Hi everyone ! I thought I would make a thread simply asking what type of flavor you like on your whey protein. I myself have only tried Double rich chocolate (Optinum Nutrition) and Extreme milk chocolate (Nitro Tech). I like them, but I am most likely going to buy something like cookies and cream next time.

So what have you tasted ? Did you like it ? What do you prefer ?

I am liking BSN Vanilla as my flavour of choice at the moment. I have tried the strawberry as a sample at the gym that was'nt bad either. I have also tried Sci Max vanilla and strawberry which went down ok to. The vanilla is awesome on my porridge to!!!!

Yeah I am sure BSN taste good. Only problem (at least here in Norway) is the price of BSN. It costs a lot more than most other supplements.

Do you blend the vanilla with water or milk ?

That is the one I am currently using and I find it to be pretty decent. I think I am just getting a bit tired of chocolate flavored powders so next time I am going to buy somthing else

 

Do you mostly blend it with water or milk ?

I know what you mean with the price of BSN. My local supplement store sells it for £45, I have seen it online for as low as £33. Usually I check ebay and Amazon for the best price. I have seen it for as much as £80 even online!!!!!!

I blend it with water and use Almond milk with my porridge in the morning.

Nougat or Strawberry from most Protein brands. I think they 'hide' the porotein taste the most. =)

 

I usually mix my 30 gram of protein powder per shake in a blender, with 150 ml water and 50 ml skimmed milk (0.1 %), a teaspoon tip of cacao powder (real cacao, not stuff like Kaba etc because they contain sugar), and a banana. (you can throw some rolled oats in it if you need to bulk)

 

Tastes awesome, doesn't need any preparation, just throw the stuff together and you are good to go ..and counts as one meal... love it =)

If you're after flavor, there's not much of a debate that MusclePharm has the tastiest stuff out there. My issue with them is they spike their protein. They're not the worst but they're up there. I also put a lot of stock in flavor since i've had some pretty bland and terrible stuff before. Actually, ON Gold Standard double chocolate is one of the worst chocolate flavors i've tried. Their milk chocolate flavor is much better but still lacking compared to MP.

 

Now some words of wisdom for you young guys out there... A lot of companies spike their stuff. So with this knowledge you can find something that tastes good and just dose accordingly. Using MusclePharm as an example, I take 1.5 scoops to truly hit the protein numbers. I know it sucks but it is what it is. If the stuff was better quality it would cost more. Imagine that, haha.

Yeah that is what I mean with price.

I have not tried mixing my protein with almond milk, I should try that.

I am not looking for spiked protein. It is not as bad as people make it out to be (obviously depending on how spiked it is). However it is clearly better to buy protein powder that is not spiked. Moreover I am not really that obsessed with flavor but I have some base lines. It should either taste good or at least decent (which is ON double rich chocolate) or be unflavored.

 

I have not tasted MusclePharm, I might give it a try some time in the future.

I find it hard to go past chocolate flavoured anything. For me, my protein powder is currently Musashi's Lean WPI Protein. It tastes great with water or milk.

Only ever had vanilla flavoured shakes so far! haha.

 

I mainly have stuck with vanilla so far because it has the best nutrition values out of all the other flavours in the brand range. They are only slight differences so it wouldn't really matter if I had a different flavour..but vanilla is all good :)
