Complete Plant Protein Powder

Not every ON flavor mixes the same but generally they are both as good or better. There's nothing wrong with the Nutricost BUT the good flavors are literally just vanilla, strawberry, and salted caramel. The rest are weak. Nutricost supps are really stripped down so you get a cleaner product but they aren't just super yummy. Dymatize is both tasty, and mixes decent but has more great flavors.

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.

I bought banana flavored Dymatize when I was in Abu Dhabi 12 years ago. Best thing ever. Either it was discontinued or just not available in the states.

Dymatize is only 120 cal for 25g Muscle milk has 100 calorie servings but those including the vanilla are kinda gross. Also some people are not happy with the ingredients.

The great protein shortage of 2026 is coming and its ready to ABOSLUTELY RIP.

Surveyed GLP-1 users reported their protein intake jumped roughly 65%. This means that almost 50 million Americans are trying to intake VASTLY more protein than before, but they don't have the desire to eat... So what's the best way to intake protein? **Protein Powders.** That's right morons. We're talking about a supply shortage massive scale with millions of new consumers in a market and GLPs are the driver. ***THE PRODUCT:*** **BRBR (BellRing Brands)** makes Premier Protein, known for their brand Dymatize. I use this shit everyday and besides giving me the absolute gnarliest farts, it works like a charm. But farts not included, I've recommended it to everyone on GLP-1s for one important reason. Consumer Reports tested a bunch of the popular protein powders and found roughly **two-thirds carried concerning levels of heavy metals.** Lead, cadmium, the fucking works, with plant-based products averaging about twice the lead of whey. BUT, when they tested Premier Protein, it passed. It's one of the only brands out there that has both quality and flavor, and because of this it's been flying off the shelves and catching up with demand is becoming more and more challenging. ***THE FACTS:*** I posted the link above to the artice by The Atlantic ran a piece titled "The Protein Shortage Is Coming." Wholesale whey prices are up more than 50% since January to a record high, the USDA reports tight inventories, and some manufacturers have already sold out for the entire year. BRBR is way undervalued. As one of the only direct to consumer protein brands that is publicly traded, I think the recent price drops haven't factored in the shift and shortages, and I think we could see a potential for BRBR to really boom if they play their cards right.
