Why are there 3 billion types of protein powder?

/sigh and samples are freaking expensive...

Mu NUT suggests:

GNC Pro Performance 100% whey Protein powder

• ON 100% Whey Gold Standard Powder

• Body Fortress 100% Whey Protein Powder

• EAS 100% Whey Protein Powder

• Beneprotein Powder

• Super Whey Protein Shot or Pro Balance Protein Shot

• ProMod liquid Predigested Protein

• GNC Pro Performance Liquid Protein

• Nature’s Best Perfect Isopure Zero Carb

Proteinex Liquid Predigested Protein

• Gatorade Recovery 3 (not shakes or smoothies) • Special K2 O Protein Water or Stick To Go

Bariatric Advantage ProGo Protein Elixir/Shot

• Pro Source No Carb Liquid Predigested Protein

So not much help weeding out my choices...

I like Unjury Chocolate Splendor and syntax nectar.

The website http://bjsbariatrics.com can send you samples of their Syntrax Nectar protein for a pretty low price -- $15 for 11 packets, and you get to choose which ones you'd like to try out. I'm ordering some this week.

Hey Vix, I use EAS Advantage, for now. 100 or 110 calories and 17 grams of protein with zero to 1 gram of sugar. They come in liquid, $4.99 a pack of four, in several flavors. I've enjoyed them so far, but I'm getting sick of them and I have another week! You may have to try a few to see what you really like, cuz you'll be drinking the heck out of them! Also, plain greek yogurt is GREAT for protein! I get 23 grams in one cup of Fage. I've learned to mix in sugar free drink mix, pudding and it's great in cream soups to thicken.

Syntrax chocolate truffle is actually GOOD. everything else (in my experience) goes from "okay" to "nasty" after having it a few times.

Good luck!

and as far as why there are so many... cuz there's LOTS OF MONEY to be made! ;)

I'll have to try that. A lot cheaper than 'vitalady'.

The first GNC I went to made me a free sample. I don't know if all GNCs do this, but it can't hurt to ask.

What about isopure? I wish I had found that earlier.

I've choked down isopure in the past....it's a bit rough and I typically have the constitution of a siberian yak. Usually requires some mixing of fruit or some other carb ladened item to get down, thus negating the reason why you bought the isopure...0 carbs. Just sharing my personal experience. Others swear by it though.
