Levels Grass Fed Whey Concentrate (Vanilla) is my current go-to. No problem with it mixed in just water.
Levels grass fed whey. No “natural” flavors either like Transparent Labs tries to sneak into their whey.
I have asked a manager and the sales rep for Levels, and they say for some reason, it has been decided that only Vanilla Bean will be on the floor in Costco for the foreseeable future. Bummer too, as the in-store price is always lower than online (hence, even less during a sale in-store). Double chocolate is still way cheaper with Costco online anyway, but I really wish they stocked it in the stores (like they do with two flavors of ON)
I haven't used any unflavored powder yet. Will try that soon. Levels appears to be one of the cleanest out there (IMHO) versus others. And since I use Costco so much, it's great that they stock it. (albeit, not however, in every store it seems) Would be great if they stocked other flavors, but happy they have two. They do the same with Ascent, only one in stock (vanilla bean). Cheers.
I’m not exactly forcing anything down, but I definitely get tired of a flavor by the end of a tub… so I’ve been rotating powders for a few years now just to keep it interesting. There’s actually a Reddit user who put together [a protein powder comparison tool](https://www.reddit.com/user/Industrious_Bradly1/comments/1mv97y1/comparing_protein_powders_by_brand/) that breaks down a ton of different brands, and it’s been super helpful when I want to try something new. A few I’ve enjoyed: Transparent Labs vanilla, Optimum Nutrition extreme milk chocolate, and Levels unflavored (great for tossing into smoothies). All solid on taste and mixability, just depends on what mood I’m in.
Levels unflavored. Good price
I think Levels is the best that I can find due to: 1) No artificial substances 2) Non-GMO 3) Cheap price point at Costco Only negative I can see is its "Whey concentrate" but it has been third party verified for protein amounts
Try levels protein powder. Costco also has the 5.4 lb version. Was trying to find a clean protein to take twice daily without over consuming trace metals.
Levels without a doubt. And it’s often on sale for $15 off. I’d say Levels >>> ON > Kirkland >>>> Ascent.
ON was best in that regard but I tried Kirkland and Levels AFTER I started GLP-1s and general gastrointestinal discomfort is a common side effect so it clouds everything a bit. I haven’t had any ON while on GLP-1s.
I tried Ascent, Levels, Jocko premixed & Jocko powder. I think the Jocko Vanilla powder was the best. I added vanilla extract, fair life milk & xanthum gum. I spin it & then add it to a pre chilled thermos for my AM break today & loved it. It was soft serve consistency
I’ve used a ton of chocolate from Kirkland and ON. Not a big enough difference for me to care so I go off price. Vanilla wise, ON since Kirkland doesnt have it. I feel like the vanilla ON might be sweet for you. Currently, I’m doing Levels vanilla and chocolate, its the most “real” tasting one of them all IMO, has the best ingredients IMO, and is on sale right now so its a no brainer for me :)
