Protein Powder

I use the Isopure whey unflavored protein also. One scoop in a bowl with nonfat plain Greek yogurt and one tablespoon SF pudding mix. Top with berries (if you defrost frozen berries a bit, the juices are kind of like a syrupy sauce too). I also use the Quest Cinnamon Toast Crunch protein powder in baked goods. My favorite is to make a pumpkin soufflé.

I really like quest cookies and cream. Just bought the ghost but haven’t tried it.

I’ve tried the Quest Strawberry Milkshake protein and it’s actually pretty close to strawberry milk, not too chalky. Might be worth a shot if you’re chasing that nostalgia.

If you are not averse to artificial sweeteners, I highly recommend Quest powders. They are the creamiest/least gritty and the Salted Caramel flavor is amazing. 1 scoop of Quest Salted Caramel is 26gm of whey protein per serving. I use two scoops with some cashew milk and water, mix it thoroughly in a shaker bottle then let it sit up in the freezer for about 45 minutes; this thickens it and it is like a McDonald's milkshake. If I make a shake this way I can get 50gm in one meal.I sometimes add some pumpkin pie spice in which I find gives it an almost eggnog like flavor. I use these as either breakfast on a day I do not work out or as my post workout recovery meal.

Has anyone tried this and Quest chocolate protein powder? Which do you prefer? I love quest chips and protein bars but the powder is just so so.

I’m a big fan of Quest’s Cinnamon Crunch flavor. I usually mix it with half almond milk, half kefir, and add a tbsp of chia seeds. Tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

The optimum nutrition cookies and cream is the best bang for your buck imo. To me, it tastes much better than their vanilla flavor and is just as versatile. I make waffles, muffins, overnight oats, etc with it pretty regularly. I also really enjoy the Quest cinnamon crunch flavor for specific things like French toast and cream of wheat. Both taste good and are relatively inexpensive compared to some other brands.
