This is a new thread I’m devoting to weekly updates! Each week, I’ll post a new category of supplements and members can feel free to share their “top 5” of that category!
Give a list, some background as to why you like it, and let’s see what everyone has to offer!
This first week should inspire participation, let’s do Protein Powder!
Matt’s Current Top 5 Protein:
(1). USN Zero Carb “Apple Pie” - This stuff blew me away and I’m loving the pastry esque aroma and flavor! It has a buttery and cinnamon element that is perfectly balanced. Plus, it’s under a gram of fat and under a gram of carbs per serving! BONUS - their Vanilla and Molten Chocolate flavors are phenomenal also, even for being “traditional” flavors!
(2). Ghost “PB Cereal Milk” - A salty and sweet combo. A bit higher in calories (140) than most would prefer, but the taste is a Peanut Butter lover’s dream.
(3). Adaptogen Science “Chocolate Truffle” - A true cocoa flavor with a bold chocolate taste. For those who enjoy chocolate cake, this is the closest protein I’ve had that mimics that flavor!
(4). USN “Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip” - Combine sweet and rich cocoa with a salty creamy peanut butter (and mini chocolate chip pieces) and this is what you get. This is not an isolate, so be warned. The taste is really great for me these days!
(5). Spartan Whey “Cookies and Cream” - A great blended protein, which I would utilize most as a before bed shake, as there is some casein in the blend. So far, this is tied for my favorite CnC flavor (love to MTS for taste, but those macros are heavy IMO). Great mix-ability for smoothies and shakes alike!
XF 2.0 Lemon Cream Pie … if you never had it you will soon figure out why its the bomb… Legit lemon cream pie with the graham cracker aftertaste like a true pie
Beverly Cookies and Cream UMP → Favorite CNC on the market IMO tastes like a milkshake
Metabolic Nutrition PB Cookie → Favorite PB On the market IMO
Ghost Blueberry Toaster Pastry → Sweet, strong in Blueberry and the poptart chunks are icing on the cake
MSI Lean Whey Oatmeal Cookie → As a person who loves oatmeal cookies (Favorite cookie next to white chocolate macadamia nut) this hits the spot and is dead on
I could interchange a few others pending on what I am in the mood for some honorable mentions but everyones taste buds will differ
MTS Pumpkin Pie (Basic B favorite)
XF 2.0 Triple Chocolate (best chocolate on the market IMO)
PES Vanilla (Best Vanilla on the market IMO)
XF 2.0 Strawberry (now Discontinued), so my all time favorite strawberry still out with be MuscleLean
Dymatize PB (Legit PB Taste but the cookie aspect in Metabolic gives it the edge)
XF 2.0 Cinnamon Roll or Spartan Cinna Crunch (For Cinnamon Lovers)
Merica Labz Fortuitous Keepsakes -has actual lucky charms marshallows
Ghost Cereal Milk- I know this flavor is controversial, but I am one of those who loves it. I definitely get the Captain Crunch flavor, and as you can probably tell by my top 3 I am a cereal junkie.
MTS Cookies and Cream
PES Vanilla- probably the best vanilla protein powder I have had to date and very versatile
I’ve been meaning to try Beverley CNC per @TheSolution 's recommendation, and I’ve gotta add XF Lemon Cream Pie to my list as well. That sounds insane
btw pretty sure they changed ghost blueberry. The tubs I’ve had before had huge chunks of pastry in them, which I loved bc I mainly use it in oatmeal or sludge. This most recent tub they’re the size of tiny beads. not a fan of the change
