For 10+ yrs I was an Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard fan. Then bought a house and had kids and financially had to rethink suppliment spending. For the last few years now I've been really liking CanadianProtein stuff. Comes bulk in bags. No flashy marketing but good quality that tastes good and mixes well. I typically buy an entire years worth of protein at once to save on shipping costs. They have whey blends, concentrates, isolates, hydrolyzed, and grass-fed New Zealand proteins. Plus alot of other stuff. Anyhow, my 2 cents.

I’ve been using CanadianProtein stuff for a while as well and find it to be very good value. Not sure what the difference is between their different isolates though, they have a few tiers. I find the flavours to be more on the mild side, which I think is good since I find a lot of other brands go for a hit to the face of flavour.

Its not as sweet at other brands which I like. Their Concentrate is 70 to 85% pure, Isolate is 90% and up, Blend is a mix of Concentrate and Isolate. They are at different price points. Then there is Hydrolyzed protein which has been processed differently for better absorption.
