Dymatize (BellRing Brands) - Complete Plant Protein Powder

the only one i have been able to repeatedly consume is dymatize complete plant protein, i have only tried chocolate. every other brand is extremely chalky or tastes disgusting to me. I blend it with some crushed ice, 10 oz of soy milk and sometimes a little cold brew coffee. Other brands I've tried also foam up when i use the blender, which i also find disgusting.

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.

Avoid: * Naked Nutrition * Huel Once per week: * Garden of Life * Momentous 100% Plant Protein Occasionally: * MuscleMeds * Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass * Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Protein Shake * Jocko Fuel * Vega * Quest * Orgain * Equip Foods * Plant Fusion * Ensure * Muscle Milk * KOS Better Choices for Daily Consumption: * Owyn * Transparent Labs * Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey * BSN * Momentus Whey Protein Isolate * Dymatize * Muscle Tech Only the last one - Muscle Tech - is listed as no limit on safe consumption.

negative. Optimum Gold Standard Protein Shake was orange, at above 150% of consumer report's level of concern for lead, and recommend to limit to 4 2/3 servings per week. The Optimum Gold Standard 100% Whey is what was green across the board and recommend 1 3/4 servings per day.

well I guess we can chalk up the disagreement to lack of specificity. "Optimum Gold Protein Powder" isn't listed in the consumer reports article (unless I am blind, which may in fact be the case). There are two Optimum products listed: * Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Protein Shake - not recommended * Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey - recommended If I've missed one or miscategorized one I'll edit my post right away, but I believe I've got them listed correctly.

Careful - Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Protein Shake is listed under "occasionally" and their Gold Standard 100% Whey is listed under "better choices for daily consumption". Kudos on calling out Muscle Tech as having no limit on safe consumption. I missed that and grouped it with the rest of the ones in the same category.

Super late to this but I’d used Isopure for years, then Dymatize. I switched back because I had a tub of Dymatize that had a similar consistency to the new Isopure (not knowing Isopure changed their formula) and gave up on buying protein powder for a while. I’ve been using pre-mixed premier protein in the meantime but it’s definitely costly. Do you still use Dymatize ISO? Is it still a solid protein? Would like to go back if it was just a bad batch.

not a fan of this one, the macros look great on paper, and the ingredient list looks good, but there is no free lunch.. that is the lowest quality protein you can get, and it gives many bad constipation. I find Dymatize to be alot better. I tried this brand for the macros, and ended up constipated and very farty. (this is not a lactose free product) YMMV -- it's difficult to find both a high quality Hydrolized product that is also free of artificial sweetners, the product almost does not exist. Dymatize is close, but still uses ace k /w stevia, better then ace k and splenda like many, but still. If you can tolerate it, great, if you find later that you have bathroom issues, this is likely the cause. Once you go Hydro, you don't go back. The quality of protein is this order : Concentrate // Isolate // Hydro. If you want natural sugars, your immediately paying significant more, if you want lactose free, your paying more, if you want Hydro, your paying more. Unfortunately this product combines Concentrate with Zero artificial sweetners, which is what drew me to it too. You won't find Hydro's without artificial sweetners, because it's naturally worse tasting then the other options so they have to fix it with sweetness. That said, Dymatize is pretty good tasting, I prefered it over this one, and has "only" one artificial sweetner, (ace k) many have 2 or 3.

Consider Dymatize (Powder, not RTD product) fairlife, nurri.

Hey, fellow gym-girl here. go with well-trusted brands like Dymatize, if you are lactose intolerant then you can try the elite one else you can go with the isolate.

Cellucor protein has been my base protein powder , if you want to spend more , dymatize or ehplabs isopept, best thing is to get a couple different ones to stay versatile

Dymatize. The flavors are insane. Can be pricey though.

I have and use both ON and Dymatize powders which are on the good side of the names noted. I've heard that for plant based, Orgain (which I also use) is better as its regulated as a food not a 'supplement'. That was in another article. The drinks may be more questionable though some of these powders seem way high.

Where you get the protein doesn’t matter as long as you hit your protein target for the day. Personally, i use Dymatize (due to quality and heavy metal safety) but i would not mind Optimum Nutrition if Dyna is not available.
