ON Gold Standard whey protein - What's your favorite flavor?
Currently my top two picks based on intuition and personal taste in flavors are vanilla ice cream and white chocolate. What do you think? Or maybe you can recommend something better?
Tbh I like to buy unflavored protein powder. I put it in smoothies or overnight oats or things with other ingredients. I think the flavored ones have a chemical taste that I've never liked.
I would recommend the vanilla ice cream flavor. I throw it in with my coffee and it ends up tasting like something from Starbucks! I haven't tried any other flavors yet since the bag I'm working on is huge (Costco).
I tried a bunch of the flavors over the years, Rocky road is super good. Goes well with water, and is actually like dessert when you mix it with milk!
Are these actually any good? I have the vanilla ice cream an honestly, to me it still just tastes like protein powder. There's a chemical, milk-y taste that is overwhelming.
I hated the rocky road ice cream flavor I tried. Double rich chocolate has been the best for me. But I agree, they all still have a "protein powder"/fake taste to them. It just matters to what extent for me.
I haven't tried the others, but I absolutely love my caramel toffee fudge one. It's a good thing I like it, because I bought the 5 pound jug.
Now if only I could motivate myself to start working out again so it would get used again...
+1 for Vanilla. It's great for fruit smoothies or mixed with oat milk.
Double Rich Chocolate is my go-to. Pretty mild, not too sweet, not syrupy. My wife has some protein shakes that smell like straight Hershey’s syrup and they make me gag. DRC almost reminds me of the Ovaltine I grew up drinking, though admittedly this is not malty at all. It’s delish.
