I second Syntha-6. Only one that doesn’t taste overly sweet. I think it’s the fat content that does it
I like BSN Syntha 6. It tastes amazing when mixed with milk. Chocolate and Vanilla are the only flavours I've tried and both are great.
I like strawberry. For whatever reason, it makes it easier to drink the thick protein shakes. A thick chocolate tastes like motor oil and a thick vanilla tastes like bad milk. Ultimately though, it depends more on the brand. Synth 6 is my favorite powder based on taste, but it is more expensive and lower protein than other options. Premier protein is probably the best all around, but it only comes in chocolate and vanilla. Lately I've been using Quest which I find tastes great and has a lot of protein for very low calories.
My two favourites are the Radix Nutrition protein smoothies (which come in fruit smoothie type flavours e.g. banana and mango, or mixed berry) and then Pure Sports Nutrition "recovery protein". Both are not the cheapest by any stretch, nor are they the highest protein but I like the Radix one because it contains fibre, serving of fruit/vegetables, and a great base for adding other ingredients. The Pure recovery protein is also very tasty. Both of them I never feel any upset tummy after. I've bought various Mushasi protein powders when cheap at Chemist Warehouse and always found they give me a stomach ache. No matter which particular product. Years ago I used to swear by BSN Syntha 6, which was always the best tasting in my opinion but haven't had it in a while.
Syntha-6 mixes so well and also Wheybolic are 2 that are really good
Syntha 6 and Wheybolic
I really like BSN Syntha-6! It’s marketed as a bodybuilder/weightlifter protein so can’t get it at the grocery store but it is soooo good and the macros are fantastic. I get the chocolate milkshake flavor and it’s delish. Mix it with skim milk and the macros are even better. And most importantly, it’s really inexpensive. If you get the giant bag of 97 servings, it’s about $110, so like a third of the price of Fairlife Core Power (which I also really like a lot).
