Best tasting whey protein you've had?

A friend of mine owned a juice bar at a popular 24-hour gym in New Jersey for several years, so I got to try a lot of different proteins on the market. Recently I got a sample from Rich Gaspari at Gaspari Nutrition of a whey protein blend he is testing. I'm not one to drink vanilla ever but the vanilla was really good and the chocolate was easily the best I've ever had.

5lbs. with 75-80 servings
30g Protein, 2g Carbs, 1.5g Fat, 288 Calories
Cross Flow Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate
Ionized Whey, Hydrolyzed Whey
Isolate and Glutamine Peptides
Soy Protein Isolate
Sucralose, No Sugar or Aspartame

What is the best tasting whey protein you've ever had?

Syntrax Nectar


Totally. The more opinions the better! I noticed Nectar is not cheap, are you willing to pay a little more for more grams of protein per serving with a better taste?

I am. ;) I also think that Syntrax Nectar is about as good as it gets, although I currently drink more of their Isomatrix Reloaded chocolate hurricane flavor, since it has an advanced protein blend.

nectar....cept i'm not willing to pay $23 for a bottle that lasts me 4 days....i guess if i took 2 servings a day instead of 9, i might buy it.

Now i'll just take whatever tastes good (not great), thats the cheapest =D

With that said, would you consider paying $40.00 for 75-80 servings of the whey blend listed in my original post at 30g protein/serving? Thats like .50¢ a serving.

Man, I still haven't tried Syntrax nectar yet. I haven't bought it because I am always mixing oil with my shakes, and usually milk as well...

You guys that have used it, would you say that it tastes good enough for say after cutting grass, doing yardwork, etc come inside for a nice, cool, tasty, and refreshing drink?? :)

Cuz I can't see myself using it for any other reason really cuz it would taste horrific with oil/milk in it....or maybe if I switch up my PWO drink/shake/meal protocol I could use it directly after I train occassionaly...

If so, what flavor is best suited for kind of a thirst quencher???

Hey Jergo,

I never liked "fruity" tasting proteins (think strawberry) until I tried Nectar. The fuzzy navel flavor is a lot like orange Tang (with a touch of peach added in), and my wife will drink it as such if I do not hide it. ;) :p I occasionally add a couple teaspoons of Barlean's flax oil, and it does not hurt the flavor. The roadside lemonade flavor is also good. IMO either would be worth considering in your case.

i get 160 servings of alltheywhey for $40, then again its 22g of protein, but still considerablly cheaper for something that taste pretty damn good.

Then again if i wasn't a college student, or if allthewhey didn't taste as good as it does, i'd prolly buy it.

Maybe I'll ask around first to get some samples then...I'm just tired of drinking plain ice-water when coming in for a break when doing yardwork. My parents have the biggest lawn known to man, and there's always something to do.....after moving out I felt bad, so I still help out every weekend usually....used to drink carbonated flavored water, but all that carbonation just gives me heartburn anymore....sucks...

The lemonade is damn good. I don't like fruity proteins much but they nailed this flavor. I even have my wife using it once a day and I could never get her to use any powder.

Personally Beverly's chocolate Muscle Provider is my favorite, but Black Star Labs/ Protein Customizer is a close second and I use a lot of their custom blends.

Muscle milk is the best tasting to me, nectar is good except for the cherry berry flavor is awful. I usually buy the whey concentrate from black star labs though.

You guys have me thinking of trying some Nectar or Milk Muscle next time around.

But damned if I'm not with JonBlaze on this: the economy of allthewhey is hard to beat.

By far Muscle Milk, but All the Whey is pretty good and very cheap at $37.99 for 10 lbs. and I'm also a college student that's overworked and underpaid LOL.

I have tried just about every protien powder out there and I like Champion Nutrition ProScore 100 chocolate flavor. It isn't the most popular, or the cheapest, but it s great protein formula with a superior taste. If you put a full serving into a small bowl and slowly add drops of cold water into it , you can mix it up to a frosting like consistancy. I will guarantee you if you like chocolate frosting you will not be able to tell the difference - it mixes better than any other protein that I have tried other than MRPs which mix great but have added carbs. It is scary. You could sit and eat 1/2 a tub in minutes if you do not have the "will power" to stop. I often mix it like this with dry oatmeal, Fiber One cereal, or brown rice and a 1/2 or full tablespoon of EFA oil for a meal for something different.

Man the best tasting has to be Substance WPI Watermelon. If I raked in the cash, my closet would be full of that ****. But it's expensive :(. Dymatize Orange whey is pretty good and isn't bad with milk or water.

Primaforce Grape Splash. It has something that never bored me. I still have to try a lot of whey flavours... GF pro cherry blast will be the next one.

soy protein isolate....is industrial waste IMO.....Black Star LAbs flavors are the best. Ive heard amazing things about Ergo's IGFpro or whatever, that is next on my list to try

I'd have to go with Nectar. I've tried pretty much every protein powder out their except black star labs(which I'll have to try). Nectar ranking: 1. Roadside Lemonade 2. Fuzzy navel 3. Lemon Iced Tea(new I believe) 4. tie for all other flavors except carribean cooler which I don't recommend unless your really into extra sweet pina colada.

ON Choc mint can not hold a candle to Dymatize.. Dymatize tastes like a dessert in water, and is even better in skim milk..

I just got 25lb of choc from All they whey, becasue i hate only being able to get 5lb incriments of dymatize..

damn this stuff must be pretty good. i dont believe its got all the BCAAs ON has. plus isn't it more expensive? ill still give it a try though.

and 25lbs of protein? good god man, what if you didn't like the way it tasted? would be 25lbs of ... crap.

Oh yeah, I forgot about GROW by biotest. As far as micellar proteins go I don't think anything can touch GROW. They have a new strawberry flavor that's pretty good.

'

I believe both contain the full Amino Proflie. Dymatize is actually produced in the same warehouse as ON stuff.

The only stuff by Dymatize that I cannot handle are the berry flavors. YUCK.....

How's the choco ATW? I haven't tried that yet.

I have tasted it before, they will send a sample of it before ya buy..

cry0smate- It is ok, more subtle flavor then dymatize, i would say more like ON.. Dymatize is a it sweeter, and more choc/mint flavor, mmm mmm mmm

Somethings not adding up with the calories? 30x4=120 2x4=8 1.5x9=14 Thats like 142. 2 scoops would be 284 but then you would cut your servings in half. I dont know if thats what u did?
