Worst Protein I've EVER Had

Usually I'm posting to tell people about something I love, but here's a nice change of pace! I just ordered 11lb of the absolute worst tasting protein I've ever had!

Muscletech Nitrotech Whey Gold - Vanilla. God Awful.


I usually mix vanilla whey into my greek yogurt with a little fruit, I've never found a protein that I could taste through those other flavors. The Vanilla has the worst after-taste ever. Now they want me to pay to mail back the 11lb for a store credit....sucks! I've been "in the game" since the 90's, and this is the first protein I knew I'd never be able to drink - especially not 11lb!

whats the worst you've had?

bought it on clearance. Didn't notice that they didn't specify what kind of isolate protein... it was wheat protein isolate. Didn't make, gummed up everything, was horrific tasting and gave me the worst gas ever. Never again.
 
A vegan protein that Kashi made. Grossest thing ever. Never dissolved, tasted like sand in your mouth and nothing made it taste better.
 
As a rep I won't hate that hard on another brand lol but I am in to enjoy all these
 
Back when i still lived in South Africa, i once bought USN whey (think USN is being distributed here now too), the flavor wasn't so bad, but it really upset my stomach and i spent so much time in the bathroom
 
I never really dipped into the unknown brand proteins but as far as what I've had, ON Protein would be the worst, blandest flavors I've had. I still can't believe people buy that chit with Animal Whey/PES and others out now.

Yeah when I first started working out ON Protein was all I knew. I'd agree their flavoring is really lacking now, they all have a similar chalky taste to them. I guess the only benefit to them is that they are almost water thin in texture and you can slam it down pretty fast.
 
Can't remember the brand, but the first (that I know of) company to come out with pea protein. I think it was around 2009-2010. Holy **** that stuff was bad.
 
I can't recall buying a Protein I didn't like because I'm a bit pedantic and read reviews a lot, but back in the days of yore I wasn't so.. and there wasn't very much out there so I did settle for a product called AMINO COLA which was the most gut wrenching horrid ****, I have ever tasted. There was no way to dilute or change the flavor of that thick liquid industrial waste. I can still taste it 30 years later. NO EFFING WAY. I'm going to puke.
 
Any UK guys remember which brands of whey Home Bargains sell in pouches (not tubs)? It was literally the cheapest you could find there.

It may have been PHD Diet Whey (which would be weird because I like their bars) or X-Tone... but whatever it was was the nastiest, sour "chocolate" flavour I've ever had in my life. The stuff was almost undrinkable (could just about swallow it with a crap load of sweetener added). We started making it into bars but even they tasted vile.

Yeah the only ON flavour really worth it is the extreme milk chocolate, the rest are really bad
 
PES Select is undrinkable to me and most Vegan proteins that my wife gets is pretty horrible as well.

PES Select Vegan or regular Select? Every Select flavor have tried has been awesome.

Edit. Never tried the Vegan ones though.
 
Optimum Whey, vanilla, mixed in lukewarm drinking fountain water, in a regular bottle not a shaker or mixer, at an airport.

Hard to believe extreme milk chocolate mixed in cold milk is the same product lol

I just threw up in my mouth reading that
 
Met-rx chocolate in that semi-transparent red tub. Worst protein I have ever tasted. No wonder it was $19 for 4lbs.

Yes, the regular one, It feels like it's a inside joke I'm not in on when people say PES Select tastes good, lol. I gave it another chance since everyone said it was sooo good but even the second flavor I had was horrible...

Are you from the US or UK?

I am from Continental Europe and in my experience, our "taste buds" are not exactly the same. I do also think that Select is too sweet and artificial for instance, and like 90% in the epic food thread are not appealing to me. Obviously, there are exceptions on both sides, but just a casual observation when it comes to taste reviews.

But not saying any way is superior, but tastes and preferences are definitely different
 
ON is pretty bland

LG lipotropic wasn't great but it did grow on Me

my old roommate used to buy some no name brand and their cookies and creme was awful

Pes snickerdoddle is the most recent protein I've tried that I didn't like

When all else is said and done I'll drink just about any protein, even the bad flavors aren't undrinkable

I am from Europe but lives in US, you're right, tastes from Europe is different.
 
Carnivorass gainer! It's a beef protein shake. I would literally have to pinch my nose to guzzle it down and when I went to the bathroom the ronchy smell of my own feces made me want to hurl. Having to sit in that bathroom and smell that was def what I imagine one of the layers of hell would smell like
 
Not going to name the brand but It was a rice protein powder. I just say that much.
 
I had a beef protein that was flavored as a fruit style. That was probably the worst I had. Tossed after trying twice.
 
By a country mile, the worst tasting protein I've ever used was Trutein red velvet. It went into the bin after 3 scoops.

Honourable mention to ON double rich chocolate. Bought a 4.5kg bag a few years ago and the flavour grew old quickly. I choked back the rest of it and vowed never to buy ON ever again.

I had the same experience... but decided to take a chance on ON milk chocolate and that one is VERY good.

I think the fact thats it hasn't ever been involved with protein spiking too makes people tend to go towards it.. at least not spiked that I am aware.. agreee it is very thin when mixed and not as good as other

This is the most shocking post I've read in a long time. Im almost amazed everything I have select at the fact it's protein and not a milk shake

When people say this I 100% believe 2 things, you are paid by the company or just trying to prank others. ;p
 
Either Designer Whey from the mid 2000's or Some crap my ex bought at Kroger. It was supposed to be sweetened with stevia ( which I use all of the time) but that stevia must have been tainted. Most bitter crap I have ever tasted as far as protein goes. I'd rather swallow Gynema Sylvestra powder raw than eat that garbage again.
