Best tasting Protein?

Retro · 28-Sep-06, 08:21 AM

Hey all, I bought protein for the first time around 2 months ago and although it tasted OK as first, I quickly realised it was the most disgusting tasting thing I've ever consumed.

I bought: Strawberry Flavoured SOYA powder

So I'd like to ask, what kind of Protein is the best tasting?

I'm not expectng something that tastes amazing, just something bareable.

I'm in the UK so would appreciate brands available over here.

Cheers!

Soy is vile. I quite like Eas at least it mixes well

Eas being a brand of type of protein?
Thanks for the reply and I'd agree, pretty sure I read about it tasting well before I went out and bought it.

Personally I think the best tasting is GNC brand, but I haven't bought that in a long time. ON or trueprotein are good too.

EAS brand one of the hioghest percentages of protein you can get no crap added and independantly validated.

maxgain, since u live in ireland i was wondering what kinds u tried - i noticed in Holland&Barrett they have Body Fortress on sale, have u ever tried that? The kind i got before was USN brand Vanilla, its not bad.

to the original poster - i bought chocolate soya protein once one sip was all i took - it is the vilest tasting ever! yuck. Go with whey.

Optimum nutrition- only 4 euro cheaper than EAS so dont bother.
Maximuscle - what a rip
Schwarz- dont like it
EAS my favorite

Using Bodyfortress at moment 17 euro for 2 pounds is good-out of EAS. Taste is not great only about 75% protein content and cant make my normal breakfast shake makes it too thick. Would never pay full price but cant go wrong at half.
They have this one half price sometimes protoplex a caesin whey and multivitamin shake. 48 satchets (40g protein) 25 euro when half price. Mix in milk for a thick nice strwawberry flavor high caesin shake at night.

i dunno all i know is that i hated taking protein shakes for a while until i found ON and its good stuff.

I'm going out tomorrow to buy Whey Protein then, will have a look out for 'ON' (the brand sold in the UK?), or EAS. Anything but Soya should be ok, or at least tolerable.

My vote goes to ON also. Their gold standard double chocolate just tastes like really good chocolate milk.

One I would recommend staying away from is allthewhey.com strawberry whey isolate, the stuff made me gag, I still have 5 lbs of it sitting in a cupboard.
