    Protein Powder?

    Trying to decide on a new protein!
    Option #1: PEscience Select
    Option #2: Vita Muscle Hydropump

    I'm leaning more towards the hydropump just based on Fat-Carbs-Protein. BUT, the pescience select says it's made of two different sources of protein (whey & casein) vs. just whey protein which apparently makes building muscle easier? Semi new to this & want to make sure I'm picking the best quality.

    Thanks!

    For the most part protein is protein. You're not going to notice a difference between different types of protein. Go with whatever fits your budget and macros best.

    This; though I have never had Vita Muscle I know PES is tasty stuff, any flavor is a winner.

    Not familiar with Hydropump.

    As it sounds like you know, Select uses a blend of milk protein isolate, whey protein concentrate 80%, and leucine peptides. I'm a bit hesitant to actually claim that it makes building muscle "easier," per say, but it is optimal as far as absorption and fostering an anabolic environment goes: http://ajpendo.physiology.org/content/303/1/E152.long

    Furthermore, Stack3d has tested Select for protein content. With all the proteins on the market that are amino spiked, and therefore don't have as much protein in the tub as the label indicates, it's nice to have that peace of mind that Select's label is accurate: http://www.stack3d.com/2014/11/pes-s...certified.html

    And if carbs and fat are a concern, 1.5g fat and 1g carbs is pretty freaking good if you ask me.

    OP, out of the two options you've selected I'd recommend Select. I've had a few different flavors of Select and it is a very versatile protein (great for many different cooking recipes, stand-a-lone shakes, etc.).

    You are comparing a Whey vs. a Blend. Neither one will yield better results than the other, as the goal of a protein powder is solely to help you reach your protein/macro goals. I'll usually use a whey product for my protein shakes, and I'll use a blend when I'm going to be cooking with the powder (personal preference).

    Another vote for PEScience Select, you really can't go wrong with it.

    Studied blend, proven purity, amazing taste.
    It's hard for me to recommend a top flavor for you, but thankfully it is also available here on BB in 7-serving trial tubs so you could try several for less.

    PES Select without a doubt. Not only is it a blend as you mentioned, but the flavors are outstanding.
