If you don't have problems digesting lactose, whey protein conc. is a good option for you. If you're sensitive to it, WPI is the way to go. If you're on a budget, or are vegan, plant protein is a great alternative. However, it can take a while to adapt to plant protein's grainy texture and taste. Brands that I suggest which are trustworthy and avoid fillers are OWN by Food Pharmer TWT or raw / unflavored whey protein from ; Naturaltein Asitis Nutrabay Muscleblaze Muscle Nectar
asitis raw is budget friendly, twt raw is 10-20% better in packaging,taste (overall product) than asitis PRO tip from an amateur - always buy raw, never flavoured. you can add flavour yourself. what do you think, they gonna add real strawberries or mango? they add flavouring substance which you can add yourself. you can buy them easily. they are added in shakes too
Hey everyone, I’ve tried a bunch of protein powders over the last 5 years and ended up caring more about **cost + practicality** than anything else. Used: * Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Double Chocolate * The Whole Truth Whey (Unflavoured & Chocolate) * Only What’s Needed Chocolate * Asitis Raw Whey * Amul Whey (Unflavoured sachets) Observations: **Unflavoured whey is just cheaper** Especially The Whole Truth (Unflavoured) and Amul, significantly better value per gram of protein. **Taste (subjective):** * **Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard** → still the best tasting * **The Whole Truth (Unflavoured)** → neutral, easy with water * **Only What’s Needed** → didn’t like the taste much personally * **Asitis Raw Whey** → neutral * **Amul Whey** → okay-ish, works best in smoothies **What worked best for me (instead of flavored whey)** Rather than buying flavoured Whey, I just add flavour at home with every scoop: 1) Cacao powder - Didier and Frank 2) Coffee flavour - any instant coffee This turns out to be much cheaper and the taste can be adjusted as needed. **Cost breakdown:** [Cost breakdown](https://preview.redd.it/ewau24mxxnyg1.png?width=952&format=png&auto=webp&s=c1b015e2f0daf4e18bd1e400c5824e27edc8d530) **TL;DR** Unflavoured whey is cheaper and more flexible. Use cocoa/coffee + stevia instead of paying for flavour. **The Whole Truth** for water, **Amul** for smoothies
I've been using Beast Life Iso Whey. The mixability is good and there's no bloating. However, if you're someone for whom taste matters, it doesn't taste as good as Pro Concentrate. I ordered a 4kg bucket, which came with four 1kg packets. This packaging reduces the risk of the powder drying up. I personally don't like As-It-Is. Firstly, because of the mixability, as you mentioned. It also feels heavy, whereas Beast Life is very light.
Go for a basic whey (TrueBasics / AS-IT-IS / MB Raw) and start with half scoop to see how your body reacts. You don’t need women-specific protein marketing hai mostly Just pick something clean, digestible, and you’ll be sorted.
Asitis, it works for me
Hi, so currently i have two options in my mind. 1. OnlyWhatsNeeded Plant Protein, priced at ₹1400/KG even tho i wanna order it but it is out of stock, moreover, i am not a fan of coffee, i can still drink it but as long as it is "latte" level, not stronger. 2. Nutrabox Soy Protein Isolate, priced at ₹1300/KG not sure if i should order this, idk if this is a trustable brand or not, would go for cafe latte or chocolate (do lemme know if anyone has tried either or both) i have tried whey protein, from AsItIs (left me kinda bloated), and Naturaltein (never faced any issues) i have and will continue to take them with milk (500 ml) i would've gone for Whey protein again from either Naturaltein or maybe switch to OnlyWhatsNeeded but the prices are skyrocketing with the minimum price of ₹2500/KG. i cant afford it anymore, thats why i am switching to plant protein preferably under ₹1500/KG as OnlyWhatsNeeded has been out of stock for a while, i am thinking of jus ordering the Nutrabox one. should i? or are there any better options? TL;DR: OnlyWhatsNeeded Plant Protein out of stock; Should i get Nutrabox Soy Protein Isolate or any other? under ₹1500/KG
AsItIs is also nice (2kg for Rs 3800)
