I’m a big fan of Clean Simple Eats! I especially enjoy their [Chocolate Brownie Batter protein powder](https://go.shopmy.us/p-37358234). It’s smooth, doesn’t leave a chalky residue, and doesn’t alter the taste of my smoothies or drinks.
The Clean Simple Eats brownie is pretty good, especially blended with a frozen banana and almond milk. I want to try the Truvani too. https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-safety/these-five-protein-powders-had-low-lead-levels-a1151050701/
Clean Simple Eats or Premier Protein (not as tasty but still solid). https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-safety/these-five-protein-powders-had-low-lead-levels-a1151050701/
If you're interested in a shake that comes ready to go- I like the fair life chocolate shakes. If you are looking for a powder to mix with milk/almond milk/water I prefer Clean Simple Eats. I currently combine 8oz of the fair life fat free milk (80cal w/ 13g protein) with a scoop of the Brownie Batter Clean Simple Eats, with some frozen banana, powdered peanut butter and ice cubes and it's (for a protein shake) delicious. Total calories come to about 300 calories and 41g of protein
I use it to replace my breakfast because I like starting my day with protein and carbs so I usually combine it with a piece of sourdough toast, but I also think that you should use it to fit with your lifestyle, for instance I always eat breakfast and lunch at work so I try to bring something that is easy.
I absolutely love the clean simple eats Cake Batter one. I’ve had a little success with extracts. They just never taste the way that I want them to. I love levels vanilla but I don’t think it takes like birthday cake at all personally. The PEscience cake pop one was absolutely awful.
Here’s a review I did on the CSE cake batter one. https://thepintlab.com/powder/clean-simple-eats-cake-batter
I have not had a great experience with Clean Simple Eats. The flavor is just totally underwhelming (some are not good enough to even finish, imo). Ranked really poorly in my tests. Happy to share them all if interested. I tried over 50 and still going.
I haven’t tried any explicit cookie dough flavors yet. Other than CSE, what are you looking at?
I did a CSE Chocolate Peanut Butter one over the weekend and it was great. Just needed some extra peanutty flavor by the way of PB Fit powder. It was great! And CSE flavors aren't traditionally my fave (I don't love xylitol), but I had a box of sample flavors to use up, so it's been good for trial and error since I'm new to the Creami world.
So far my fave has been Dymatize Iso 100 Cookies and Cream. Also really liked just using a couple cans of vanilla Nurri with some extra vanilla extract, a bit of extra sweetener, a spoon of vanilla pudding and a pinch of salt. On their own, I think the vanilla Nurri tastes like melted ice cream, so I'm glad to use them for this.
