PES Select Protein.
100%

Read their write-up on their website or nutraplanet. Quality lean powder. Flavouring is phenomenal as well; pick your poison, Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, or Snickerdoodle.

ON makes it?? I'm all over that

 

[money0351]

No but in all seriousness any protein is going to be about 150 calories per scoop so find something that fits your 1.budget 2.macros and 3.is palatable. Personally oxyelite protein, PES select, and CL pronom are my go to blends

Cellucor makes some tasty stuff.

 

[irowland1994]

Price isn't a big issue for me i'm just trying to find a protein low in carbs and fats and doesn't taste like ****

 

[irowland1994]

i usually stuck with allmax nutrition isoflex but im getting tired of it

 

[Magdalena]

Cellucor or gold standard(on) both offer what u r looking for....

Select protein has the added benefit of a blend (increased protein synthesis) from arguably the two best protein sources (MPI+WPC) plus leucine peptides to help spare muscle. It also tastes amazing and will satisfy cravings on a cut, while also keeping you full due to slower gastric emptying than a pure whey

 

[aaronuconn]

I've personally been using a blend + leucine post-workout.

 

[Young Gotti]

I don't tend to switch proteins for a cut, I just don't use a weight gainer type product. However I'd go with Isotean, straight whey isolate.

 

[bolt10]

Select would meet your criteria (great taste, low carb/fat).

I would note that specific protein powder isn't going to make or break a cut (that will be overall nutrition and training), but if you are going to go with something quality PES Select would be a great option.

Amazing profile, no creamers or fillers, unreal taste!

Either pes is really good or everyone's getting paid to suggest it but I'm check it out

 

[Driven2lift]

I can't even bring myself to buy other powders now... Saw a good deal on MP protein which I always used once upon a time. After reading the ingredients I couldn't do it though. I will stick to my quality brands.

Whatever protein you decide on just be sure to scrutinize the ingredients. You will find most add ingredients to spike protein readings, or are full of hydrogenated oils/creamer/sugar.

Or other possibilities.

I know the price of protein isn't going down anytime soon, so keep that in mind. Cheap ($) protein usually = a cheap (ingredient profile) protein. I stress usually; there are always exceptions. Read the labels carefully.

Guar gum = a thickener. Carrageenan = algae/seaweed extract used as a thickener. Amino acids in the blend are frowned upon by most, yet those same aminos are ok to be sold as a standalone product it seems. Protein %, cost, and ingredients can be tricky to navigate to find the right one.

The products speaks for itself, our customers like to support quality products.

I was only joking im a big fan of pes to be honest

Thats the problem Ive been looking up some suggested proteins and then the more i research the ingrediant the more it makes me not want to buy the protein

is guar gum bad because it is in pes select protein

Guar gum is in a lot of things

i would add Cotrolled Labs Pronom into the mix as well.

 

[mr.cooper69]

Guar gum is not only not bad but possibly beneficial to health. It's there as a thickener and takes virtually no space in the scoop. If you are seriously worried about thickeners in protein powders, there may be a hint of obsession-compulsion in your attention to nutrition

Have you ever just added it to plan protein powder for it's ability to thicken shakes? I've never tried it in this manner, nor have I actually ever seen it in the store to be honest.

 

[ion26]

Just buy the protein you enjoy the most. For the most part it won't make a difference. I like BSN Syntha 6. It's 200 calories per scoop but I like the taste.

I used to do this with xantham gum, i like my shakes extra thick.

Too much = Stomach Disaster and DAMN pricey.

I usually don't care for too thick of shakes. If I'm using a blend it's typically thick enough as is.

I always mix with the minimum recommended amount of fluid, sometimes less. It's been a while now since I've had my powder in a shake though.

Ideally I would have my shakes like an extra thick milkshake. The kind that is barely drinkable with a straw.

If price isnt an issue then this stuff is where its at. This stuff is my protein of choice. Great complex and taste.

 

[T-Bone]

OxyElite Protein is also good.

 

[irowland1994]

so many proteins to choose from has anyone tried pes select cookies and creme

 

[rhino67jg]

Cookies & cream is awesome! Definitely give it a try.

 

[bdcc]

Thank you all for the Select love.

 

[aaronuconn]

One of my buddies said C&C isn't bad, but SnickerDoodle is where it's at.

 

[rhino67jg]

I have both. Right now I'm mixing half & half of each together. I know everyone is raving over snickerdoodle, but I really love the C&C. Definitely going to order another one soon.

 

[FireRescue]

Muscle Feast protein is naturally sweetened and has no extra fillers or other crap. Its pretty much the only protein I buy these days. The price is very reasonable too.

Right now they are having a sale where you can get up to 41% off the list prices.

This 100%
Go to the Select Recipe Thread, and start drooling.

My favourite. If you like cinnamon-like powders Snickerdoodle is also worth a try, seems to be the most popular

 

[T-Bone]

Snickerdoodle I don't like so much. Chocolate is much better.

^ this, I enjoy half and half

 

[The Solution]

Still did not do the half and half
something about Cookies and Cinnamon just seems weird.

 

[bdcc]

I have tried snickerdoodle for my first time today.

I am a believer!

Wow Ben, I had no idea.

 

[hvactech]

Powdered chicken works the best

 

[T-Bone]

OxyElite protein is still some good stuff though.

This.

If powders are what you're after, reviews are good for oxyelite as well

Optimum nutrition makes good stuff.
