Clear Whey

Of the ones I’ve tried, Rule1 clear protein powders have the best taste. Ghost clear isolates aren’t bad, but they are super sweet, like hard candy. Honestly no protein powders tastes great to me, but the ones that are supposed to taste like chocolate milk hurt my stomach.

So far I like Ghost clear because it tastes like juice and is not gritty. Fairlife is pretty tasty. I also like the Premier Protein Coffeehouse Caramel Macchiato.

My advice would be to use a clear whey like Ghost strawberry watermelon - 25g - 100 calories

Ghost palang natry ko. Sa amazon ko inoorder. Cinnabon noon and Coffee Ice cream flavor ngayon. Okay naman pag may milk kaso minsan may lasang soapy aftertaste na di ko maexplain. Next order ko is clear protein nila na parang juice daw para di na need mag milk. Strawberry lemonade flavor ata naka add to cart ko.

I prefer clear protein, Ghost has the best flavor and cost/protein ratio. I usually drink one with lunch and one while I'm at the gym

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.

Its hard to beat gold standard for value. For flavor ghost is top tier.

We've just been freezing the RTD protein shakes in the flavors we like. Alani Nu makes a few pretty good flavors and the zero sugar vanilla muscle milk is good for adding mix ins but I was actually using it as my go to mid day snack before the creami. I also use the galactic brownie from Pure Protein if I want chocolate but that's my other go to for snack time so I knew it would be good anyway. Fwiw, we did vanilla muscle milk with 1% milk added, spun on light ice cream and then added some smashed up muddy bites (tips of waffle cones filled with chocolate) and it was fkn delightful. Definitely appreciate the powdered milk info though 🤙 Edit: Forgot to mention that I ordered some Ghost sample packets to make and freeze - I know their macros are probably not as good as some other brands but the flavors are good and 🤷‍♀️ Oreo Protein powder = already made cookies and cream lol

Whey protein will not bulk you up it's not high enough in calories. It has a better amino acid profile than vegan options for muscle recovery. Pea protein is definitely grittier than whey and whey generally tastes better. If you're not lactose intolerant Optimum Nutrition Gold standard at Costco is decent bang for your buck. Ghost makes really good tasting whey protein but it's pricier. Revolution makes juice type whey proteins that are pretty good too.

I feel you on the taste and mixability struggle! I recently tried Ghost Whey, and it’s like a milkshake - it mixes super well and tastes great!
