I’m loving https://revolution-nutrition.com/us/product/high-whey?sku=12008028 right now! I do buy the big ass bags and the value is unmatched but they do have 2lb/24 serving tubs for a reasonable cost. The birthday cake in a creami pint with cake batter extract is delightful. I also use the cookie dough ice cream which has a much more subtle flavor but with PB fit and butterextract it’s still delicious. I got some of my lifting pals into this brand and they all swear by the cookies and cream which will be next on my order list, probably try chocolate hazelnut too!
Hey everyone! Like all of us here, I have a hard line on avoiding as many American made products as possible, but have been struggling in a few areas recently. One is leafy greens which I've completely given up on because in the G.T.A. I would have an easier time finding the holy grail. The other is protein powders...
I've seen tons of posts on this sub about different options for different proteins, but due to some underlying health concerns, my selections are super limited. I have been sporadically using Revolution High Whey, but I can't have a lot of dairy and thus I try to avoid whey and whey isolates. I thought the answer would be vegan powders, but they tend to severely upset my stomach, and sadly Good Protein has been the absolute worst for this, with the formerly Canadian Vega being a close second. Does anyone have any other suggestions for vegan protein powders that might be a bit easier to digest? I've read that Genuine Health fermented vegan protein powder is easier on the digestive system, so if there is any feedback there as well I would gladly accept it.
\*\*EDIT\*\* - Thank you everyone!!! This feedback has been awesome!!! This has been a hug help!!!
Per scoop you're consumign 5g of filler compared to ON gold standard, also no way to tell how much lead is in this.
I suggest waiting for a sale its only 25% more to buy ON which is another universe of better quality than this.
Yeah 5g per scoop is crazy, if you consume 2 bags you're eating over half a kilo of filler (600g+) which is wild.
I will gladly pay the slight premium for ON over the sawdust mystery powder. Also it's only 67% protein by weight which is what the worst protein powders have.
There's a reason this is cheap.
Cheap price, cheap quality.
You're eating 5g of filler with each scoop compared to ON. No good.
I buy the ON bags for $69 on sale which in total cost is only 25% more than this stuff, and when you break it down into price/protein content its only 10% more. My longterm health is worth this small price.
I get my bags on sale at $69.
Which is a little more expensive (only 25% more per weight for known quality, less filler, no bloat, good mixability, known contaminants like lead being low and significantly higher actual protein content is worth it. This is bottom-barrel stuff its like 67% protein by weight)... If you consume 2 bags of this thats over half a kilogram of mystery filler powder i'd rather not ingest.
I broke it down by price per actual protein content and it end up being only 10% more than ON when its on sale ($36.45/kg for ON versus $32.87 for whatever this mystery powder is). So yeah, I will gladly pay a meaningless amount more for actual quality product that I have to consume... Not sure where you got 2x more from but the actual price difference for protein content is 10% if you actually use math, these bags are also smaller so you have to factor that in.
I buy them once or twice a year when they go on sale for $69.99 (but i'd pay the $89 if I had to choose between this and bottom-tier protein.... which even at regualr price would be 59% more per kg not double lol).
Yes, 75% is a really good figure. 67% is bottom barrel, but if you like consuming 600g+ of filler per 2 bags and getting a low quality protein with unknown lead levels for only 10% difference in cost per protein content then you do you... I'm not going to risk my health over a couple bucks to drink filler mystery powder.
I used to get this stuff but I now just spend $5 more and get the Revolution Nutrition High Whey protein on Amazon. Has some of the most delicious flavours I've ever had in a protein shake.
>How would you know that the results would be the same?
Been around a while and I have tried both.
>If you’re cool with concentrate which I am, there are far more economical options.
Sure, but this has by far the best tasting protein I have ever had.
>But probably not one I’d be endorsing.
I wasn't asking you to endorse it - I was merely explaining why I think it's worth the extra $5 compared to Gold Standard. Basically it tastes better and it works the same.
