Quest.. vanilla flavor .. 45g of protein but they are like $5 each so I get a bunch when they are BOGO at Publix
Quest Vanilla Milkshake has 24g of protein for 110 calories. You can mix it with water (not the tastiest option), or do 1/2c water and 1/2c Fairlife nonfat milk (that specific milk adds 6g of protein and 40 calories for 1/2c
i like myprotein, quest is on sale on amazon and its casein mix which is good for cutting, I also like dynamtize. for peak taste quality its ryse hands down.
I'd say the quest 45 vanilla is in the running.
I'm not a fan of them. They are thin and not very sweet. I like nurri. Premiere. Fairlife. Quest.
I hate most of the ones I tried. I must hate the taste of sucralose, because that seems to be a common thread. Note that I don’t care for sweet drinks. I have zero interest in soda and am baffled about why anyone wants to ruin a perfectly good glass of ice tea by sweetening it. So this obviously affects my taste in protein drinks. I won’t go so far as to say I’d drink these just for the flavor, but the two I’ve found that I don’t really mind are Quest 45 vanilla and Koia Elite chocolate. Note that I drink a shake (12-14 oz) mixed with a liter of seltzer.
Fairlife Chocolate (premade) and pretty much any of the Clean Simple Eats! I also enjoyed the Quest Vanilla for a good bulk purchase option.
