WHEY Protein

I am the same way! The struggle. Everything has “that” taste. I have thankfully found 1up nutrition. They have the best protein in my opinion. What changed it all for me is the clear protein. I’m hooked. No milk needed and it tastes like a flavored water. My favorite is the cherry Italian ice but I love anything cherry :) the lemon is sooo good too. I sometimes mix half and half 🤤I have at least one a day. 8oz water, 1 scoop, mix and add ice and bam 20g protein in 80 cals. I also love the vanilla ice cream powder to add to my coffee some days. I use a discount code from one of the girls I follow on Instagram.

i like 1up, they have a bunch of unique whey flavors and also you get free samples with orders

I am really loving clear protein powders. They are a lot lighter and taste more juicy. Not as heavy. They are usually 20g of protein per serving and if I ever want to up that, I make frosted lemonades with them with adding fat free fairlife, and fage zero Greek yogurt and ice. So refreshing and delicious. The best ones I have found are 1up Protein Italian Lemon Gelato and OATH ( available at Target ) Pina Colada and frosted lemonade flavor. Clean simple eats also has some really tasty looking ones. For whey protein, I really like PE Science. Their Frosted Sugar Cookie and Snickerdoodle are my favorite 😃

I’ve been using 1UP whey isolate in salted Carmel. It’s 110 cal for 25g of protein. It delicious as well

Hey guys, For some reason I I don’t like some of the “goated” mainstream protein powders. I was so addicted I would just us water + ryse protein powder and that would be enough, however addictions slowly fade away and you start cravings some luxurious tasting stuff. **What I love but now kind of bored of:** * Ryse protein (Chocolate cookie blast, Peanut Butter cup, Cosmic Brownie), I have eaten 6 pints per day of these for about a year. Served me well * Ghost whey (Slowly hated the chip’s ahoy, noticed it wasn’t rly my cup of tea, I loved the Coffee Ice cream) * Muscle Sport Lean Whey (overall I did not mind the flavors, I can finish a tub even tho it wasn’t my favorite flavor) * PandaSupps (I like their formulations but need to find the perfect flavor, ordered some more) **What I tried and rly tried to love but couldn’t:** * PEScience, I tried so many times and so many flavors, they just never hit home for me. (chocolate truffle, CnC was very cream heavy) * 1up, their protein powders were rly cream flavor heavy * Axe and Sledge (C&C, Chocolate macadamia) * Legion (Salted caramel, dutch chocolate) * Transparent labs (used to love their dark chocolate but flavor was too mild after a while) * Myprotein (Several chocolate flavor, salted caramel) * Jocko Molk (chocolate, didn’t mind it but didn’t topple ryse, wasn’t worth it for me) * Applied Nutrition (Choco Beuno, White choco Beuno) * Isopure (chocolate) * Mre Lite (Chocolate, Fudge Brownie) * Clean Simple Eats (brownie batter) * Dymatize (Cocoa Pebbles, flavor weren’t rly strong for me) * Ekkovision (Tiramisu, Brownie batter) * Fairlile milk + vanilla extract was abysmal IMO * Orgain (tasted rly weird, maybe its the plant-based formulation) * Optimum Nutiriton (l was hesitant to put this, last time I used it was 2022/23, at the time it wasn’t rly good, but they could have improved so. I tried their chocolate/vanilla, milk was okay but with water, I didn’t like it) **Btw: this has been a very expensive trial and error but worth it.** **Final notes:** It sounds like I am a pain to recommend to, hopefully someone as messed up as me can be helped. As you notice I am chocolate heavy advocate, Idm a vanilla here and there if it’s amazing, lean whey and panda supps vanilla are great. **Flavors I despise, (or maybe haven't tasted good one):** * I don’t like mint (non-negotiable) * pure peanut butter flavored * fruity/cream heavy flavors as you see. For example strawberry shortcake by ryse was more cake/cream than pure strawberry. **Possible flavor/goals:** * I guess the best case scenario for me would be a great vanilla which I think I have, but have never found a good salted caramel (awaiting my panda supps order) * Also Biscoff (cookie butter) * But as you see I like chocolate, chocolate hazelnut, Ferraro Roche/Nutella vibes I get tempted to re-order most protein I don’t like from the sheer positive reviews they get. **Attempts:** I have tried normal cacao, very expensive dutch powders, black cacaos and expensive vanilla bean extracts. They all just try and mask the protein flavor and are dominant, I don’t like the intense dry pure cacao flavor For example when I use a 1Tbsp of Dutch chocolate it overrides any flavor and I just taste that powder, it doesn't seem to blend, just overpower. If i use too little, I can't even sense it's there. I like rich/luxurious gelato/Haagen-Dazs/Lindt vibes. Sorry for the long post. I hope I am not being annoying and hope someone can help me out 😭. Edit: I don’t mind other solutions as well, anything that would work and is not a calorie bomb. I am trying to replicate PinkBerry’s Chocolate Hazelnut rn, I hate normal yogurt and love Greek. I know Pinkberry uses yogurt but their chocolate hazelnut is heavenly.

My dr said she was not concerned about protein powders but I too researched companies that are third party tested. I landed on clean simple eats or 1up Nutrition as options. I put a scoop in my coffee or oatmeal or have a shake a few times a week

If you like fruity flavors, 1up protein is really good! Especially good in the warmer months. So refreshing. Flavors like lemonade, sour cherry and watermelon! So good!

My favorite protein is 1 Up Nutrition and all their flavors are amazing! The clear proteins don’t work for the creami but I’m just not a huge fan of clear proteins
