Best Protein Powders, according to Reddit

If you want good grass fed whey, check nutricost. No weird taste and just very good quality. Can't go wrong

Nutricost is the best, they have a lot of flavors and really good quality

NUTRICOST! simply the best.. best flavor, and it's pretty cheap.

Nutricost is very very good.. and it's on amazon

this! If I know I'm going hrs without a meal break, I do clear whey shakes. Also, on my drive home from a workout. Helps me hit my protein goals in those specific situations: workout days when I'm less hungry and when I don't have breaks/am not… Read more

Clear whey protein shakes - like SEEQ, myProtein, Isopure brands that offer clear protein shakes. My favorite is SEEQ but I will take any brand clear over thick milky whey. Clear Whey tastes like fruit drink.

Isopure

Aquatein as well

Iso100/Isopure

Isopure

Late to the party, but I've purchased several different flavors of Just Ingredients protein. Some of the flavors are really hit or miss imo. Mint Chocolate and Strawberry are my personal favs. I don't love the other chocolate flavored proteins, and… Read more

Just Ingredients is the best I’ve ever tried. I love mixing the Coconut Chocolate with the So Delicious coconut yogurt, it’s literally dessert to me and keeps me from eating actual chocolate. When I found this brand I was finally able to stop eating… Read more

I think that Just Ingredients hits your standards. I really love the brand, very high quality, grass-fed, organic, lots of testing, etc. And really tastes amazing

I just the protein powder by “Just Ingredients”

Just Ingredients Protein Powder

I found this one online, anyone familiar with it? Just Ingredients

Ghost Vegan should be way higher. Y'all are sleeping on it just because of the price. Sometimes you get what you pay for Built with ×

It’s really subjective but my favorite is Ghost vegan Cinnabon at the moment. EarthChimp also has some good ones!

My subjective opinions:

Ghost: great even with water

Huel: ok with water, p good with (non dairy obv) milk

Vedge and Ghost are my favorites from a taste standpoint. Vedge is best overall imo.

Ghost vegan protein is amazing

I swear by PEScience. You can order samples for $1.50 each in almost all the flavors, but my go-to for vanilla and chocolate right now are cake pop and frosted chocolate cupcake. My parents love it too. I've got hella Creami recipes on my page (I… Read more

all of their flavors are good but if you do want a specific recommendation, Honey Grahams or Cinnamon Toast for Black Magic, and Cake Pop, Snickerdoodle or Strawberry Cheesecake for PEScience

Seconding this! PEScience select is sooo good, i currently am in love with their snickerdoodle flavor for use in the creami

+1 for PEScience cake pop, but also the snickerdoodle & strawberry cheesecake slap as well

seconding this, hands down PEScience (cake pop)!

I used/still use this but Transparent Labs gave me some samples and I’ve been using it ever since. Never jacked my stomach up once and it dissolves perfectly. Tastes good, too.

You’ve gotta try muscle sport flavors, they have really good flavors. Also axe and sledge and transparent labs . But they’re all a little pricier

Transparent Labs. Doesn’t have the heavy feeling and it’s not a chore to drink. Easy to put down, and I still feel like I can run a mile after.

Transparent labs has been a game changer for me. I wanted to like Optimum nutrition but it would make me bloated and nauseous.

If you want an established brand Transparent Labs and ISOPure are pretty good.

Transparent labs has “natural flavor”

“While natural flavors must originate from plants or animals, the final product may include synthetically derived solvents and preservatives.”

Not so transparent anymore huh?

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey is the unassuming yet unbeatable choice. Sure, it’s not the flashiest tub on the shelf—your fitness-obsessed coworker has likely preached about it for years—but here’s the truth:

It delivers. Twenty-four grams of… Read more

My go-to is Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey. It's pretty ubiquitous, mixes well, and has a ton of flavors. I usually go for the double rich chocolate. For recipes, I lowkey like Ghost Whey. Their flavors are kinda extra, but they blend really… Read more

I’ve occasionally saved time by taking my usual shake ON Gold double chocolate, with almond milk, and dumping in a cup of room temp coffee, especially if I’m on my way out, and don’t want to take two cups.

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey is really high in cholesterol compared to other protein powders. 55mg per serving. What's up with that? What's the source of all that cholesterol?

AHAHAHA naalala ko dati yung brand na R1 they released 2lb tubs of R1 hot or cold isolate protein. I think it was back then nung after pandemic. Masarap siya. Sana ibalik nila yun haha! Pamalit ko yun sa black coffee para preworkout ko nalang yung… Read more

Si rule 1 before may protein powder talaga for hot drinks. Inirder ko yung hot cocoa.. Tho di sya messy timplahin, hindi para sakin ang taste hahahaha

Tried mixing hot milk with my protein shake di naman nag clumps, ang smooth nga ng texture, protein is Rule 1 choco fudge

Best tasting nothing beats Ghost for me. I like Rule1 as well.

How sweet is double rich chocolate? I find if a protein is too sweet i get over it really quick and it becomes a chore to down it. Currently have Rule 1 isolate chocolate and it's a bit meh.

Was looking into ON choc peanut butter , cookies and cream… Read more

If you've got a Sprouts near you, the Sprouts brand vegan protein has a ton of different flavors and is the cheapest per pound of any other vegan protein.

Hands down my favorite taste AND it's the cheapest...

Everyone is sleeping on Sprouts vegan protein, chocolate is my favorite, but all flavors are good, and I believe they’re the cheapest, it’s like $1.10 per shake

Sprouts vegan protein! Clean ingredients, tastes good and blends well. Chocolate and vanilla are my go-to’s, they also have some seasonal flavors now and then

There are many poor souls out there that don’t live near a Sprouts.

We've just been freezing the RTD protein shakes in the flavors we like. Alani Nu makes a few pretty good flavors and the zero sugar vanilla muscle milk is good for adding mix ins but I was actually using it as my go to mid day snack before the… Read more

Ghost have without a doubt the best tasting and most versatile ones I've ever tried (it mixes really well for things like baking, having with milky cereal etc) - but they are expensive. You're paying for the branding as well as the powder itself.

Best tasting nothing beats Ghost for me. I like Rule1 as well.

Ghost chocolate cereal milk, specifically the vegan one

Ghost is great. Been using them for years.

Ghost Peanut Butter Cereal Milk

Ghost Chips Ahoy

Ryse Jet Puff Marshmallow - especially added to a fruit smoothie

Ryse Cinnamon Toast and Ryse Peanut Butter Cup

Ryse jiffy peanut butter 🥜

I really like Ascent, especially the Lemon Sorbet flavor. Mixed in plain water, it tastes like really mellow lemonade.

Chocolate is... Chocolate. Not too intense, not too sweet.

Haven't tried the other flavors. Ascent does tend to be a bit pricier,… Read more

I just bought ascent and love it. Was using legion previously and tried several others over the years. Ascent mixes easy, takes less liquid and taste is good on mild side. I'm using vanilla.

Ascent Protein, best flavor I’ve ever had. Mix with milk and it’s straight up chocolate milk. Clean and great tasting.

Love Ascent. No stomach issues, tastes good and mixes excellent.

Dymatize iso gourmet vanilla. Legion dark chocolate & RAW Vanilla. Simple yet great tasting flavors, great high quality brands with grass fed isolates and relatively clean ingredients.

Dymatize iso 100 has many great flavors. Their vanilla is a staple for me

The best I’ve had is Dymatize iso-100.

Dymatize iso100 chocolate

I’ve been using True Nutrition for a while now and it’s honestly one of the best protein companies out there. Their quality is top notch and they have a massive variety of protein types and flavors to choose from.

What really sets them apart is that… Read more

I think something that goes unmentioned is the level of harmful heavy metals in vegan protein powder. I was doing True Nutrition for a while but I asked for their lab report and the rice powder (the better tasting part) has high levels of metals… Read more

I really enjoy True Nutrition. Tastes good and fairly priced, along with other good supplements.

Can use my code DYLAN15782 for a discount too.

True Nutrition isn't in the top 20? That's shocking to me, the price difference is absolutely crazy compared to anything else.

I have been using Truvani (Vanilla and Vanilla Chair) for about eight months now, simply because all the ingredients are clean (and I can pronounce them all, lol). I mix it with water or coffee, and the taste is good, but I hate how gritty it is,… Read more

I’m a big fan of Truvani’s vanilla chai flavor! It doesn’t have any gums, natural flavors, or erythritol. It’s just pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, vanilla, chai spices, and monk fruit. All their flavors have been good so far and don’t taste fake or… Read more

Same!! The artificial sweetener flavor is so gross to me. Truvani’s sweetness is the mildest I’ve found so far.

I like Truvani. Pure Ingredients, nice flavor choices, available at Whole Foods.

I like Orgain Simple. They only sell this online though. Clean ingredients and taste is good.

Loved Orgain but wish they didn’t use Erythritol.

Orgain. I like creamy chocolate fudge.

Orgain (currently on sale too!).

I fucking hate Greek yogurt. I HATE it!!! HAAAAATE!!!!!

But I have it everyday…..I add blueberries and blackberries and some sort of nut (cashews normally).

I can totally eat it this way. And the weird thing is, if the blueberries & blackberries… Read more

Naked Whey is a solid choice that won’t break the bank. It’s pure protein which is what you want to be putting in your body after a workout. The additives, flavorings, artificial sweeteners, added sugars, all that crap is just more work for your body… Read more

I also like the Naked brand of protein powders unflavored - gives a lot of control without the extra additives or artificial sweeteners sometimes found in other flavored ones - and I even add the whey to my morning oatmeal to make it a bit more… Read more
