| With the prices of protein skyrocketing I'm sure you guys will appreciate this. Vitamin shoppe is doing a pretty much unadvertised buy one get one 50% off sale on body tech and Vshoppe brand products. So I just got 11 lbs of whey pro (24g per scoop) for $56. Normally I'm a stern ON fan on all protein products but I saved over 20 bucks so I'm content. |

| How's the VShoppe brand taste? I once tried the house GNC protein and that tasted like fermented shit. |

| Haven't even tried it yet. I used up my last ON 100% whey today so I should know tomorrow what it tastes like. Can't be that bad. And even if it is, oh well. I'm poor and I consume over 250 grams of protein a day so It'll do. (Mostly chicken, I hate chicken now). |

| Vshopp isnt bad if you know someone working there either... My buddy hooked me up with RTD muscle milks... 24 pak for 26 bucks. I personally have never tried their protein though. The friend that works there said he uses it and it taste pretty good.. |

| Let me how it tastes. What flavor did you get? |
| Posted by: vanthehentai Apr 14 2008, 10:10 AM |
| Vanilla. They didn't have strawberry and I can't handle the fake chocolate flavor in protein shakes. So I usually do vanilla, banana, or strawberry. |

| Not as good a price but I know where you can get 11lbs of Whey for 69 bucks online all the time.. PM if anyone is interested. |

Is $69 considered a steal  I've stuck to my source for over a year now. 10lbs of Whey Isolate for $65  |
| Posted by: miggyg Apr 14 2008, 12:43 PM | ||||
I cant find a better deal then the 11 for 69...at the local store here the cheapest Whey they have is 5lbs for 65 lol..thank god for the internet an my credit card! |

| I have had their chocolate mint before, when i was strapped for cash...it is thicker and more minty tasting than ON, which is the only other mint choco chip i have tried |
| Posted by: vanthehentai Apr 19 2008, 06:05 AM |
| I'll admit it doesn't taste as good as ON. But it's tolerable. It tastes a little more bland and has that sort of artificial sweetener feel to it. Does BN make bulk protein? That would b sweet. Unrelated question, I remember the BN CEE tastes like regurgitated rat poisen, is there CM tolerable? I've been using CM lately instead of CEE due to taste and price. |
| Posted by: Jayv24 Apr 19 2008, 11:39 AM | ||
That WOULD be cool if BN sold some bulk protein....id buy it regardless of taste if it was cheap enough. Every 3-4 weeks im using 5 lbs of ON. It adds up. Anyway yeah, the BN creatine mono is tasteless/odorless. Mixes well with anything. Perfect for post w/o shakes where as CEE tastes like someone peed in your shake. |

| BUMP! Whats the best price out there right now for decent protein powder? Been using Dymatize and that stuff has been pretty good as far as recovery, taste, and digestion. $33/5lb and $65/10lb best I've seen for Dymatize, but willing to switch if its got the enzymes, a good ratio of BCAA's, and is good preWO. |

| i bought some Body Fortress Premium Whey Protein at walmart a couple weeks ago. 2.5g of Fat 1 g of saturated fat 65mg of Cholesterol 150mg of sodium 250mg of Potassium 5g carbs <1g of dietary fiber 1 g of sugars 20g of Protein Price: 11.97 @ Wal-Mart Servings: 30 Nutritional Facts: 110 Calories 25 from fat not too bad. that ON classic whey isnt bad either a lot of times protein powder will taste bad when u first switch to it, but then u get used to it and like it. most choc wheys are good to me if u blend them with oats and PB. syntha-6 is prob the best tasting imo. not the best deal around tho |

| I got that protein from Walmart once when I ran out of my usual brand. I liked it. It was the vanilla flavor. I think 90% of protein powders taste fine. I've tasted many. The only two that were completely disgusting to me were GNC brand strawberry whey and all flavors of allthewhey.com except cinnamon bun. |
| Posted by: goodskie Jun 2 2008, 04:37 PM |
| ya GNCs strawberry was the one i was actually thinking about that was god awful. i got used to it tho. their choc is good and most other flavors are too. i usually just get choc whey but some more expensive proteins have great flavors. all of sytha-6s are good. freak fix is actually awsome. i only got those when i'd take returns when i worked at gnc tho. now its back to cheap choc whey |
| Posted by: bdunndchi Jun 2 2008, 06:51 PM |
| GNC strawberry is the worst i've ever tasted. I usually don't mind any protien powder, but that's a diff story.<br><br><br> |

| Haha, picked up some Choc Body Fortress as well!!! I ran out, not bad especially with water it tastes like cocoa wheats. The only thing that gets me is either the Creatine/Taurine in there, once you get to the bottom of a shake it gets gritty as hell! Gives me the creeps, I'd rather drink CEE then get that grit. One tip I'm doing with Choc Whey is preWO or anytime needing a boost, mixing it with a cup of coffee, I hate black coffee. But throw in a scoop of whey and its gold. Especially Mint Chocolate Whey....ahhh man thats good. The coffee will push the protein better with the caffeine in it, and give you a boost. Haven't done Vanilla yet though, not a big fan of vanilla unless theres hot fudge involved!!!  But its gotta be close to adding cream to coffee I'd think. |

| what kind of mint choc whey is good? syntha-6 has one thats really good but i'd like to try somthin cheaper |
| Posted by: Big_Ben Jun 5 2008, 12:06 PM |
| Optimum has an awesome one, Dymatize is good too. Dude a buddy of mine owns a PT gym, he can get me those Syntha 6's for $20 a pop! |
| Posted by: goodskie Jun 5 2008, 12:19 PM |
| you ever try em? |
| Posted by: Big_Ben Jun 5 2008, 03:15 PM |
| Yeah both, seems like O.N. was alittle tastier but I'm not sure what made it like that if it was the carbs used or how many per serving. I just seemed to taste mintier like a Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie. But Dymatize was good too, and cheaper but seemed to not have as strong of a taste, but it was minimal. It was Dymatize's stuff I was using in my coffee, but I doubt it would be any different with O.N.. Its like taking coffee and making it into like a Hot Chocolate mix, freakin' tastes great man after awhile everytime I had coffee I was adding some to it rather than anything else!!! Just ordered 2 5lb'ers of Dymatize's Elite Protein: Mocha. Hopefully it'll be good with water and milk, water I use at pre and post WO since its easier on passing my stomach, milk I use morning and nite shakes to try and slow it down a bit. Still going to mix it with coffee though to see how it tastes. |
| Posted by: goodskie Jun 6 2008, 03:48 AM |
| word. i gotta try that coffee thing. i'm gunna get some dytamize and see how i like it. try syntha-6 mochachinno some time. its so damn good |

| I think my favorite whey is ON Gold Standard French Vanilla. If you like their Vanilla Ice Cream flavor, you'll love the French Vanilla. |

| i left all my supps home so i had to buy some shit at Target. thought i was gonna get assraped for the price but i ended up with 2 lbs of whey for about 15 bucks. got creatine/glutamine/taurine added into it. 26 grams of protein for a 33 gram scoop. not bad. taste like shit though. |
| Posted by: Doogsy Jun 8 2008, 03:04 PM |
| Cytosport Complete Whey is cheap |
| Posted by: cougar123 Jun 9 2008, 12:13 AM |
| NOW foods whey protein by far the cheapest isolate they have around low 60s and isolate concentrate mix around 50 even maybe less they taste fine imo |
| Posted by: MusicMan Jun 10 2008, 05:54 PM |
| I just went to BJ's today and they had 5lb. bags of EAS 100% Whey for $25.00. |
| Posted by: Big_Ben Jun 12 2008, 01:37 PM |
| Thats awesome, I'd be drinking that stuff with each meal like milk! Dymatize's Cafe Mocha isn't that bad, kinda really sweet tasting though. Has an instant coffee taste, where you don't need to add cream or sugar. |
