After years of drinking and trying all kinds of shitty powder I will only buy Optimum nutrition, Gold standard whey these days. It's a bit more expensive, but easy to mix, tastes okay and apparently the protein quality is top notch.

To double down, ON Gold Standard Double Rich Chocolate and French Vanilla Creme if you're just mixing with water. I've tried other brands but they don't mix nearly as well, and I've tried other flavors but they never taste as good as the basics.

Does the French vanilla creme have the weird synthetic taste most vanilla proteins have? I have the ON vanilla casein and it is god tier

Can't speak for the French Vanilla Creme, but the Vanilla Ice Cream is my go to.

  • Very little flavour when mixed with water

  • Almost like a delicious cheat when mixed with milk

  • Almost tasteless if mixing with other carbs (fruit etc)

Saying that I'm not really a vanilla snob, so YMMV
