Just a generic question. What would you say are your five favorite tasteing MRP’s or protein powder?
I hate to sound like an ass kisser, but I really do beleive that Grow is the best tasting stuff out there, I am currently using SAN’s Infusion and I like it a lot also.
I have not tried Grow, but more people seem to like it than most other MRP’s.
I have tasted a lot of other MRP’s, and chocolate Ultramet definitely tastes the best (although definitely avoid their vanilla - it is horrible).
I’ve not tried Grow either. The best I’ve had so far is Optimum’s Pro Complex Vanilla. It mixes really well (no powder chunks to choke down) and tastes surprisingly good.
LC Grow is awesome.
Muscle Milk is damn good tasting.
One scoop each MM and LC Grow makes some pretty incredible tasting shakes.
My protein consumption history goes way back to the days of Hoffmans protein tablets. They were the worst tasting things I have ever had the displeasure of putting in my mouth!
I have tried almost every major protein supplement from that point (Hoffmans was the very first In the nation I think) up to now. I can say with no reservation that the very best tasting protein supplement on the market, in my opinion, today is Grow!
It’s almost hard to believe that they could get a protein powder to taste that good. I have tried both the Vanilla and Chocolate and both exceeded my expectations.
What I would have given for a can of Grow back in the dark ages when all you had was Hoffmans protein tablets. Anyone else remember those things?
Besides Grow!, my second would be Optimum Nutrition.
Spending the extra couple bucks is definitely worth it in terms of powder. When I first started out buying powders, I bought the cheapest I could find. Something like 5 pounds for $23. Tasted terrible and PWO nutrition should not hurt more than the workout. My roommate also order one and he simply threw it away.
As far as a MRP goes i like lean mass matrix,cinnamon oatmeal,tastes great(probably b/c there is nothing else like it) and it also mixes up very well in just a shaker,so its great for a fast meal on the road.
Dave, I’m using the low carb version and mixing it in with real oatmeal for a P+C meal…tastes really good.
I agree with tme.
LC Grow and Muscle Milk combo is the best taste ever.
Shiggy, They have a low carb version of lean mass matrix,or are you talking about just low carb protein powder in general?
Though I am not a chocolate, I have to say Low Carb Grow chocolate is very good! As far as flavor goes I really like PVL Gourmet Whey, Orange Creamcicle, Mintchip, Strawberry-Bananna. They taste great but they are really sweet and I am not to sure about their protein quality.
TCB: What’s your favorite combo?
I’d have to go with Banana Cream MM + Choc LC Grow.
Although Blueberry MM + Vanilla LC Grow is very good also.
And Mocha Joe with either LC Grow is great too.
Those are all the flavors I’ve tried, but I’m curious what other combos work.
Mine is ProLab Pure Whey Chocolate with skim milk. It tastes so damn good,
Grow tastes ok. For me, the more water I add the better it tastes.
I have only tried a few of the MuscleMilk flavors. Milk Chocolate - awesome. Cookies and Creme - different but very good. Chocolate Peanut Butter - good. Rocky Road - tastes like melted plastic (so avoid this one at all costs).
I prefer the chocolate proteins. I will generally do equal parts (scoop and a half) of Chocolate Milk MuscleMilk and Chocolate LC Grow.
to tme:
also, I started combining them due to the fairly low amount of protein in MuscleMilk in effort to get closer to 50g of protein in a shake. I was suprised by the awesome taste, and the combination of the two products might combine for the perfect protein supplement. Great Proteins, low carbs, ample good fats. So it pretty much has become my mrp staple.
Chocolate low carb Grow all the way! Vanilla is very good and Classic Grow is too, but LC chocolate Grow rocks my world. Nice to know this is high quality stuff too, not just good tasting.
No need to mix with milk to make it taste good either. A protein powder should taste good with plain water and LC grow does that.
Dave, yes, they have the regular version of matrix (with tons of carbs) that comes in the packs. They also have all of the flavors (vanilla, chocolate and cinnaman oatmeal) in a low carb version that comes in a tub like Grow. So I take the lc version of the oatmeal flavor and make it with real oatmeal…tastes good.
My absolute favorite for a P/C meal has to be LC Chocolate Grow mixed with 8oz milk, 8 oz water and a banana. Frickin’ great!!!
Oh ok Shiggy i have had the low carb version in the tub and in fact developed and AWESOME high protein/low carb pancake made with the low carb cinnamin powder.PM me if you would like the recipe…
