    Question I really like Quest Protein, similar blend or cheaper source?

    For a long while I was using myprotein because it's damn near dirt cheap when it goes on sale. The problem is I've recently learned you get what you pay for.

    The quest protein is a blend of different proteins (milk, whey, + casein iirc), blends very well, the flavors are good, and has a good calories vs protein ratio (less sugar/filler)

    Then I went back to myprotein, and ugh. I am forcing myself to use it.

    I rarely, if ever, see quest protein go on sale. Are there other brands that are comparable? Even if they aren't cheaper, maybe they go on sale from time to time?

    Thanks for the recommendations on where to get quest cheaper, or quest alternatives that are similar.

    Do you drink quest protein? I remember a long time ago when I used it, it was very thick.

    But as for the replacement with something WAY cleaner would be Nutrabio Muscle Matrix, no fillers or excipients, pure clean protein.

    I have some questions - 'cleaner'? what constitutes a 'clean' protein? what makes this 'way cleaner' than the protein from MyProtein? Are you suggesting they're using dirty or unclean ingredients?

    Myprotein is perhaps the only protein I've tried that requires MUCH less liquid. So keep that in mind

    One, quest is prop blend...so the actual ratio of Isolate, Casein, Milk protein are unknown.

    Two, there are different values to protein sources. WPI 80, WPI 90 for examples and the same in concentrates (Which can go much lower WPC35 - WPC80). Not all companies will use the highest form, due to many factors...price is often the main one. Now quest doesn't tell what form they use.

    In ours you see it on the label WPI90 and you also see how the much of that protein actually yields for use.

    I'm not saying anything is wrong with Myprotein, which he was talking about Quest. But labels tell the tale.

    And not to mention the fillers other companies will throw in to boost up flavors and serving size.

    If budget is a main priority, then Nitrotech Gold is one of few leading brands that are participating in the July 25% off sale. Chocolate, Dulce de Leche (sweet), and Van Funnel Cake (highly recommend with cinnamon) are my favorites

    This is a good suggestion. Go Funnel Cake. If you mix it with chocolate milk it almost tastes like a chocolate frosted doughnut.

    Why don’t you take a look at our Impact protein blend or The Whey, both of these blend very well and are much better tasting than a standard whey.

    Quest did a pretty good job on their protein IMO

    Some solid ones on the same level of quality

    MAN Sports - Iso-Protein/Clean Whey - Their Clean Whey Unicorn Milk is a very good strawberry more milkshake than Quest's Strawberry but it's pretty good
    Animal Whey
    SAN Titanium Whey Banana Coconut & Tropical Berry
    Xtreme Formulations Ultra Peptide Whey Arctic Lemonade

    https://www.bodybuilding.com/store/c...d=CLABS4630151
    Controlled Labs - ProMORE All 3 flavors very good but the Spice Cake ( Snickerdoodle ) & Orange Cream are my favorites

    Care to give a real reason?

    Their ingredient panel for Chocolate Milkshake

    Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate, Micellar Casein, Milk Protein Isolate), Cocoa, Natural Flavors, Contains less than 2% of the following: Sunflower Lecithin, Xanthan Gum, Cellulose Gum, Steviol Glycosides (Stevia), Salt, Sucralose.
    Are you simply opposed to stevia? or sucralose? or is it the sunflower lecithin ( emulsifier ) or Xanthan Gum/Cellulose Gum ( natural thickening agents )

    So I am confused at why you think its "Crap"?

    PES has some pretty outstanding flavors, it doesn't mix as thick but it can go on sale and especially if your an "insider."
