I like the Quest peanut butter protein powder. 30g/120cal. I put a scoop in a cup of almond milk and a little coco powder. I think it tastes delicious but I’m a sucker for anything peanut butter.
Quest is unrivaled tbh, esp peanut butter
Avoid: * Naked Nutrition * Huel Once per week: * Garden of Life * Momentous 100% Plant Protein Occasionally: * MuscleMeds * Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass * Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Protein Shake * Jocko Fuel * Vega * Quest * Orgain * Equip Foods * Plant Fusion * Ensure * Muscle Milk * KOS Better Choices for Daily Consumption: * Owyn * Transparent Labs * Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey * BSN * Momentus Whey Protein Isolate * Dymatize * Muscle Tech Only the last one - Muscle Tech - is listed as no limit on safe consumption.
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.
I keep coming back to quest
My favorite vegan protein powders are PEScience Select Vegan and MRM Veggie Elite. And my favorite dairy-based protein powders are PEScience and Quest. As for whole food options - you could add hemp hearts! Pumpkin seeds are pretty high in protein too! Or eggs! And greek yogurt is not a whole food food. But if you're okay with that, you could also add greek yogurt to your oats too!
I like strawberry. For whatever reason, it makes it easier to drink the thick protein shakes. A thick chocolate tastes like motor oil and a thick vanilla tastes like bad milk. Ultimately though, it depends more on the brand. Synth 6 is my favorite powder based on taste, but it is more expensive and lower protein than other options. Premier protein is probably the best all around, but it only comes in chocolate and vanilla. Lately I've been using Quest which I find tastes great and has a lot of protein for very low calories.
Yeah I’ve tried some of those so far the only ones I like are the quest ones which are hard to find, premier protein and nurri which I don’t have a Costco membership for
Orgain has inulin (chicory root), which a *lot* of people process poorly, celiac or not. Try Quest if you can do dairy, or OWYN for a df option.
My favorite is quest's. I'll probably never buy another one unless they change their formula
Quest happens to be my favorite powder.
