Whey Protein Isolate, Unflavored Powder

NOW Foods unflavored whey isolate from Amazon. Runs about $135 for 10lb. Haven’t found a better price on pure whey isolate. For my shakes I add a heaping teaspoon of dutch process ultra-dark cocoa powder, a few drops of sucralose sweetener, and a little bit of NuSalt (it’s a salt substitute that’s pure potassium, so adds some electrolytes and also brings out the chocolate flavor). Tastes exactly like what I remember the ON Double Rich Chocolate tasting like back when it wasn’t so insanely expensive.

Now Sports whey protein isolate unflavored https://a.co/d/dMx2y0z their 10lbs is only $0.81/ounce https://a.co/d/angzsAz ——————— ^ I use this for my overnight oats protein bowl ( I make the overnight oats separate, then add a scoop of protein powder, 1 cup of berry blend; and throw it into a ninja creami; it’s delicious, and the protein powder only has 2 ingredients and you’re getting 25 grams of protein in a 28 gram protein powder serving ( 1 scoop ) = 89.2% protein per serving )

I'm a no frills type of person when it comes to protein powder. I avoid the flavored stuff... I use Now unflavored whey protein isolate in 10 lb bags. If you shop sales, you can usually find it for sub $100 a bag throughout the year (including right now). That's a great value IMO and it has a high protein % per serving. On a side note, I'm working through a bag of their chocolate whey protein isolate that I bought on a whim...it's alright. Not sweet at all, underwhelming flavor profile.

I use NOW brand unflavored whey protein isolate.

Won’t nearly any “whey protein isolate” be free of these? It’s just pure protein with zero fillers. I like MyProtein for super clean and quality. Or NOW brand on Amazon for when I’m on a budget.

Now Sports unflavored whey protein isolate. If I didn't add it myself, I would never know it's in my food/drinks

Fairlife premade shakes are the undisputed king of protein drinks and I don't think it's particularly close. Pretty much just chocolate milk. Jocko is decent also, as far as premades go. For powder, I think it varies a lot depending on what you do with the powder. There are some that taste good but don't mix well, basically requiring a blender. It also depends on your tolerance for artificial sweeteners. Ghost has interesting flavors but have way too much artificial sweetener for my taste. My general preference for powder is an unflavored whey isolate that I can add the flavors to myself (something like NOW Foods Sports Nutrition). If I don't have the time or energy to make it myself, that's what the Fairlife premades are for.
