I recently bought a tub of Orgain vanilla vegan protein powder at Costco. It's obnoxiously sweet and it's going to take me a long time to get through it. I also bought some unflavored whey protein powder from GNC, their brand. It's not gross, and so far, I have no issue with it. I only use it in smoothies. Neither type gives me digestive/intestinal issues, which I know is problematic for some.
I think you just have to play around with it and find what you like. Trying to find the optimum protein powder for chocolate still. I’ve tried ryze cosmic brownie (amazing texture but it has too strong of an artificial taste for me) and GNCs chocolate so far. I add some sugar free Hersheys syrup on top and cacao nibs to enhance chocolate flavor.
Winning options for me:
I like the base of 200g of fair life and 200g of almond milk
Add a little salt
Monkfruit sweetener over truvia
Sugar free cheesecake pudding mix 1.5T for texture.
Cake batter extract + gnc vanilla protein powder for birthday cake ice cream.
Pb2 + vanilla protein + sugar free Reese’s+ cacao nibs + little chocolate syrup on top. This is so addictive

Go for gnc
U can get it for around 2500 by using code - AKSHAYSHARMA
Their flavours are super hit and way better quality than others in this segment
Have tried atom- uses low quality whey even tho they pass every test
Go for a more reputed and quality brand if u have an option in the same budget segment
Best tasting proteins are from gnc -
All of their flavours taste so damn good
Other which is good- avvatar but for some reason always gave me bloating issues
Gnc digests better and is surprisingly now better priced than our local brands
U can use code - AKSHAYSHARMA on the official gnc site to get best price on any product
Also check out their crazy deal section- sometimes prices are even better than offline market
Alternate between Amul and GNC. I try to buy Amul whenever the chocolate flavor is unavailable but sadly, it's out of stock mostly.
GNC sometimes sends me credits which I can use to get a flat 30-400 rupees off on my order. They have this "Buy 3 for 5499" offer and I use that to buy my creatine as well. Do keep in mind it's 1 whey protein (52 servings) and 2 supplements.
Overall I'd recommend Amul just for how affordable it is. Tastes great too
I am currently cutting and Whey protein is obviously great but it does cause bloating to me everytime, I take it, now I just take it on Tuesdays, when I don't eat non veg.
Now I rather prefer
250g Chicken breast
5 whole eggs
100g Greek Yoghurt
I manage to get around 100g-110g Protein with 1700-1800 calories which I feel is fair enough.
However yes, if whey protein didn't cause me issues, it would have been much easier for me 😭
I have tried GNC, ON, Avvatar, MB, Nakpro, Nutrabay
And all of them did give me bloating.
I take 2 scoops of Whey on Tuesday now, when I don't eat non veg, and add some more Greek Yoghurt and Low fat paneer.
