This is Seth Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Just a few results that came up when searched across the forum. This is a pretty common topic as not all protein powders are tastey...http://www.nerdfitness.com/community/showthread.php?9453-Protein-Powder&highlight=protein+powderhttp://www.nerdfitness.com/community/showthread.php?6472-Best-Whey-protein&highlight=protein+powderhttp://www.nerdfitness.com/community/showthread.php?8398-Protein!!&highlight=protein+powderhttp://www.nerdfitness.com/community/showthread.php?8673-Protein-Powders&highlight=protein+powderhttp://www.nerdfitness.com/community/showthread.php?11714-Proteins&highlight=protein+powderhttp://www.nerdfitness.com/community/showthread.php?10377-Protein-Shakes&highlight=protein+powder You ever see those guys who look like they totally used to be in shape?

Max Power Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Optimum Nutrition has the best in my opinion. I think I've got french vanilla. The path to Swolehalla is paved with a lot of Swolehate, and you won't get there without being Swole of Spirit too.

But I've never found the tastes that bad. I slam it down pretty quick though. Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment

notanartmajor Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 If you have a CostCo, they carry big bags of Cytosport for a good price. Mixes pretty well, doesn't taste like crotch. Link to comment

ducatisteve Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I pretty much stick with Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard because the price/performance is good and it's very readily available. My favorites so far are Extreme Milk Chocolate for whey and Chocolate Peanut Butter for casein (the only flavor of casein I've been able to not-hate). 2/13/12 Starting Primal and free weights 10/02/12 Starting LeanGains. Still lifting all the things. Fitocracy Link to comment
djnorris_2000 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I want to give them a try too, but despite searching this forum and Google I can't find anywhere in the UK selling them in anything less than ENORMOUS packs. I really hate drinking things I don't like the taste of and I can't afford to drop £20-£40 on something I won't end up using. Does anyone know where I could get free samples or buy single serving size packs before committing to a huge jar? Link to comment
NukeTheUnicorns Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Definitely Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey.EVERY WORD IN THAT SENTENCE WAS CAPITALIZED Valar Morghulis Link to comment
This is Seth Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Little known secret: if you go to a local supplement shop, nit a huge branch like GNC, they will give you tons of freebies. Tell them you want to buy from them but don't want to commit to drinking chalk.. they should hook you up. My local guy legit gives me a bag of free shit every time I see him. I can't go back because he gives me so many uppers and I get tempted to use them.. again. You ever see those guys who look like they totally used to be in shape? I'm working to get back to that...
