MuscleTech Choc Peanut Butter Limited Edition. The taste is good, but the aftertaste🙃 Now using Mutant Whey Strawberry, tastes great and mixes well

Muscletech coffee flavour is also a really good choice, it has 3g creatine per scoop and also tests better

Been using Muscletech for years. Great products - est 1995 vs 1986 for ON. Good price : performance ratio. Nitrotech = 120g protein per day @640 cal + 12g Creatine. 1 tub lasts me 2 weeks if used as per recommendation. $85 from LAC.

Nitro Tech from Muscletech, Kirkland Whey Protein (yes, legit and def my second favorite, inching closer to 1st), and Optimum Nutrition (least favorite). 25 years of training experience.

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.

Nutritech (very expensive now though) Clear Nutrition (price also went up substantially) - a tad sweeter than Nutritech vanilla but still tastes good. Honourable mentions would be Biogen ... MuscleTech is probably the best BUT it's crazy expensive

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.
