilla/strawberry shakes mix an egg or two ... many of these GREAT tasting powders are compensating for crappy product which equals crappy results... how else are they going to get you to buy it. if you want results stick to what works and has been proven, not by how good it taste.

[ShannonC_77]

Just wondering if anyone has tried syntrax's matrix in chocolate flavour and how it tasted? I was either thinking of getting that or cytosports complete whey in chocolate or EAS 100% whey in chocolate. what would you recommend?

Thanks!

[wildog]

Bought ON 100% vanilla, (couldn't resist) Wow, this thing is amazing. It tastes like light vanilla ice cream. I'm hooked.

[JCorvette]

I'm really not picky if something tastes the best as long as it works. Cookies and Creme by Beverly is pretty good tasting. Now i use High Power 100%. Started with Vanilla(o.k.), now Chocolate(pretty good so far). And they work! I usually make a shake with some Peanut Butter and fresh Bananas, so if it does taste awful, i really wouldn't know.

[LeanMeanRose]

Optimum Nutrition Chocolate Mint... I'm hooked -- I look forward to drinking these things!

[Fletch]

Optimum Nutrition Chocolate Mint... I'm hooked -- I look forward to drinking these things!

I liked the mint as well, however it's a disappointment that it doesn't mix well with other typical protein shake additives. (ie bananas, juice, fruits, etc.)

Just straight with water or milk, it's excellent.

- Fletch

[ChelNam]

Bought ON 100% vanilla, (couldn't resist) Wow, this thing is amazing. It tastes like light vanilla ice cream. I'm hooked.
You'll lose interest in the taste pretty soon. I have the 5lb tub.

[Sapper41]

Muscle Milk CHocolate Milk

[HellRaiser92]

I've just recently bought ON's 100% Whey Gold Standard in the Rocky Road flavor. I think I've found a new favorite! :cool:

I also bought some BSN Lean Dessert Protein in the cinnamon roll flavor. I bought it to take at night when I go to bed. ;) It smells better than it tastes. When you mix it, it's like ultra thick even with water. 1-10 scale for taste I would give it a 7.5.

[lobo01]

Man, I just tried a sample of Jay Robb's Chocolate Whey Protein, and I'd have to say it ROCK'S!!! I tried the Graham Cracker from VPX and almost puked, then I tried BSN's lean Dessert Protein Cinnamon Roll and Coconut Chocolate Bar, and both those tasted very good... BUT, hands down, Jay Robb's tasted the best... And the more I'm reading aroung the net, the more I'm convinced I should start buying it (even if it's a bit pricey)..

Here's one review I found.

http://www.newstarget.com/001524.html

[NJC03]

I got some double rich chocolate by ON. It tastes just like chocolate milk. I love it!

[mistermuscles]

I liked the mint as well, however it's a disappointment that it doesn't mix well with other typical protein shake additives. (ie bananas, juice, fruits, etc.)

Just straight with water or milk, it's excellent.

- Fletch
I have ON Chocolate Mint, and I think that it is absolutely disgusting. I'm going to have to try some of that Jay Robb's Whey Protein stuff.

[Bluefin995]

The best tasting for me has been Pro-Complex chocolate. I mix it with strawberries a banana 6 ounces of water and two tbl spoons of amino. This is one great tasting combo

[bradford]

Gotta be the Muscle Mile Orange Cream - although the Max Muscle Chocolate is also pretty good.

[stefonroman]

pvl peanut butter chocolate....what a treat....already ordered my second jug

[canine3480]

i have tried every one of the optimum flavors, and i like double rich chocolate, chocolate mint, and strawberry the best. i can't drink milk, so i have to mix my shakes into water. i was a little disapointed by the rocky road. it smells really good, but it just doesn't taste as good as the others. i don't like the cookies & cream because there's a lot of crap in it that i don't want in my system.

[ChipG]

I just got ON double rich chocolate. Tastes good with skim milk. Makes it taste like chocolate milk...I have not tried it with water yet.

[Teegunn]

I just got this chocolate stuff called "Body Fortress". It tastes like friggin choclate milk. I feel like i'm cheating. Really great taste for any whey protien. Especially considering the fact that I got it for $11 at Wal Mart.


You gotta be kidding. I bought one of those "body fortress" protein jugs the other day - and let me say that it was the WORST tasting crap I have ever had - and I have tried many different brands of protein over the years. I spit it out right away and took the jug back to WalMart. No wonder it's so cheap. Crap, just pure crap. BTW, I like Maximum Protein, by Southern Pharm. Optimum is always good too. But Muscle Milk is the king, IMHO. Not just in taste, but also in overall quality. It is a little pricey, but it is sure worth it.

[number1sixerfan]

Muscle milk is damn good and I plan to stick with it in the fall when school starts back.

[hmcguffin]

deff. muscle milk

[An Inconvenient Bro]

I thought everyone understood the simple fact that muscle milk is not a protein powder, does anyone even read labels anymore?

[Stuntdawg]

Seriously, Muscle Milk is definitely not a protein powder. Considering it has 350 calories and 18g's of fat, it really is just 2% chocolate milk with "muscle" substituting the word chocolate. Obviously, it only tastes good because of this high fat content. Really it's nothing more than a glorified weight-gainer.

[Sandys Ripper]

If you are going for just pure (well mostly) protein powder I would have to say ON Mint Chocolate is pretty good. One of the few that I did enjoy through out supplement experimenting. In terms of my regular weight gainer etc... NLarge II tastes rather good, and it takes a lot longer to get sick of in my opinion, almost like a real chocolate shake. From all the carbs and fat probably though.

[HK Connection]

Like - EAS Chocolate and Banana
Tastes like chalk award - Myoplex Strawberry and and EAS Whey protein strawberry

[wildog]

Yeah, his powder is darn good. It mixes very easily and tastes terrific. I'll be ordering the 6 pound bucket soon.

[LFG27]

Designer Whey AbsBerry. The gentleman at GNC says that Next Proteins is going to discontinue their Glycer-lean line though. It was fantastic mixed with Vanilla soy milk and oatmeal.

[DSM18]

Balance ultra filtered Ion-exchange whey protein.

Its healthy and natural... considering people who do weights a LARGE part of their diet is protein powder, its important to get a healty one...

This one has been filtered to eliminate bacteria, impurities from milk etc. has no artificial sweeters, colours, flavours, and very very low in carbs/fat.

Only problem is takes a couple of minutes to mix it into milk. For taste, add "real" honey, banana, cocoa, and linseed oil on top of the protein. Blending it heats up the other ingridients honey/linseed oil, so only blend the banana if u use one.

It takes awesome with fresh made fruit juce like apple/grape, pineapple.

[keninottawa]

I've officially made the switch to isolates, and my supplement dealer recommended me PVL's Isogold (I believe it's only available in Canada). I have the raspberry flavour, and I dare say that it's like drinking dessert. The damn stuff has real pieces of freeze-dried raspberry in it.

I like my Whey PVL Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein and Matrix 5.0.. I don't like Nitro Tech.. BLAH!!!

[Malbolgia]

I've tried 2 different flavors by GF-Pro, and they have both been absolutely awesome. Orange Cream and Cherry Blast so far.

Check out this link to an article on BB.com, they did a survey on a bunch of different proteins

[vitacube02]

I am bias but Choc. VITAPRO every day has not worn me down and keeps me lean at 205 and 7%. Also like the Muscle Milk. Romanowski turned me on to that one.

[Teegunn]

I thought everyone understood the simple fact that muscle milk is not a protein powder, does anyone even read labels anymore?


Of course it has protein and can be considered a protein powder. It also has many other good things in it too, which is why you are most likely saying it isn't a protein powder. Do you consider it a weight gainer or MRP then because it doesn't really fit into those categories either??

[Gator15]

i was skeptical at first but def ON's 100% whey choc. many will agree

[101lifts2]

I used Designer Whey Natural flavor for years...then I switched to Isopoure about a year ago. Every flavor Isopure makes tastes great and the **** mixes very well.

My question is..l really hate taking flavored protein mix as all that added artifical crap is not needed. While I don't mind the taste of the natural Designer whey, is there any other protein on the market that makes a no flavor protein?

[An Inconvenient Bro]

it is an MRP. to be considered a protein powder yet only contain 43-51% protein is really pushing boundaries don't you think? Did anyone call the original Met-RX a protein powder? No, they called it a MRP.

I tried Muscle Milk Chocolate Milk flavor this weekend and was very impressed. The sales guy at the local shop said it reminds him of Nestle Chocolate milk, and he was right. 2 scoops + 12oz milk makes it taste almost like the Nestle Chocolate that I remember as a kid. There wasn't a strong aftertaste, nor did it clump in my shaker bottle (which the salesman threw in for free just for trying Muscle Milk).

I'm not really a huge fan of chocolate flavor drinks, but this Muscle Milk, I have to refrain from drinking every 3 hours or else I can kiss my wallet goodbye. The local 24hour Fitness had them on sale for $19.99 a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm kicking myself for not stocking up.

[Need 2Whey more]

This one is easy but I don't know if you guys carry is Stateside.

PVL, Whey Gold, Vanilla Ice Cream. It's a company out of British Columbia Canada and my god is it good! They claim to have the highest quality Whey on the planet (don't they all..lol) but it does actually taste like a Vanilla Ice Cream shake. It's also lactose free which is awesome because most others Whey's give me nasty gas..lol. I wish BB.com had it because it's not cheap in the stores and I would definately order it from you guys. Cheers


Your right on that one I have the PVL Vanilla ice cream. Best tasting protein powder around orange creamsicle is the best though out of the chocolate,vanilla, orange creamsicle. Add half orange juice half water and man its a treat to drink. There the same company that makes whey gourmet protein powder, if you like the vanilla you'll love their whey gourmet powder. My g/f bought the raspberry flavour, it tastes like juice! It reminded me of raspberry jello.

BTW where do you buy your protein from? I live in Toronto and buy mine at SND on yonge st. Go to the website to see if you can get it cheaper there.
snd canada is the name of the web page add the .com to end of it.

I have to admit I went to Costco about 2 weeks ago and EAS was selling their 6lb protein powder for under $40. I thought I'll give it a try. Its a good chocolate taste, good for the price and it had some good protein in it. I believe its 22g per scoop.

[Coffee]

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!

NxCare's ISO XP, Vanilla Explosion. (mixed with Milk)

[An Inconvenient Bro]

I know we drink this stuff daily so taste is an important factor, but when taste comes above all else - at the absolute expense of even bothering to look at the label / ingredients, or even care about them if you do look, I then have to question if this is a sport you are suited for.

Easy for you to say..........your flavorings could make beach sand taste delicious. :) I do agree though, there is a lot of junk out there that "tastes good" but then again, so does chocolate cake........doesn't make it good for you. Great flavor is just an added benefit.

[bubba g]

Bioplex very berry. tastes like strawberries, and raspberries mixed together. I look forward to drinking it every day...

[dbdraggin]

I've seen alot of folks arent happy with the choc mint whey from ON. You guys might wanna consider just getting mint extract and just adding it to regular choc whey. i myself do it and love it, havent mixed it with water yet only milk, but i think it tastes phenominal with 1/2 capfull of extract with one scoop of ON and 8oz milk. kinda like an andes mint or peppermint patty.

just an idea, sorry if this is kinda off topic.

[wwwalt]

Tried Ultimate Nutrition Rasberry Whey for a change of pace. Wow I'm impressed it mixes real easy but best of all it's dam tasty. Not sweet and not too strong flavored. I can drink this stuff all day long!

[trace]

Biochem's "Ultimate Protein System" Whey in the chocolate flavor tastes just like cocoa powder with no chalky taste at all. Very nice.

[irongod]

[Herbalizer]

I just bought the RoadSide Lemonade. I've heard and read so many good things about it, can't wait to use it.

No clumping, no bad after taste and a very pure form of Whey Protein.

[101lifts2]

all the whey, nitrowhey, optimum 100% any whey

ON's 100% any whey doesn't list any BCAA's like the ON's reg. 100% whey, nor does it list any glutamine. I'm thinking that is out.

Who makes all the whey and nitrowhey?

[Dominik]

(ON) Optimum 100% Whey Chocolate flavor

Tastes good, mixes well w/ skim milk or water, digests comfortably, and most importantly gets results.

I tried Strawberry once and it tasted pretty toxic so I'll be sticking with the Double Rich Chocolate which I like a lot.

The bottom line is since all the popular brands are pretty similar in specs, it pretty much comes down to what tastes right for you otherwise it's a total waste of money because you won't be in a hurry to drink enough of it to see any benefits.

[tme]

I'm using Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Vanilla flavor. I prefer using grape juice instead of milk for my post-workout shake. The problem I'm having is that when I mix the powder with juice in the blender it foams up quite a lot expanding to almost double the original size. Hasn't been very easy to drink.

Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas to work around or solve this? Maybe with milk it doesn't matter as much and results in a nice milkshake.

[Bleekk]

Max's Whey protein isolate, Tastes like vanilla somehow, not the best thing to drink when taste comes first but for a protein its not bad

[Airbag]

Dave Draper's Bomber Blend - EXCELLENT stuff - whey and casein with some aminos - but not a MRP - more like "enhanced" protein. Delicious. Mixes well. The stuff is truly awesome:

Chocolate flavor with water or low-fat milk in the blender comes out great. It's hard to go wrong with the the chocolate one so give it a try before switching to something else--you might like it a lot. My only complaint with Optimum is it's imported here from the US so it costs more than the local stuff but it's been worth it.

[MCWTRAINER]

All the Muscle Milk protein products are good as well as Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey. The only 100% Whey shake that I didn't like was the Cookies and Cream. It about made me throw up...

haha, thanks so much for the tip. Yah, I was sorta thinking I probably wouldn't like it after reading some of the posts but thought I might try. I think i'm going to try the new syntrax chocolate flavor though (I was going to try ON chocolate) or else the PVL milk chocolate or chocolate mousse (I wonder what the difference between those two would be?) . I really like the nectar so I'm sure this would probably be a good product as well.

Thanks again for the advice!!!

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Strawberry...

holy damn this stuff is the best ive ever had. you need at least 8 oz of liquid to mix fully, but it tastes great. usually you can still smell and taste the protein, which makes me want to throw up, but with this you cant.
5 out of 5 stars.

Plus its also lactose free, great cause others give me gas.

[awanderlust]

ON Natural vanilla is my favorite. Its creamy and sweet, almost like melted ice cream. Its a huge improvement over the normal ON in my opinion, in fact I look forward to eating the small chunks that float in it because I’m to lazy to put it in a blender.

Click on ABOUT ON, then click on MAILING LIST. Then just fill it out and put down what you want. I do it a couple times a month just to get free stuff.

[sandow21]

i've heard that biotest grow was great tasting product but unfortunately they have discontinued it, but they still might make Grow Lo-Carb. The original Grow is hard to find but u can still find it at some places. but my favorite is still the original, designer whey(strawberry). also products that have milk protein isolate or concentrate seem to taste better than whey's. These powders are little thicker and have better texture. which is why muscle milk tastes so good, its basically flavored milk.

[SwoleOne]

I ordered some Substance WPI Grape and it tasted very good, I was delightfully suprised. I am now waiting for my Juicy Watermelon, which I am very excited about getting.

You are correct my friend...Best tasting stuff i have had... watermelon taste like a watermelon jolly rancher...there both awesome

[NebraskaBeef319]

honestly, after much review, I have to say that BSN's Cinnamon Roll Lean Dessert Protein in now my #1. The first couple tastes were a little weird, but DAMN it tastes so good now.... but it's no Muscle Milk Cookies n Cream, that's for sure

[lolliepop]

SCITEC - White Choc., strawberry with real strawberry pieces, tastes like Nestle Quick strawberry milk!!!! I think Diesal250(Sorry if I didn't spell that right) was asking. Good stuff!

[smartnbig]

I liked Muscle Milk but dislike the large amounts of FAT and CALORIES, (i'm cutting) but I LOOVVVE ON's Chocolate, DAAMMMN it's tasty.

[behellit]

If somebody can answer what is the best product of Testosterone I would really appreciate , and also if somebody knows anything about Novedex xt and Vitrix both novedex xt and vitrix are made by nutrex i believe so if somebody can help me to better understand those 2 product which one does what and which one of these is better and also the first one i mentioned testosterone what is the best product they have. If anybody can help out that would be great , tx.

[Apollo0904]

i personally like champion nutrition's protein products ... they seem to have mastered the chocolate flavor IMHO ... the ultimate whey and ultramet MRP are what i keep going back to for my "all purpose" daily protein shakes.

bsn makes great tasting and unique protein that i find works better when added to other foods rather than as a shake.

for example, i have an aversion to cottage cheese, yet i found a way to not only choke it down, but actually look forward to eating it by using bsn.

1 cup fat free cottage cheese
1/2 cup mixed frozen berries
1 1/2 scoop bsn banana nut bread protein powder
1 packet splenda

[Getsum]

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Strawberry for me as well.

[ShannonC_77]

[David77]

Beverly International Muscle Provider chocolate flavor is very good. Easily beats ON chocolate. Haven't tried many different brands. MM cookies and cream is awesome but can't be considered a protein powder.

[hbs]

I just tried this new protein from this dude at a gym sampling stuff and damn is it good. It actually had little chocolate chips in it at the end, what a bonus when your dieting. It was some new company called Allmax the stuff was called Isoflex.

Damn, I've tried everything and never tasted such a wicked clean protein. Honestly nestly quick tastes good but this stuff only had 1 carb! You gotta try this stuff, I actually grabbed some from the guy that day. They actually had a damn tasty bar also! My vote goes to this Isoflex !

[derrick2518]

the best tasting protein powder i tried was pro blend55 alpine vanilla

[Ineffable]

I'm really picky. Cytodyne CytoPro, any flavor, especillay strawberry with skim milk.

Beverly International proteins in vanilla only. Their chocolate is horrible.

I have a tub of ON's chocolate mint here. It's pretty good, not as special as everyone says though. It's just what you'd expect. I like it though. But I don't look forward to it like I used to look forward to my Dymatize elite whey butter cream toffee !

Not the most well known, but absolutely my fave. Whey and Egg White, all flavors are excellent. Added bonus for those who care, no artificial sweeteners, just stevia.

i gotta say muscle milk, doesnt really matter which one, they are all great! But I love the Blueberries and Cream, it tastes like a slice of blueberry cheesecake and some vanilla ice cream blended together! Mmmmm

[Sethva]

Ok I've been reading this thread for a bit and thought I'd throw in my few cents...

As far as ON..
a) Vanilla is ok with milk
b) choc is decent with milk
c) choc/mint is decent with milk
All above I can only do with milk, not water. But when I tried stirring the mint/choc instead of shaking it, it improved the taste by 10 fold. Just like a nice glass of choc milk.

Now I'm on isopure apple/melon, and it has to be ice cold in order for me to drink it, but when its cold, the stuff is pretty good. Actually look forward to drinking it. And it has cut my calories down a ton bc I dont take it with milk, just ice cold water.

[agustuss]

Two thumbs up for ON's 100% whey

[RuggedRon13]

I'd have to go with True protein's premium flavors...great stuff.

Just got a nice bonus at work, so I dropped $500 on protein powders with BB.com (Hey, you guys need to offer a discount plan to your frequent flyers! I can't use another water/shaker bottle!) Here's what I found out. PrimaForce Juicy Watermelon and Grape Splash are the two best. If you like milky tasting stuff, I love Prolab Isolate Strawberry, all of the Supreme Wheys from Dymatize....I especially like the Root Beer Float and the Butter Cream Toffee. Wish they made a Coca-Cola and Ginger Ale that I could mix with milk! Yum! All of the Syntrax products are very good. They have two new ones out: Natural Peach and Tealicious. Advertised as "all natural" at over $32 for two pounds! The thing that makes them "natural" is that they don't use Splenda or Equal as sweeteners. Instead you get stevia leaf. Has a weird taste. Give me the Splenda. Much cheaper too. The Scitec Protein Delites are all tastey. They give you little bits of chocolate or freeze-dried fruits to enhance the flavor. Silly, but if you like spoiling yourself, why not? Stay away from the Fruitblast line. Initial taste is good, then all of a sudden its like you stuck your nose in the cow's ass! Can't figure that one out. ON is pretty weak, despite wide popularity. Isopure is good and it comes in packages that you can carry with you. Beverly tastes a little gritty to me. If I have missed anything, PM me.....I have probably tried it. My boyfiend teases me that I have nice pecs, but they cost me about $10,000 in supps! He probably isn't far off of the mark! Peace.

Wow, that's a lot of protein powder! How does the syntrax natural peach compare with the fuzzy navel? I would think it would sorta be similar?

[sword_]

Anyone tried Ergopharm GF Pro? I've been meaning to try it...

[BOMARKSF]

Both the Natural Peach and Fuzzy Navel products by Syntrax have a very strong and pleasant peach flavor. The Navel version has the added kick of orange juice as well. I like them both. Like I said (see above) the Natural has a fancy sweetening mechanism in place, whereas the other products use either Equal (aspartame) or Splenda. I am starting to like Splenda products much more these days. I mixed the Natural Peach today with skim milk and it was orgasmic! Like a peaches and cream sundae! ErgoPharm is excellent, I like the cherry and blueberry flavors best.

[metal2469]

Has anyone else tried BSN banana nut flavour? I've tried their cinnamon roll and it's not to bad, I wonder how this one is.

it's pretty good, the cinnamon roll is my favorite though... not a fan of the choco-coconut one, and the banana pudding flavor is slowly growing on me - it's a bit sweet, and the banana imitation is a little off, but it's not horrifyingly disgusting

[bo78]

The best tasting protein is MuscleMilk by far.

[beavesmx44]

muscle milk is a weight gainer/meal replacement, not a protien powder per se.

ON 100% Whey Protein powder mmm double chocolate

[fiftyhann]

Optimum 100% all the way. Double chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream are the best. Try 2 scoops vanilla ice cream powder w/ milk, ice, and a banana. Mmmm, too good to be a protein shake!

[shaMu]

optimum chocolate was euuuuuuuuw,
vanilla was :), vanilla ice cream....hahhaha

does dymatize vanilla taste like optimum?
i was thinking about trying some dymatize out.

[HateNYourBlood]

Best tasting protein powder, I'd have to say is banana-cream by cytogainer.

[MiLight]

primaforce substance wpi juciy watermelon. its awesome!

[skeletore84]

i like optimum 100% whey vanilla icecream

[lamby]

biotest low carb grow vanilla

[xjae]

Strawberry Cream Myoplex mixed with Red Vitamin water with Ice and a Banana. I guarantee this will be one of the best protein shakes you'll ever taste.

No offense to ON Whey but I got Double Rich Chocolate AND Cookies N Cream and both tastes like ****.

[fallINTOmyTRAPS]

ON 100% whey gold standard rocky road is the road to take these days , awesome stuff

[abar]

Indeed. My bud at college had that Rocky Road stuff, it was delishious.

[bellisima]

i like muscle milk but now im using syntrax matrix- chocolate and i love it!!!!!
its a mix of whey and casein ,it mixes great and the price is excellent.

[ffloyd]

Muscle Milk is the most palatable protein powder I have tried. I would say it is also the fattiest I have tried. I am satisfied with that and my Pro Performance Ultra Whey. I mix 'em up.

[salmon sausage]

IDS QUALITY WHEY>> TRY VANILLA TASTE LIKE ICE CREME>>

the suasage

[YoungGun2015]

Ive tasted probably 20 different kinds of protein powders. And gagged through almost all of them. Its usually the generic stuff that makes you choke, GNC Brand, Vitamin World Brand, or even Designer Whey. But the brand that Ive used for the past couple of years and never found myself grow tired of is the OptimumNutrition 100% Whey. As far as Whey protein, thats the way to go. As far as Weightgainer protein, I found that the Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass tastes the best. And for casein protein, I love Nitrotech Nighttime. Ive tried the Probolic SR and it was ok, and Ive tried the ON's version, but still I think the best casein is MuscleTech's brand.

If anyone gives a damn, I personally prefer the Chocolate and Strawberry flavors. My advise is to NEVER get vanilla. No matter how good the brands version of chocolate or strawberry taste, vanilla taste like friggen chalk.

[ShannonC_77]

Just tried syntrax's new chocolate essence protein. It's pretty good, definetly one of the better tasting chocolate protein powders I've tried especially compared to the tub of EAS I bought last month..., but I'd say I'm still on the hunt for something better.

[ffloyd]

Should have been PP MegaWhey

[Denver Ice]

Mega milk cookies N' cream
Pro blend 55 vanilla
VPX micellean

[Coke1_pepsi0]

The worst tasting protein powder is NATURADE (since 1926). I bought the 100% whey protein booster vanilla flavor and it is really really hard to drink. I mixed it up with mango juice and still couldn't drink it. Added sugar and mixed it with water..same puke taste. I just wanna grow big man.

[ShannonC_77]

Just got my first tub of watermelon splash substance today. This is definetly one of the best protein powders I've tried in a long time. Mixes without a problem and reminds me of some of the nectar flavors only not as sweet. I would definetly recommend it!

[Arnold_sCaddie]

I think Muscle Milk taste the best by far. I've tried EAS, Body Fortress, and Vitmain World brand. Muscle Milk is filling and mixes easily.

[Atreyused]

Optimum Nutrition - Chocolate! or Syntrax Nectar (pick your luck with the flavors).

Although in my opinion there are no real great tasting protein powders, because if there was then we would all be taking the same one!

[Hypertauren]

Higher Power Whey Protein (Chocolate) with Milk taste great, like real chocolate milk and the powder only has 2g of sugar.

With water...eh its ok...

There are many GREAT tasting powders (Substance, GF-Pro, BSL) but people's tastes differ. Not everyone likes grape, but that doesn't mean Substance WPI Grape isn't great tasting.

[Diceman989]

Personally I cant stand substance but mabye the new Choc and Vanilla will be good. Now I love all the whey mint chocolate. Wow add that in some grape nuts and you have a cookies and mint breakfast cereal with high protein.

I am sure the Optimum CM flavor would be the same but have not tried it.

[freakie]

Muscle Milk is great. However, any protein drink with as much fat as a serving of Ben & Jerry's should taste good. ;)

[Jrzymuscle]

I disagree. True, it's a redundant thread, but there's no real reason to lock it as it is only taking up a tiny chunk of an enormous server.

Wrong Thread, but I'd say HP's whey is far better-price, taste, and quality.

I agree, yah, maybe people are saying the same brands, but this helps others see how many people like a particular brand, just because one guy says this protein powder is great doesn't necessarily mean I'll like it, but if 100 people say it is, there is a much better chance.

[Paumen]

Muscle milk is so good I vather drink it over pop.

[andy141]

yeh muscle milk choc mint tastes great, mixed with dymatize choc mint (whey) tastes great too.

[Jwillbc55]

1 scoop Rocky Road Muscle Milk
1 scoop ON Gold Standard Rocky Road
12 oz. Milk

thats the stuff right there

[Hulk7280]

just tried bev international cookies and cream and it doesnt ever compare to ON.. i wish i didnt waste my money on it

[elempe]

I just joined this site today. I have a question and am not sure where to post it. Why does my protein powder container say to drink it immediately after mixing? I would like to mix it and bring it along with me to drink later but am concerned that it says to drink immediately. Any suggestions? If this is the wrong place to post this I am sorry. Thanks!

the formulation becomes unstable......it goes bad quickly

making the Protein useless....after about an hour or two

so drink it asap........bring the powder with U ...if the container is too bulky


Back to the subject


OPtimum Nutrition rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vanilla

[shaMu]

i dont think that happens, i gotta do some research on that cuz i doubt it does.

[CPT4U]

ultimate nutrition--strawberry is best..ive tried many protein powders and this one i cant actually can stand with water

[tintinet]

PVL Chocolate Peanut Butter still my #1 overall- 5 stars- Sometimes orgasmic; never unpalatable.

Not bad: Cyclosport Complete Whey Cookies n' Cream- A decent c n' c flavor. Not overwhelming, perhaps a mild aftertaste... 4.5 stars

Dynamatize Elite Whey Butter Cream Toffee- Interesting different and strong, sweet flavor, but, for me, a bit much (I tend to become slightly sick of the taste with time).- 4 stars.

[shaMu]

Man if PVL wasnt so damn expensive i'd try them all out.

PVL is like ON with better flavors IMO. nothin special lol.

Q. I consume about 5 VP2 shakes a day. I have been premixing them with water in the morning into a single container and drinking it gradually throughout the day. Does the premixing with water change or affect the quality of the protein? If not, would premixing the protein with water and storing it for a week affect the protein?



A: I'm not crazy about premixing supplements. There are some types of supplements that it is absolutely forbidden to put them in a liquid for extended periods of time. Creatine is certainly one of these supplements. Glutamine is another. Shakes with added vitamins and minerals should not be premixed for very long before drinking either.
VP2 Whey Isolate is a hydrolyzed whey isolate that is produced in a very unique and specific manner. It's comprised completely of native protein fractions that are not adulterated with other nutrients. This being the case there should not be a problem premixing VP2 the way you are doing it. I wouldn't however, recommend keeping it in solution much longer than one day at a time before drinking it. I can't say that there would be a problem for sure but I also can't, with all certainty, say there would not be a problem.

VP2 is the most effective protein available for delivering muscle building nitrogen. It also provides certain functional properties not available in any other protein. To date no research has been performed on its extended stability in a liquid. Because of the lack of research in this area it can only be advised to limit its extended stay in liquid to hours and not days.

Dude, ain't the thread topic "Best TASTING" protein?

[Clayton South]

I like the ProV60 vanilla ice cream flavor.

-Clayton South

[patfactorx]

telling you guys. I just tried the Vanilla Pro-Rated from Costco. I think the Pro-Rated are the best. The chocolate being the best tasting.

[TheJuice]

Optimum nutrition Chocolate Mint tastes like a girl scout cookie, and it's cheap...

But the best by far is Muscle Milk Banana creme

[PALACE_GUARD]

Muscle milk! Nothing compares!
