I have been taking Muscletech Whey Gold for over 2 years now and I have IBS. I tolerate it really well and they now have a Gourmet line.

Optimum Nutrition, Dymatize Elite and Nitrotech are the best whey options. Amul sachet mixability is very low. You can mix only half sachet in a normal shaker. So it makes us drink 2-4 times depending on the need. In a good mixable protein, the entire scoop should dissolve in a normal 750ml shaker.

I’m forced to buy it as I have to consume 2 Scoops daily.Which was not possible with Nitrotech. Hence I was forced to switch to Nakpro. Nitrotech was extremely superior protein & had better taste than Nakpro.

I'm Aussie and have the deluxe also. Vanilla is the hardest flavour to nail! I've almost given up on it My favourite recipe at the moment is 300ml so good chocolate almond milk 30g violet crumble protein powder 80g greek yoghurt Guar gum 1/4tsp Top up to the max fill line with skim milk You could sub whatever flavour protein powder you have I've also found muscle tech vanilla ice cream flavour protein powder gives best vanilla flavour so far but still not loving it. Maybe I need to add sweeteners Frozen fruit mixed with yoghurt and almond or skim milk also turns out nice with natural sweetness (I've done a mango and a raspberry version so far)

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.
