Favorite protein powder

[artichokie]

I usually use Orgain but wonder if there’s a better tasting one out there. I eat protein during my day but like to add a scoop to coffee, yogurt, etc for added protein.

If you use pp, what kind and flavor do you like and use?

I like the premixed premier protein shakes, but my husband is a big fan of Optimun Nutrition Gold Standard. He usually gets the Extreme Chocolate flavor.

I use optimum nutrition double chocolate. I just add water and drink it as a shake though, so not sure if it’s exactly what you are looking for. It’s one of the better tasting protein powders I’ve tried.

I love this stuff! (not good if you cannot do dairy)

We use Orgain, are you using the unflavored one?

We put it in coffee, shakes, etc. and have never tasted it.

I use the chocolate fudge.  I like it, but don't like the vanilla.

I like vanilla ice cream Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard whey protein.

H uses the dark chocolate Simply Tera’s whey protein.

Obviously not for everyone.

I'm struggling with my weight. Would there be a benefit to adding some protein powder to my day? Is there an unflavored one that you can add to anything? I've never looked into them before.

Yes. It helps you stay full longer and also helps keep your muscle mass if you're not too active.

I use the Optimum Nutrition as well. I get it in 5 lb. bags from Costco. The chocolate is better tasting than the vanilla.

Orgain. I mix two scoops of vanilla in a cup of FF Greek yogurt. Add just a splash of water, berries and a few extra dark choc chips. Almost 50 g of protein and it keeps me pretty full. I have it for breakfast or lunch almost every day. It's not the *most* delicious but it's perfectly fine and filling for a quick meal.

I do True Nutrition. They have lots of options (whey, soy, pea, hemp, different collagens) - I do the soy. Lots of flavor options and you can customize with boosts (greens, vitamins, flax seed, whatever). Is it the best tasting? No. But it's economical, you can get as much or little as you want (like you can get a 16 lb bag if you so desire - that's a lot, lol) and you don't have to get it in a plastic tub.

I have a protein smoothie every morning. Keeps me full for hours.

If I'm really trying to lose weight, I go a little higher protein and do a few smoothies a day. It's not great to do long term, but sometimes I'll do it for a few weeks just to get my weight/hunger under control so I don't have to buy new pants.

Yup, this is what my husband has used for years - we get it at costco.
