Ascent from Costco, it’s a lot cheaper than it is direct from them or Amazon.. I do add in a smaller bag from Amazon of one of the other flavors so I’m not stuck with just one flavor..
I love Legion and Ascent protein powders. Legion is more expensive but has lots of great flavors and doesn’t give me gas. Ascent is sold at Costco - I get both vanilla and chocolate.
Not my favorite in terms of taste. Recently did my own taste test and this is the order I ranked Vanilla.
Dymatize ISO 100 9/10
ON 8/10
Ascent 6/10
Levels 5/10
Muscle Milk 4/10
That said, the macros are good and the price is good. I mix it with peanut powder and I like it much better that way.
Ascent or the Naked line are good.
ON has tested profile for heavy metals frequently and is just not a good brand if you’re concerned about quality.
*“A 2026 Consumer Reports investigation found that Optimum Nutrition (ON) Serious Mass whey protein powder contained 8.5 micrograms of inorganic arsenic per serving, exceeding their suggested daily safety limit.”*
