Review of Protein Supplements by taste:

Lifer
PVL Whey Gourmet - Dark Chocolate Mousse
Excellent tasting chocolate... one of my favorites.

PVL Whey Gourmet - Mocha Java Madness
Another of my favorite... on par with the Dark Chocolate Mousse.

Prolab Advanced Whey Protein - Chocolate
Been using this one for the last year actually. I judge everything else by this pretty much. It's got an ok flavor, might be a tiny bit powdery... i sometimes add a tablespoon of peanut butter to this for added taste.

Prolab Advanced Whey Protein - Cookies and Cream
Omg, i just tried this... and this is now my absolute favorite. I just can't believe how sweet this is... and yet it still only contains 2g of carbs. mmmm i can definitely see myself finishing this before i finish the others.

Prolab Advance Whey - Orange Vanilla Swirl
Wow, this was actually good. It reminds me a lot of an ice-cream bar i use to have when i was little, it had an orange cream covering, and ice cream inside. Quite refreshing taste actually. Ah, i remember what that icecream was called... Orange Creamsicle... that's what it tastes like.

Optimum Nutrition - Chocolate
Decent... i prefer the Prolab Chocolate just slightly above this one.

Optimum Nutrition - Strawberry
Absolutely horrible. Worst tasting crap i've ever had. And to think i got 5lbs of this. I haven't even gone through a quarter of it, and i don't think i will... i'll most likely dump this in the garbage or give it to somebody that wants it. I tried everything to make this taste good... strawberry syrup (the kind for the milk), actual fresh strawberries, heaps of sugar... NOTHING will make this even halfway decent so i can swallow it.

Optimum Nutrition - Chocolate Mint
Wow, another good tasting one. This and the Prolab Cookies and Cream are by two all time favorite now i think! And it looks like SNDCanada (where i bought all these supplements from) has dropped the Optimum stuff in price since i last bought them on Friday... oh well!

Designer Whey - French Vanilla
Ack... tastes SOUR for some reason. Almost like buttermilk. But once i added a couple of tablespoon of sugar, it was fine... but still, i shouldn't need to. Not too sure if my batch was bad or not, but this was awful. Generally Designer stuff are pretty tasty.

EAS Myoplex MRP - Chocolate
I figured since this has like 26g of carb, it would be pretty creamy, so i used pure water.... and damn, it was still too creamy. It's like swallowing chalk. The taste is alright, but for 20g of protein, it's just way too thick. I would need to take 2 packets to get 40g of protein... and i'm having a hard enough time swallowing just one pack, no way i could do two... especially if i want to eat as well. The taste is alright, below Optimum and Prolab though IMO.

EDIT: added Prolab Cookies and Cream review.
added Optimum Chocolate Mint
added EAS Myoplex
Added Prolab Advance Whey - Orange Vanilla Swirl

It's decent... especially for the price. If you find you're getting tired of the taste, just add some peanut butter to it.
 
i've been using EAS Whey Protein for almost a year. The vanilla flavor works when i'm making smoothies and chocolate milk.

Yeah, EAS are generally one of the most expensive ones out there... so i haven't really tried them too often except when friends gave me some.
 
I've never seen PVL here in TX...must be a Canada only thing or something

Let us know how the Prolabs Cookies and Cream tastes.....they had some samples of their energy/protein bar at the gym last week....had kind of the same raw dough texture to it that most protein bars do but it tasted surprisingly good....makes me want to go buy a box or two

THe most expensive one? Not true, one of the reason i like EAS is because it's one of the cheapest out there. I usually bought them from shopping.yahoo.com wont cost anymore than $32 including shipping for 5 lb.

Yeah, that's right... PVL is Canadian only i think. I remember looking up google to see what the competitors prices were, and only a couple of Canadian sites sold them.

And yeah, i'll like you know the Cookies and Cream tomorrow.

I'm not sure about supplements... but i've bought prohormones from him. It's illegal in the US now, and was illegal in Canada when i bought it... but he shipped it to me here in Canada indiscretely and it went through customs just fine... and this was right after the 9/11 bit too. Great guy too!!

He also actually pays out of his own pocket, to have the supplements like protein tested... if you go to bodybuilding.com, you'll find some of his tests on the message board. Since he started the website, he may have stopped posting the results on the message board and put them on his website instead though.
 
Yeah, he has put them on his site... go to Article and go to Product Testing... he was Product Testing the stuff before he even started selling.

how much is that $/gram protein?
Click to expand...

I'm not sure to be honest... they're all downstairs in the kitchen atm... but all of them are pretty much 27-32g of protein per serving... i'm not a stickler when it's only 5g or so difference. The most expensive is definitely Designer... i don't normally buy them, but i like French Vanilla... i just hated the one Designer version that i bought.
 
Designer Whey Vanilla doesn't taste sour to me. No sugars so its a bit plain altho not bad at all, but if its desired, a little frutcose and it tastes very good.

I love the stuff, very high quality.


/edit: nice thread, thx for posting the feedback/links.
 
nice review. i use GNC's mega whey protein. i have the gold card, so i usually get it 20-30% off. still expensive though.

It's actually French Vanilla that i tried... i tried the plain Vanilla years ago, and it was excellent.

How is GNC's product? Does it taste good? I was planning on stopping by there today and using my gold card as well.
 
GNC's product tastes pretty farking bad the last time I tried it (2 years ago) - literally tastes like mud (the chocolate one). If you can stomach the taste then go for it

Damn, looks like I might be picking up some of that C&C stuff for myself 🙂 Did you mix it with water or milk?

I mixed it half and half in the morning... half 1% milk, and half water. After a workout it's full milk though.
