No just a huge fan of their products, they haven't let me down yet

Given proper labeling, there's no such thing as best protein. And taste is personal.

20g of protein = 20g of protein.

 

[anavar1715]

No just a huge fan of their products, they haven't let me down yet

but it's more expensive than most proteins!

 

[Driven2lift]

Read their write up and reviews, you can get it for under $1 per serving and a lot of the cheaper ones are of questionable quality.

So many spiking scandals and false labels I like to be safe

can u be more specific, I'm a noob and just started using this forum yesterday!

 

[ScruffMcBuff]

Fitness Pro Super Whey does the trick, really want to try the PES protein though, heard snicker doodle is damn good!

 

[heavylifter33]

No it's not. PES Select is very competitively priced. Especially considering you know what you're getting, as well as the flavors being generally considered "good."

 

[Driven2lift]

can u be more specific, I'm a noob and just started using this forum yesterday!

There have been several recent lawsuits against companies not meeting label claims,

They can add aminos like taurine, glycine, or creatine so the protein content registers higher in testing (nitrogen testing)

So a product labeled 25g could only actually have 15 or less

With protein you get what you pay for

 

[anavar1715]

Any advise in a probiotic?

Want it!!
So sad i never tried it and difficult to get here in norway

 

[Sean1332]

You can find Controlled Labs PROnom 23 for around $30 (Nutraplanet right now, I believe)

There's 3rd party lab testing on the product as well, as mentioned about other proteins being "spiked"

^ this is good stuff too

One UK site i know about is allways free for SELECT grrrr

To me, the best protein is the one that goes down and sits like water and eliminates all soreness after taking as little as 25g post-workout.

That happens to be hydrolized protein. PeptoPro is good but expensive but hydrolized whey is cheaper and satisfies the condition above. When it comes to recovery and strength gains, I've found that 25g of the hydrolyzed variety works extremely well and cannot be even compared to 75g of any plain variety of whey, casein or egg albeit of perfect quality. Your experience, of course, may vary. You may be able to digest and benefit from those but not me.

As for taste, BNRG Proto Whey tastes the best but has a bit much fiber, 4DN Hydro Matrix is about the leanest of them all and tastes fine, the NutraBio Vanilla is among the best tasting but the xantham gum in it does not agree with me, NOW Foods Whey Hydrolysate is all natural and tastes good to me, MHP IsoPrime Beef is a good alternative to milk-sourced proteins and tastes good but does not mix well and foams a good bit, for those who care about those things.

 

[AntM1564]

There is no best protein. I would just stay away from anything spiked.

I would look into, in no particular order

PES
Cellucor
SAN
Universal
ON
Dymatize
Controlled Labs
XF
Bio-X
Beverley

 

[T-Bone]

Use one of the bulk suppliers.

 

[Rocket3015]

To many good ones to list !

 

[ArmstrongBrah]

I've tried too many good ones to list but I am always pleased with any protein from ON. I also loved BPI. The strawberry cake flavor and vanilla granola was incredible both with chunks of dried strawberries and granola crunch.

Couldnt stand the BPI mine were given away lol

Not sure on if i trust it or not yet.

 

[mw1]

My two favorites are Trutein (lemon meringue) and USP OxyElite Protein (banana) .....with PES Snickerdoodle not far behind. If you are on a budget, then SAN Platinum protein would be my go to

 

[ArmstrongBrah]

Really? Which flavor did you try?

 

[Driven2lift]

Really? Which flavor did you try?

Banana Marshmallow was the one i actually was grossed out by (nit untypical for me with synthetic banana)

Wasnt impressed by the chocolate,

And the vanilla caramel was pretty weak flavouring.

I grabbed them on the buy two get one sale at you all know where.

 

[kbayne]

OP, you need to try PES Select Snickerdoodle. All 4 flavors are amazing but Snickerdoodle is the best IMO. I actually am in love with Snickerdoodle + Milk Chocolate.

 

[The Solution]

Select
pronom
Scivation Whey
Blue star Whey Smooth
Animal Whey
USP Labs Banana/Strawberry

 

[TyMan14]

PES Select is my favorite. But when I cant afford it, I grab Dymatize elite XT. Blueberry Muffin and Banana Nut are fantastic!

HOLY BROSCIENCE BATMAN

 

[powerpunk5000]

Muscle milk... I think everyone will agree

 

[Rocket3015]

I always thought that PES was a little expensive also, until I sign up on the website for the insider deals, they can save you a lot of money !

Yep. You bought them when I did. If you ever decide to give them another shot, try Strawberry Cake. There is no "cake" flavor to it. But it is simply the most accurate strawberry tasting protein I've ever come across.

 

[Driven2lift]

Maybe,
I do like USP labs Strawberry Cheesecake

 

[Young Gotti]

here we go again...i tend to stick with a good isolate if at all possible or in the budget

if not, just make sure your reading labels for what was mentioned above which could skew the protein amounts

 

[dkgreene88]

I really like
MTS red velvet
Select All
Usplabs proteinAll
Pronom 23 chocolate

 

[hvactech]

Pulled pork

 

[aaronuconn]

Other than Select, XF UP 2.0 is an awesome choice. Specifically Banana flavor.

 

[Rocket3015]

Pulled pork

That sounds disgusting !

 

[trg99]

Jim stoppani has a pretty good protein out, kinda pricey but real good quality

 

[Gainaddict]

Pulled pork

do you mix it up with bbq sauce rather than water?

 

[MidwestBeast]

Best is subjective.

Assuming we're just talking about taste...

Choc PB and Choc Strawberry Trutein were fantastic
Apple Cinnamon and Rocky Road from a former sponsor were tasty
MyoPeptide Strawberry is great even just in water
PES Select is great
And I won't say who since it's not a sponsor, but there's a Thin Mint that tastes dead on to the cookies and I love it.

 

[kissdadookie]

Metabolic Drive
Quest
Select

For "not the greatest tasting but still a solid protein and affordable nonetheless" I stick with Dymatize Elite Whey, Elite Casein, and Elite Gourmet.

 

[hvactech]

do you mix it up with bbq sauce rather than water?

Absolutely

 

[EMPIREMIND]

Hydrolyzed whey and casein from true nutrition. A lot of people swear by peptopro as well.

Also heard pes select is bomb

 

[T-Bone]

Bulk concentrate is priced pretty good.

 

[kbayne]

Peptopro is legit if you want to spend the cash for it.

PES Select is great as well being a MPI/WPC blend, obviously.

 

[Tabascoonall]

Select or Metabolic nutritonals PB cookie.

20g of protein = 20g of protein.

are you saying that 20gr whey=20g Soy=20 g Rice are all created equal? How about Cricket protein and Milk protein, the same?
