Is it quality protein? Flavors look good, just don't know if they are trusted.

I've not come across anything (internet/Google wise) to suggest it isn't and believe they've been around for 12 or so years, so idk 🤷‍♂️

I like PES as well I just find it's too thick and rich at times. Mainly post workout. Hard to just guzzle down.
I love the PES vegan cinnamon delight, but the prices are ridiculous. I guess all protein is expensive now, but $70 for 55 servings...time to shop for a different brand.

1.27 per serving in this inflation is great for this quality

the cpi is over 25% and the cci is well over 30% ... I'd say yea, it might be time for a lot of folks. but even a dozen eggs cost a ton of money now. ground beef is over 7 per lb.. things are probably going to get far worse after the mid terms

Do y'all trust Ghost? Years ago, I only went with brands that tested their products, or when 1fast400 tested it but I don't see this anymore.

It’s a national brand now carried in GNC and other retail location. So yeah I don’t really doubt the quality of ingredients. I can speak for the energy drink and preworkout. Both fantastic flavor wise and both are decent for energy

I've never tried their protein, but I trust their quality. And that's coming from me as someone that has worked in the industry for 18+ years and is very skeptical of the quality of many brands in general.

Companies that have grown to the size of Ghost, I can't speak for the quality of proteins used in blends and things like that, but as far as meeting label claims, they can't afford the legal liability of not hitting label claims.

My personal protein pics are any of the Ketogenics proteins and I've been a fan of Trutein for years.

I have food allergies so I drink a lot more of my protein than most people so I still switch up between the two brands, but now days its probably 90% Ketogenics and occasionally Trutein just for a couple specialty flavors that they have. But for the average person, Ketogenics has so many great flavors that it would take the average person many months to try them all if going through a tub of each at a time.

Next time you get bloodwork done, you can request food allergen testing to go along with it. It doesn't cover everything and isn't super comprehensive, but it can be a good starting point. And if it shows positive on anything, that is usually all it takes to get you in with an allergy specialist that can do more testing.

I like REDCONS lean MRE in blueberry muffin and banana nut bread

The protein flavors are literally to die for. I know alot of guys here have a hard time or dislike Aaron.

I've never had an issue with him personally, but I can honestly say those two protein flavors are out of this world.

Not sure what kind of sales they will have, but I recently ordered from Core Nutrionals, the Pro & Pudd’n products, and I’m extremely impressed with the quality and digestability of both products. They’re 3/3 on protein flavors I’ve tried so far lately. Their stuff is less sweetened than the typical brand, and better focus on true flavoring.

The Coconut Cream Pie Pro is the best coconut cream I’ve ever had.

Yes I forgot about their Coconut Creme Pie, I hope they have a sale coming up. If not I do have a 20% code!

I’m glad to see someone else likes REDCON. I haven’t had their protein but I’ve had the pwo. I think it’s a pretty good pre.

They copied Prescription Nutrition/ Raw Dynamix blueberry muffin. They brought it to the market a decade ago.

I used to sell it and I couldn't even keep it in stock.

Its probably the best tasting protein I have ever had in my life and the banana bread is a very very close second.

I mean this stuff is as deluxe as it gets. And I say that as an IML rep and as everyone knows IML and Redcon don't precisely see eye to eye LOL.
