Pretty much every high quality whey isolate I’ve used has made a good creami. I like Legion Athletics, RAW Nutrition and Transparent Labs for an assortment of flavors
Legion Athletics, RAW Nutrition and Transparent Labs have been my go to’s. They mix well and all have been great for making protein ice cream or mixing in with a matching flavored cream of rice. Haven’t tried baking with them yet but that’s next on the list.
1oz water to every 10g RAW Nutrition grass-fed whey isolate. 16g almond butter. Immersion blender. Freeze normal 24hr, ice cream setting, 1 respin. Enjoy
They taste pretty natural, one that is on par or maybe even a little better is the Legion Athletics grass fed whey isolate vanilla. In the Creami I’d give them both about a 9.2/10
RAW nutrition isolate. It tastes miles better than all the other brands I've tried and I haven't seen any reports about quality and ingredient issues. All the brands of protein shakes taste better cold also just FYI.
They all have sweeteners in them except the unflavored powders. Some brands I find the sweeteners less intense. My top pick is RAW Isolate but Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard is okay too for flavored. Recommend mixing them with a lighter tasting milk like unsweetened almond or skim and even add some water. You can do all water too but I find it doesn't compliment the powder flavors.
I keep buying RAW grass fed whey isolate dark chocolate 🍫 tub from Sam’s Club.
I LOVE the RAW itholate protein powder in the vanilla oatmeal cookie flavor 🙂. 25g protein per scoop, 3g carbs, 0g fat. blends in amazingly with smoothies and never tastes chalky or has any chalky texture. If anyone has thoughts on this one let me know! Or if anyone knows of a better one! I’ve literally only ever used this one lol
I buy a lot of health supplements online and I have been seeing a huge surge of suspicious products lately. There are many "official" stores claiming to sell American health supplements with the U.S. FDA approval, but the brands do not exist anywhere in the U.S. and the font that they use is commonly used by Chinese businesses. I never used to care about the Thai FDA approval, but I now notice that even legit American brands like NOW Foods sold on Shopee or Lazada have Thai FDA approval numbers to separate themselves from these dodgy ones. On the other hand, I tried asking for the U.S. or Thai FDA approval number from those fake "official" stores and they were never able to provide me ones. They just kept confirming that they have the approval without anything to show. Having said that, Merry is fine. It's a local company with a Thai FDA approval. I've been using their products. However, I contacted them to ask about their protein powders and was told that they all contain caffeine, so I didn't buy from them. I've tried AW Nutrition and Marwell on Shopee. They're fine.
