Currently tryin to stay the same bodyfat and put on a quality pound or two. Diet is 4 shakes/4 clean meals, alternating 4 low carb/higher fats with a refeed of 1 day of lots of low GI carbs. 2 days lifting, 1 day off one muscle group a workout-pretty basic. Cardio 3x/week low intensity.

DYA Pro Peptide

Pro Peptide
Supplement Facts:

Serving Size: 2 Scoops (65g)
Servings Per Container: 14

Amount Per Serving:

Calories: 230
Calories from Fat: 25
Total Fat: 3g
Saturated Fat: 1g
Cholesterol: 45mg
Sodium: 350mg
Potassium: 350mg
Total Carbohydrates: 6g
Dietary Fiber: 3g
Sugars: 1g
Protein: 45g
Vitamin A: 0%
Vitamin C: 0%
Calcium: 600mg
Iron: 0.9mg
Phosphorus: 420 mg
Magnesium: 4mg

Ingredients:
ProPeptide Proprietary Advanced Protein Blend (Milk Protein cultured with bifidus, acidophilus, and yogurt organisms, Whey Protein from High Fraction Concentrate and Isolate, Peptide Bonded Glutamine, Egg White, Hydrolyzed Whey Protein), Dutch Process Cocoa, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Proprietary Metabolic Fat Blend (Medium Chain Triglycerides, Lecithin), Cellulose Gum, Sodium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Aspartame, Acesulfame Potassium.



Quality: When you talk about underappreciate products, this really has to top my list. First of all, you have a complete spectrum of protein sources from micellar caseins, isolates/concentrates, hydrolyzed whey, egg whites, and peptide bonded glutamine. I also like the Medium Chain Triglicyrides. Great Protein/Carb Ratio for low carb dieting as well. Top notch. 8.5/10

Taste: From what I've heard, they've revamped their tasteline. That would make sense, since a few years ago when I first tried it I wasn't too impressed; however, recently I enjoyed this product alot better. Vanilla was alot better than the chocolate; however, I'm not sure if this is simply my personal bias against chocolate after the years of downing 5 ON Choc Mint shakes a day or not. Pretty solid, although certainly nothing mind blowing. Nice non chalky vanilla flavor. 7/10

Mixability: Horrid mixability-you need a blender
2/10

Texture: Comes out pretty thick, as do all micellar casein based products which is something I enjoy.
8/10

Price: 22.99-29.99 for 2lbs. Average, maybe a little on the pricey side.
6/10

Overall: Would recommend. Above average product with a great nutrient profile.
8/10

No love

No love for Champions Pure Whey Protein Stack... Try the banana or mochachino... Youll be in love, I swear. I tried 10 of the products you mentioned and Champions Pure whey stack was best bang for the buck. I was actually pissed for going through 20 different protein powders till I bought it.

Beverly International Muscle Provider, Vanilla

Supplement Facts:

Serving Size: 1 Scoop
Servings Per Container: 45

Amount Per Serving:

Calories: 80
Calories from Fat: 10

Total Fat 1 g 2%
Saturated Fat 0.5 g 3%
Cholesterol 25 mg 8%
Sodium 70 mg 3%
Potassium 120 mg 3%
Total Carbohydrates 2 g 1%
Dietary Fibers 0 g 0%
Sugars 0 g
Protein 16 g 30%

Vitamins per Serving:
Serving Size: 21 grams
Vitamin A 0%
Vitamin C 0%
Calcium 6%
Iron 4%

Ingredients:
Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate, Hydrolyzed Whey Protein, Whey Protein Concentrate, Lactalbumin, Egg White), Natural and Artificial Flavors, Maltodextrin, Soy Lecithin, Malic Acid, Dipotassium Phosphate, Sucralose.

Quality: As I'm sure you're all well aware of, Beverly Int. is the cream of the crop when it comes to ingredients and quality. This is a really great blend of proteins here, and you know you can trust them to actually have their label represent what's in their product(which alot of other supp companies don't...). Hydrolyzed whey and isolates as their top ingredients, top notch.
9/10

Taste: Love this stuff: It's a bit chalky and has a thick consistency, but it's really appealing to me for some reason. Makes pretty thick shakes, amazing in oatmeal.
8/10

Mixability: Haven't tried it w/o a blender yet, although dissolving it in the water with my oatmeal was pretty easy with a spoon.

Price: Not gonna lie, 38.25 for 2lbs. is pretty ridiculous considering u can get a 5 pounder isolate for close to that price. One thing to remember though is that if you really want the best you gottta pay for it: In my opinion its worth it-why spend all your time working so hard to be shortchanged by supp companies lyinig about their ingredients?
5/10

Overall: My new favorite protein powder, going to make this a staple in my routine.
9/10
