Everybody has different tastes by I've tried about 15 different brands and for me it's PE Science and it's not even close. Their peanut butter cookie and snickerdoodle flavors are the only protein powder you can mix solely with water and have it still taste like a milkshake. Everything else you either need to add milk or other mixins to make them taste bearable, which also adds extra calories to each shake.
I've tried somewhere between 10-15 different brands (including every one mentioned so far in the comments here) and PeScience is head and shoulders above everything else. Like it's not even close. Snickerdoodle and Peanut Butter Cookie are my top two and especially because they mix incredibly well with just water. The other flavors are also great but definitely need milk or they taste too watery.

For powder, I am a DIE HARD Devotion Nutrition user. I also don't mind the PE Science Snickerdoodle--ONLY the Snickerdoodle. I don't like the texture of it but the flavor is good. I do not make shakes with them, I cook them. The only shakes I drink are premade Fairlife Nutrition, Nurri and Premier.
For bars, I was a huge David fan until their fuckery with the EPG ingredient, so now I am just finishing those and will likely just go back to Barebells or something.
Hey guys, For some reason I I donāt like some of the āgoatedā mainstream protein powders.
I was so addicted I would just us water + ryse protein powder and that would be enough, however addictions slowly fade away and you start cravings some luxurious tasting stuff.
**What I love but now kind of bored of:**
* Ryse protein (Chocolate cookie blast, Peanut Butter cup, Cosmic Brownie), I have eaten 6 pints per day of these for about a year. Served me well
* Ghost whey (Slowly hated the chipās ahoy, noticed it wasnāt rly my cup of tea, I loved the Coffee Ice cream)
* Muscle Sport Lean Whey (overall I did not mind the flavors, I can finish a tub even tho it wasnāt my favorite flavor)
* PandaSupps (I like their formulations but need to find the perfect flavor, ordered some more)
**What I tried and rly tried to love but couldnāt:**
* PEScience, I tried so many times and so many flavors, they just never hit home for me. (chocolate truffle, CnC was very cream heavy)
* 1up, their protein powders were rly cream flavor heavy
* Axe and Sledge (C&C, Chocolate macadamia)
* Legion (Salted caramel, dutch chocolate)
* Transparent labs (used to love their dark chocolate but flavor was too mild after a while)
* Myprotein (Several chocolate flavor, salted caramel)
* Jocko Molk (chocolate, didnāt mind it but didnāt topple ryse, wasnāt worth it for me)
* Applied Nutrition (Choco Beuno, White choco Beuno)
* Isopure (chocolate)
* Mre Lite (Chocolate, Fudge Brownie)
* Clean Simple Eats (brownie batter)
* Dymatize (Cocoa Pebbles, flavor werenāt rly strong for me)
* Ekkovision (Tiramisu, Brownie batter)
* Fairlile milk + vanilla extract was abysmal IMO
* Orgain (tasted rly weird, maybe its the plant-based formulation)
* Optimum Nutiriton (l was hesitant to put this, last time I used it was 2022/23, at the time it wasnāt rly good, but they could have improved so. I tried their chocolate/vanilla, milk was okay but with water, I didnāt like it)
**Btw: this has been a very expensive trial and error but worth it.**
**Final notes:**
It sounds like I am a pain to recommend to, hopefully someone as messed up as me can be helped.
As you notice I am chocolate heavy advocate, Idm a vanilla here and there if itās amazing, lean whey and panda supps vanilla are great.
**Flavors I despise, (or maybe haven't tasted good one):**
* I donāt like mint (non-negotiable)
* pure peanut butter flavored
* fruity/cream heavy flavors as you see. For example strawberry shortcake by ryse was more cake/cream than pure strawberry.
**Possible flavor/goals:**
* I guess the best case scenario for me would be a great vanilla which I think I have, but have never found a good salted caramel (awaiting my panda supps order)
* Also Biscoff (cookie butter)
* But as you see I like chocolate, chocolate hazelnut, Ferraro Roche/Nutella vibes
I get tempted to re-order most protein I donāt like from the sheer positive reviews they get.
**Attempts:**
I have tried normal cacao, very expensive dutch powders, black cacaos and expensive vanilla bean extracts. They all just try and mask the protein flavor and are dominant, I donāt like the intense dry pure cacao flavor
For example when I use a 1Tbsp of Dutch chocolate it overrides any flavor and I just taste that powder, it doesn't seem to blend, just overpower. If i use too little, I can't even sense it's there.
I like rich/luxurious gelato/Haagen-Dazs/Lindt vibes.
Sorry for the long post. I hope I am not being annoying and hope someone can help me out š.
Edit: I donāt mind other solutions as well, anything that would work and is not a calorie bomb.
I am trying to replicate PinkBerryās Chocolate Hazelnut rn, I hate normal yogurt and love Greek. I know Pinkberry uses yogurt but their chocolate hazelnut is heavenly.
Iāve heard Pescience can have bad batches and some bad flavors. But panda suppsās flavors are never a miss IMO. They have a very good choc pb, and a biscoff variant called salted caramel biscuit. Both are very good. Iād def put my money on Panda supps. I order my protein from the US to the middle east. So I rly have to pick the best of the best as itās expensive to ship. I pick panda supps for their great blend and flavors and also I like core nutritionals and also one vote for muscle sport lean whey (its an isolate but their flavors are very good, they just restocked their protella (nutella flavored), and their dubai chocolate. Iād say every protein brand has a specific flavor I like, for pescience many praise their cake flavors and vanilla, panda supps nail those vanilla/biscoff flavors, muscle sport lean whey nail those niche flavors.
I just blindly ordered 2 tubs of lean whey dubai chocolate cuz Iām that confident. I also ordered a sample pack of pescience CnC, i didnāt like it at first but thinking of using their CNC with oreos as mix-ins to āfixā the flavor
I didnāt mention ON because last time I used it was 2022/23, at the time it wasnāt rly good, but they could have improved so I didnāt mention it. I tried their chocolate and vanilla, with milk its okay but with water, I didnāt like it
