Disclaimer:
If I did not like a flavor or a brand it is in no way the fault of the vendor I
purchased it from. The only reason I am listing the websites the
samples/containers were purchased from is in the event you want to try it for
yourself.
Dymatize
Elite is not very flavorful and you can’t add pudding mix to it, makes it taste
funky. I was a fan of the butter cream toffee, but other brands make it too
(toffee caramel fudge!). Dymatize does mix very well and makes a very smooth
shake, so if you aren’t into heavy flavors, this one might be for you.
Sweetened only with Acesulfame Potassium.
Dymatize
Egg is kinda salty. It’s the only egg protein I’ve tried and I am totally
turned off. My sweet shakes should not taste salty.
Got
my samples from VitaLady.com in case you want to try for yourself
Nature’s
Best Iso-Pure Zero Carb Powder (I have not tried the RTDs) has a light flavor
like the Dymatize Elite and a saltiness like the Dymatize Egg protein. I’ve
tried the Chocolate, Vanilla, Banana Cream, and Pineapple-Orange-Banana and all
four hit my salty-buds. I’m giving up here, which is a shame. They sweeten ONLY
with Splenda which is deemed safe for pregnancy. Oh well, the search goes on!
These
samples came from VitaLady.com (chocolate and vanilla) and NashuaNutriton.com
(banana cream) I bought the Pineapple-Orange-Banana outright cuz I couldn’t find
a sample and wanted to try it really badly (SupplementWarehouse.com)
Ultimate
Nutrition is a great company, getting samples from them was easy and quick.
They sent me the ProStar chocolate, vanilla, and cookies n crème. The chocolate
and vanilla were a little too sweet for me, but I fell in love with the cookies.
No other cookie protein compares to this one. It’s not too sweet and doesn’t
seem to have anything added unnecessarily.
Got
the samples direct from UltimateNutrition.com, bought the containers from
SupplementWarehouse.com I’ve bought, the 2, 5 , and 10 pounds containers
because it is just that good. Working on my 10 pound one right now (purchased
in January).
On the
subject of Cookies and Cream: ANSI has the Flurry series, one in Oreo, one in
M&M both are crazy sweet and sometimes can really hit the spot, but I
cannot drink either on a regular basis due to the extreme sweetness.
SupplementWarehouse.com had them on clearance and at $30 for 5 pound containers
I decided to give them a whirl. Son and husband are finishing up the Oreo one
for me.
More
Cookies and Cream: Nutrex Underground: Chocolate, Vanilla, and Cookie Monster.
These are very sweet and strong. You can get free samples of 4 different
products at underground.nutrex.com and pay for shipping. Their Hemo-Rage pre
workout powder and shots are awesome. Orange Cremation is the best tasting of
the powders in my opinion.
NOW
foods, I will get more into them when I review supplements, because I use them
for a lot of vitamins and I love them, I even buy their kids vitamins for my 3
year old, but apparently they also make protein powder. Their Caramel Toffee
Fudge Whey powder is sweetened with Stevia and tastes great. It’s a little
light on the flavor, but the more I drink it the more I love it. I’ve not been
able to get samples out of them yet, but they make cookies n cream, vanilla,
chocolate, and strawberry too. The Caramel Toffee Fudge and Cookies and Cream can
be found in single serving packs (box of 14) at LuckyVitamin.com and I think
Netrition.com has them too. Totally worth checking out. I think you can get the
chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry in as small as 1 lb containers (as big as 5
I believe)
One
more before I end this, Celebrate Vitamins has a line of ENS protein powders.
Simply put, it’s a protein powder with your multivitamin and calcium (500mg)
integrated in each serving, you take two a day for your vitamin requirements,
1000mg calcium, and 50gm protein, not bad I say. It’s a little pricey over all,
but hey, it might be worth it to you. CelebrateVitamins.com and NashuaNutrition
both have samples (Celebrate I believe is free). Cake Batter: is EXTREMELY
sweet, made me ill, I couldn’t handle it at all
Strawberry:
kinda bland, luckily not overly sweet, the only strawberry protein I’ve liked
at all so far
Chocolate:
this one is awesome and worth the money you’d have to spend on it (remember you
are getting protein, multivitamin, AND calcium in this)
I’ll
touch more on Celebrate Vitamins when I review supplements
