Egg White Protein Powder - All Natural - Safe - Low Cost - 10 Pounds Review

Egg White Protein Powder - All Natural - Safe - Low Cost - 10 Pounds
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I buy mine directly from the company. 10 lb. box is currently around 66 or 68 bucks plus 12 for shipping. The egg white protein has a really nice flavor without the addition of any toxic crap like aspertame that you'd find in many whey products. It's super cheap and tastes awesome. I'll use a 10 pounder every 2-3 months for the rest of my life as long as they don't go jacking the price too high. One scoop + frozen bananas + milk in the blender has been a twice a day ritual with me for 2 years now.

Premier Protein - High Protein Ready To Drink Shakes, 18-11oz shakes Review

Premier Protein - High Protein Ready To Drink Shakes, 18-11oz shakes
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I drink one of these after coming home from the gym. They're filling and quite satisfying and I don't feel the need to eat anything else. They're best ice cold although the instructions say not to freeze them, so I stick a cold one from the fridge in to the freezer for just a few minutes as soon as I get home, and by the time I've changed out of my sweaty work-out clothes, it's really ice cold without actually being frozen.
160 calories - 30 from fat; total fat 3 grams; 5 grams carbs; 1 gram sugar; 3 grams fiber; 30 grams protein; 330 mg sodium; 680 mg potassium; no high fructose corn syrup. However, FYI, this does contain some calcium caseinate just in case you are not in favor of using calcium caseinate as a protein source.
I buy the chocolate flavor which is quite yummy, not artificial tasting and tastes like thick, chocolate milk - especially when ice cold as mentioned above. I've never tried any other flavors except the chocolate.
This price and shipping seem very expensive, but I buy them at one of the membership big-box warehouse type places (that begins with the letter "C") for a much better and more reasonable price.

GNC AMPLIFIED WHEYBOLIC EXTREME 60 PROTEIN - CHOCOLATE,NET WT 1.22 LB(19.5oz)553g Review

GNC AMPLIFIED WHEYBOLIC EXTREME 60 PROTEIN - CHOCOLATE,NET WT 1.22 LB(19.5oz)553g
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been using Amplified Wheybolic for a while now, and although I buy it elsewhere in large containers, the price here on amazon isn't terrible.
As far as protein powders go it's great, look it up online for a complete nutrition profile if you'd like, but everything is there. It's made from whey, so it's very high quality, and you don't have to worry about it giving you gastrointestinal issues. I've tried the Vanilla, Cookies and Creme and the Chocolate, and I recommend the chocolate hands down. The other flavours were decent, but mixed in a tall glass of cold milk the Chocolate is great. I've had no cramps or issues, and I've seen moderate gains in both strength in size since I've started supplementing with this.
As far as the directions, I actually talked to the guy in GNC and he didn't recommend three scoops. He said that two would be plenty, and from my experience and the experience of others two has been great.
Overall, great product. Tastes good, no problems, solid nutrition.

OK, I did something really stupid. I actually bought these. The make up of the tabs is complete and fine, they are just HUUUGE! I take alot of different supplements and have no problem chugging down pills. THESE HURT! That's how big they are. For a brief moment I thought to myself as it lodged itself in my throat "OMG, I'm an idiot and am going to choke to death". I reared back and swallowed hard and it went down a little bit. I ate an sandwich and can still feel this thing at the base of my throat.

EAS AdvantEdge 100% Whey Protein Review

EAS AdvantEdge 100% Whey Protein
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It would be easy to say that this Protein shake doesn't taste good, but compared to what? So far in my 10 years of trying proteins and shakes, I can tell you that the best tasting 2 have been Muscle Milk and EAS Whey Protein. But Muscle Milk isn't a Protein Shake - its a Meal Replacement Shake and it contains a lot sugars which adds a lot of taste. In protein powders I have tried Cytosport's Evopro, that GNC protein stuff, Optimum Nutrition's Protein, and Isopro's Protein. So far - EAS Whey Protein is the best tasting chocolate shake even when it has only 1 gram of sugar and 3 grams of carbs per serving. EAS When Protein is also the easiest to mix and to clean off your cup. In fact you can just leave your cup sit in water for 10 minutes and all the left over will dissolve to the bottom of your cup.

Optimum Nutrition 100% Egg Protein Review

Optimum Nutrition 100% Egg Protein
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been a big user of Whey protein shakes, mainly Nature's Best Isopure brand (because it's lactose-free). Unfortunately, it got to the point that I just couldn't take the horrible taste anymore. I decided to try Optimum Nutrition's egg white protein because I had read great reviews for Optimum Nutrition's protein shakes online. I've got to say that they are correct--this shake tastes just like chocolate milk!
PROS
-The shake really does taste great. I used to choke down protein shakes--no more :)
-Excellent price. You get a good serving of protein (23 or 27 g per scoop) and there's something like 40 scoops in the container.
-Again the taste--just great.
CONS
-The ad claims that it is instantized (you can mix it with a spoon). Unfortunately, it takes a good minute or two of heavy duty mixing to get that effect. At first it clumps up, and you have to go at it to unclump it. Even then, there are often little pieces left. The good thing is the taste makes up for it so I've never minded that.One last observation: whey protein seems to be "lighter" than this. I'm not sure if it's this particular brand or all egg protein shakes in general, but drinking my standard 1.5 scoops in the morning really fills me up! I feel a little heavy or full, almost like I've eaten a really big meal as I'm heading out the door. Just something to be prepared for!

Optimum Nutrition 100% Any Whey Instantized Whey Protein Review

Optimum Nutrition 100% Any Whey Instantized Whey Protein
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the protein for me, I'm sold. It's better than its own advertisements. Yes it really is absolutely tasteless (it does have a very pleasant but mild aroma - kinda reminds me of strawberries, but I only notice it when I first open up the jar), so you can add it to anything with a stronger taste than water and not know the difference. Yes it really is "instantized" unless you start trying to mix it at a thicker than recomended rate. I've taken it staight with nothin but water or milk, in hot and cold chocolate, in cereal, in oatmeal, in my O.J., I've toyed with putting it into my scrambled egss but what would be the point? Anyways, I've thrown together my own little protein drinks a half a dozen different ways already and I haven't scratched the surface. But wait there's more! Optimum makes no claims about this whey's other fantastic properties and I can't for the life of me figure out why.
I emailed them and they responded the same day to say that the stuff is virtually ("90%-98%") lactose free, which is a big relief since I have allot of lactose intollerance in the family.
The stuff is made in the USA. 17 grams of protein per serving, there's 60 servings in a jar. That's 1020 grams of the absolute best protein on earth. Amazon's price: $21 per jar. That's what? two cents per gram of protein/ 35 cents per serving?!? Somebody check my math, I'm not sure if that could possibly be right. Compare that to other protein blends- I need to do more checking but I'd bet that's a comparable $/gram of protein to even the cheapest of the multitudes of new and improved snake oil enriched super fantabulated suplemental mega bloat mixes. Then compare that to your average starbucks bill. Shoot, compare that to what you have to put into vending machines to get what rolls out.
If you aren't sold/bored yet then consider this: Whey proein as compared to all other protein types (egg, standard milk, soy, etc) is the best across the board and should (and usually does) have a cost to match. It is the easiest on your stomach, fastest into your system, and best for muscle tissue gains/ weight maintenance (it's what doctors have used to get HIV and wasted chemo/radiation patients to hold the line and even re-grow). It has immune system enhanceing properties that make it almost medicinal. It has anti cancer properties beyond its immune enchanceing ones, but especially for those who are about to undergo radiation/chemothereapy (I can't explain the mechanisms but it selectively puts the cancer cells frontmost when the treatments are taking place so that they are the first to die and easiest to kill) Carefully and expensively processed Whey proteins (whey protein isolates) should cost even more than the standard concentrates. But Any whey doesn't cost hardly nothin', what gives?
Now... search for a protein supplement, of any kind, that doesn't come with that wonderful and ever palatable "NEW CHOCOLATE BANANA PEPPER FLAVOR!" Or have any fat. Or any carbohydrates (well actually it does have 1 gram per serving). No sugars, no sugar alcohols, no indigestible sugar substitutes, no taste (no, wait, that's a good thing!), and one that can be measured into any recipe of any kind for an endless variety of ways to be used. 60 servings-17 grams per serving-21 dollars.
The stuff's good enough to inspire me to peck away for an hour now to sing it's unsung praises. Now I think I'll go have a high protein bowl o' whey-augmented dreario's so my poor finger muscles have something to regrow with.

Average Reviews:

I drink Muscle Milk every morning for my breakfast. This is my least favorite flavor but I tolerated it to finish it off. I enjoy the Mocha Latte and the Chocolate Malt. I got them on the Subscribe & Save for a great deal. They are delivered automatically with free shipping every 3 months. So I don't get the full 300 calories in one shot, I only put one scoop in (instead of 2) stir well with spoon, add some ice and then drink it through a straw. It tastes best ice cold. Then when I get hungry a couple hours later, I make another one using one scoop. Then I have a light lunch around 11:30.

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, 5 Pounds Review

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, 5 Pounds
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I like this product. Let me first start by saying that I do not think this is "the BEST" protein product ever. However, I've tried many protein products and this comes rather close.
In my honest opinion, "the BEST" protein product out there would have to be "Profect" by Protica Research. It's actually the stuff used by gastric bypass patients. It's 25 grams of high-absorb protein in only 2.7 fluid oz that literally tastes like fruit candy. But, it's way too expensive and a two-months supply can set you back a couple of hundred bucks easily. Because of this, it's better suited strictly toward its medical purposes.
This product is also not the "most cost-effective". There are plenty of other whey products out there that are much much cheaper and have just as much protein content, but they all pretty much taste like doo doo. What's the point in torturing yourself to save a few bucks? Cost is definitely an important factor, but not the most important.
Apart from all of the hype and apart from all of the hate, I would say that I really do like this product. It tasted a bit gross with just plain water, but when I added it to a cup of enriched soymilk, I couldn't tell the difference between it and a regular kid's chocolate milk shake. That is amazing. And this product did mix pretty well. I usually have problems with that when it comes to powdered shakes and it's always great when you can get a shake that doesn't just sit on the bottom of the cup and cement while everything else just floats to the top. I even added a serving of Benefiber fiber supplement, and it still didn't clump up.
One problem that I have with this product is that it does use artificial sweeteners, but I'll let that slide for now, since I don't intake too many products with them anyway. Still, it is a cause for concern for those you who want to avoid such things in your diet entirely.
Overall, 4 of of 5 stars. I'm pleased but not impressed. This product is definitely one of the superior brands out there but most definitely not a "gold standard". A lot could be done to improve it.

I love this product! I found it on Amazon.com because the stores are no longer stocking it. My husband has been using this product for years and loves it. It gives him the right amount of energy and cuts the cravings so he doesn't binge out on junk food. I have a very low tolerance for any product that is high in caffeine because it gives me the jitters and that feeling of being under the influence; not to mention the slam effect when you come down off the "high". When I feel like I need a little pick me up or I want to avoid grabbing too many sweets, I can take just one of the tablets and feel in control the entire day. I never have the jitters or the anxious moments and it works wonders with appetite control. I hope MHP keeps it around forever.

Slim-Fast 3-2-1 Plan, High Protein Shake Mix, Creamy Chocolate, 12.83oz Canisters (Pack of 3) Review

Slim-Fast 3-2-1 Plan, High Protein Shake Mix, Creamy Chocolate, 12.83oz Canisters (Pack of 3)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this as part of an Amazon special on SlimFast, and didn't look at nutritional data at the store ahead of time. For anyone else who wants more info before purchasing, I decided to provide it, as it doesn't appear in the item description at this time.
First, taste: Good chocolate flavor, a little sweet for my tastes. I bet that's why Diane Aliprandi's kids like it better than Carnation Instant Breakfast. :-) Anyway, I tend to be a little sensitive to the sweetness of things, so take that with a grain of salt.
This is bizarre, but I've noticed that it has a little bit of an odd smell to it. Not offensive, but lingering... ??
Nutrional info (as packaged, not prepared)
Number of servings per container: 14 (1 scoop or 1/3 cup = serving)
Calories: 110
Cal from fat: 30
Total fat: 3.5
Cholesterol: < 5 mg
Sodium: 140 mg
Potassium: 200 mg
Total Carb: 13 g
Dietary Fiber: 4 g
Sugars: 6 g
Protein: 7 g
Vitamin and mineral content varies from 10% to 100% of RDA. Calcium is 20% and Iron is 30%.
The reasons I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 are (a) cost per serving, (b) the calories to protein & fiber ratio, and (c) the sweetness thing.
Another option to consider is Sugar Free Carnation Instant Breakfast Canisters, not always available in container packaging, but always available in packet form Carnation Instant Breakfast, Variety Pack, No Sugar Added, Carnation Instant Breakfast, Classic French Vanilla, No Sugar Added. The containers have 12 servings per container, 60 cal/serving, 0.5 grams of fat/serving, 12 g carb/serving, 4 g fiber/serving, and 5 g protein/serving. It is less expensive per serving than the SlimFast products (at least in container form), dissolves easier, and is sweetened primarily with Splenda. I find that it keeps me satisfied as well as anything else. I do, however, use 1-2% milk rather than skim when preparing it. Fat is definitely one of the keys to satiety, along with protein and fiber.
Update: Well, I now have to say that this does, in fact, keep me satisfied longer than Carnation Instant Breakfast.

Twinlab 100% Whey Protein Fuel Review

Twinlab 100% Whey Protein Fuel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This and MetRX's protein powders are my favorites, though when Amazon has this brand in stock it's less expensive per serving than MetRX. The MetRX foams up a bit more and seems a little thicker (not negatives, in my opinion); the TwinLab comes out very smooth when made in a blender. Both brands taste very good, at least when made with fat free or 1% milk (or at the very least half milk and half water).
I won't detail the nutritional info because it's available in the product description here, but like MetRX I like that this protein powder gets almost all of its calories from protein. Some protein powders have a fair amount of fat and some have A LOT of carbohydrates. Those formulas may be good for competition level bodybuilders who need to have an extremely high caloric intake because they are working out so hard, but I don't really want a protein shake that gives me a meal's worth of carbs and fat in addition to the protein. I'd rather get my carbs and fat from real food.

Next Proteins Designer Whey Weight Control Chocolate Review

Average Reviews:

I almost don't believe this myself, but I have really experienced having my after dinner appetite suppressed.
If you go to Designer's website you'll find the technical and scientific information on how this Designer Whey Weight Control Protein Blend works which seems logical.
I eat a smaller size dinner and then drink one and sometimes only one half scoop an hour or two after dinner and an hour or two before going to bed. I don't feel hungry afterwards and even when I get up in the morning.
Just adding even a half scoop with breakfast and lunch really helps satisfy my appetite during the day.
Time will tell about how much lean body mass (muscle) I will add. It is suggested to have some after you complete excising to help build your lean body mass.
Additionally, it tastes good (perhaps not great) too!

The Ultimate Life - The Ultimate Meal
Average Reviews:

I started taking this product when I was pregnant and extremely health conscious. It is the best meal replacement out there, and from the very beginning I could feel the difference in my health. Of course, the taste is far from delicious, but after my initial reaction (gag) I now like it, even crave it in the mornings. (I had to make myself like V8 to, and this is healthier.) The price is a little steep at $55, but it is much better on Amazon then if you bought it form the store ($70+ tax) and it is worth every penny of it. It is full of vitamins, healthy grains and vegan protein. It will fill you up (unlike other green drinks) so you eat less. While it does not claim to be a weight loss product, it actually helped me lose 20 pounds by helping me stop my cravings. Try it, you will not regret it!
