Whey protein shake flavours
Discussion
I've been using one of the USN ones from GNC and it tasted really good. The vanilla was just like cake mixture and the chocolate was really chocolatey. So impresses was I that I went in and bought the USN GF1 in large tubs today, expecting it to taste the same.
It doesn't.
The vanilla isn't dreadful but not a patch on the other stuff and I now notice it's "vanilla cream". I also note that the chocolate one is "chocolate cream" so I am expecting that to be equally lacklustre.
Having been caught out I am going to be far more careful when I run out (may be some time). I was thinking about giving Bulk Powders a look. Can anyone recommend any of their flavours?
Try muscle Pharm. their cookies and cream is dangerously tasty IMO, especially when mixed with skim milk. A few others are good too. Dunno about elsewhere in the world but costco sell it cheap in the US. Think I'm on tub number 6 now and only just starting to get bored of it - thankfully their other favors are really good too from what I've tried.
If you're in the UK I always found PhD to be amongst the better tasting brands. Their mint chocolate is lovely.

I got caught out with this once when I bought Strawberry and Cream rather than Strawberry and it was so sickly!
Can't comment on Bulk Poweders but MyProtein Chocolate Smooth is loooovely.
Salt has improved the vanilla a lot. I sprinkled a bit of pink salt into it this morning and it has taken on a porridge sort of flavour.Can't comment on Bulk Poweders but MyProtein Chocolate Smooth is loooovely.
Bulk Powders chocolate peanut and chocolate cookies are nice.
I did buy a tub of Powerbeck chocolate which tastes like a McDonalds milkshake, however I've found recently that it's making me feel sick (probably the excess of sweeteners
)
Ones I avoid are Maximuscle - expensive and tastes like off-cheese
TheProteinWorks - good price and mixes well but seems to leave a chemical aftertaste in my mouth

I like whey shakes, they make me feel like I am eating something naughty.

Choc peanut tastes similar to the snickers / marathon bars

Ooh I'm not so sure. I bought a great big bag of the stuff and am struggling with it. It reminds me of sweet cardboard. I got three other flavours as samples and to make up the order and I am not keen on any of them. They also seem to mix up a bit thin.I personally prefer the QNT and USN stuff.
