Ok, I'm boring as hell, but I really just like Natural Factors, Whey Factors Unflavored, that way I can make it my own
PVL PB Chocolate; it's the only PP that, when I first tasted it, I thought "oh my gosh! this doesn't taste like PP!". :yum: Makes nice, thick smoothie-like shakes, mixes perfectly with oats and makes great PP cakes/"bread" slices. :thumb:

I wasn't able to find PVL PB choc in any stores, so I picked up the Dymatize Butter toffee kind. I'll have to order PVL online. Now I just have to ask Erik how much of the Dymatize I can eat :)

That's too funny. I also really like Choc coconut, but banana nut is my all time favorite. I have cinnamon roll, but I don't really like it that much at all either. For that reason, I have a ton left, but I am running out of Ban Nut and choc coconut. I tried making the loaf with it, but the strange taste was still there.
I've also tried Vanilla...it's good. Chocolate Fudge is gross....Banana creme is lame compared to Banana nut..

I didn't think it was that bad but I ended up just using it to make muffins. The cinnamon taste was too strong for me. I would rather use BSN Whipped Vanilla and add cinnamon to it. :shrug:

AND....am so happy, just recieved my order of ON variety protein pack. 16 different flavor packets for $20. Love it. All the best flavors to, can't wait to start trying them all! I think all brands should do that, so you don't waist $ on a flavor you realize you hate, but have to finish it because it cost to much to through away.

They make thick shakes which I like, hate that thin consistency, and you can eat the Protein delite with a spoon like a pudding :cheat:

I ordered some PP from bodybuilding.com and when it got here, I couldn't get it down, it was that bad. I wrote them an email saying I didn't like the taste, and they gave me instore credit. All I had to pay was the shipping.
So next time you order PP, check out the site and remember you can return it! :-)

So on bb.com they have Dymatize Elite Whey in a bunch of flavors incl. Berry Burst, Smooth Banana and Rich Chocolate; and Dymatize Elite 12 hr. in only 2 flavors (Rich Vanilla and Rich Chocolate).

Yes ma'am!!!:D
Cool- thanks! Wow they only come in 4.4 lb tubs! :blink: $100+ worth of PP. :dry: But at least it's going to last a long time.

I have to say I really dig ON and Syntrax Chocolate Truffle, too - love the isolate PWO, but Goat Whey wins over all them. :)

I didn't reorder PVL, and instead decided to go with Met RX's Peanut Butter Cup. I've heard nothing but awesome things about it, and for the volume, it was much cheaper than PVL. Don't get me wrong, I liked PVL's, but I wasn't a raving fanatic for it by any means. :ban:
I also ordered three others from ON...sugar cookie (I can't WAIT to try it), mocha cappucino, and banana cream.

anyway.....I am kinda new here (6-8 months). however I just signed w/ Erik and just got my plan. I am looking for the best Casien Protein powder you guys may have tried. I don't know which one I should go with. I am looking for results....not taste.

BSN is good-- pretty much all flavors.
ON Casein I like a lot also... in their chocolate supreme flavor.
Again the Dymatize 12hr Elite ;)
And thats because its nice and thick!
OK girl I got my Dymatize Elite 12 Hr and weeeeeeeeeeeeell... do NOT like it. :ban: I only tried the Rich Vanilla and it doesn't taste like much of anything; also, it kinda broke when I made it into a crepe. BSN Whipped Vanilla kills it hands-down when it comes to the true vanilla flavor and consistency. Funny how people's tastes differ! :rolleyes:
So now I have 4.4 lbs of PP I don't like; and I'm afraid to try the Chocolate and Banana-Nut- the smell of both didn't seem as good as BSN. :help:

i've whittled my arsenal down to just Champion Cookies and Cream for PWO and BSN Whipped Vanilla for the M6 "cake" with PB.
At some point pp ceased to be a treat and just became functional routine. Like manicures.

an update on the MHP protein if you let it sit longer it is very :yummy: just mixed it still has a powder taste. I mix it about 30 min before I need it. But I'm scared to bake it.
I might want to buy it off of you :shhh:
Meechel already texted me about it... I guess you two could fight for it! :lol:
I tried the other two flavors and prefer BSN over Dymatize for all of them. :shrug:

So, after re-reading this entire thread, I still have no answers.
BSN Lean Dessert just changed their ingredients on the Chocolate Fudge Pudding from protein all coming from milk to being milk and soy :dry: :sick: :mad:
Makes me so mad! Nothing I've tried so far bakes like LDP and topped with pb, you can't beat it. I've tried Dymatize and thought it was :sick: Wondered if Champion bakes well (we have vanilla and chocolate at Vitamin Shoppe).
Can anyone tell me of a good protein powder that bakes well (will make the protein "cake" in the microwave, or crepes, or whatnot), tastes good and is thick?

04-20-2009, 03:46 PM
I must be :ruloco: because I like Dymatize...cafe mocha and chocolate. BUtter toffee is okay but a little too sweet for me :oops:
I also like ON but we don't have the cool stuff here like you guys in the states have :ban: And they are a little thin.
The Dymatize actually makes a good lava cake in the microwave, imo (outside cooked, soft and gooey in the middle), :shrug:
Gaspari Myofusion, Biotest Metabolic Drive- both very thick, and make excellent "cakes"

Beverly UMP bakes extremely well. Beverly Muscle Provider also bakes well and the chocolate flavor is actually too thick for me, but it does make good "brownies." Of course everyone has a different definition of "tastes good" so you just have to try it yourself to know for sure!
And for anyone trying to avoid sucralose, I gotta give a recommend for Revolutionary Nutrition Bionic Whey. It's not thick (for those who like thick), but it mixes extremely well and tastes great for a stevia-flavored PP. Pina Colada . . mmmmmm.

I've heard that about the UMP, they're just expensive! I'm also interested in seeing if I can find a non-artificial flavor, natural protein that fits this bill (thick, bakes well)

I just bought the Nectar Lemonade flavor today. Fortunately the supplement shop here allows you to sample them before buying and i liked that one out of all the other fruit flavored ones. Hopefully, i'll still like in the weeks to come, i get tired of a flavor very easily.
I'm having a hard time finding a protein powder that doesnt make my stomach turn. They literally make me sick now, so thought i'd quit chocolate for a while.

Wow You are lucky!! Sounds like a great store. Mine doesn't and I have quite a few unused containers of pp that I just can't stand. I wish that more of the companies offered trial packets.
A natural pp I really like is Revolutionary Nutrition (http://www.revolutionarynutrition.com/index.cfm). Their products are stevia-sweetened. They have three products I really like. Their pp is called Bionic Edge Whey. They also blend it with oats, flax, CLA, calcium, and some other minerals, etc. and sell it as a female meal replacement shake (very filling), and I am very lazy (mea culpa) they sell a kit so you can make protein bars by mixing their pp with your choice of nut butter. If you email or call him, he's good about demo'ing his products, you can get him to mail you some travel packs.

I honestly don't think any of them are that great with just water added. Adding a few of my own ingredients (like extracts) can make most any old protein powder taste like an indulgence.
My pick is Jay Robb whey protein powder because it contains no artificial sweeteners, has few ingredients and is the most natural one I have found. I still need to doctor it up to make it good. Unfortunately it is so expensive I can't use it on a daily basis.

BSN Lean Dessert is excellent with just water added. I've made it into a thick 'pudding'-like texture and eaten it with a spoon. :yum:
But yeah... I agree; so far I haven't been able to find a natural PP I really love just plain with water.

The point I'm saying is if you don't want to drink it cause you don't like it or have to doctor it up to make it taste good to you in any way find another source of protein like cottage cheese, chicken, egg whites etc..... The point of a pp is to get extra protein in faster then cooking/eating another source. So why should you make what to last even if your dieting in a PWO situation you have carbs too and even in my case I still get almonds or cheese with it. Savor that kind of stuff :shrug:
And anything will taste good once you have had Isopure. :lol: After a week of drinking that it didn't bother me one bit. But that week was hard to get it down. Eriks words Suck it up Buttercup! Comes to mind. I've even had some nasty MHP stuff. Tasted like chemicals but you get used to it after a while. Same thing goes for food you may not like it at first but your taste buds get used to things

It's hard to pick just one...
Probolic SR Chocolate - I have used for quite some time now (mixed w/other pp to make my bedtime pudding or mixed w/coffee for mocha shake is very good!)
but...
Champion Cookies and Cream and Whey Gourmet PB Choc is awesome blended with cottage cheese and frozen to make my ice cream (that I eat everyday!)
and just got Muscle Gauge Cake Batter and it's pretty good too (usually mixed with one of the others)

No favorites here. I used to try a bzillion different kinds. I gave up... a looong time ago.... on trying to find one that thrills my pallet.
For me, its just a quick, convenient way to get some nutrients down the hatch. As long as it doesn't taste gross, I'm good. Just chug it and get on with my bid'ness.
