Protein Supplement Reviews

Protein Supplement Reviews. Lately I’ve been getting quite a few question about which protein supplements I recommend.  To answer these questions I’ve decided to write a quick little post about a few protein supplements that I use.

Optimum Nutrition

One of my favorite protein supplements comes from a company called Optimum Nutrition (O.N.).  The product is called 100% Whey Gold Standard.

• The Taste is awesome!
• The 5 lb container comes in 18 different flavors!
• 25 grams of protein per serving!
• Protein Blend of Whey Isolate, Whey Concentrate and Whey Peptides.
• 77 servings in a 5 lb container.
• Made of low-weight whey peptides for ultra fast absorption!

The reason I like this protein is because it blends easy in my shaker cup and most of the flavors taste decent when mixed with water. That means I can use this protein if I’m trying to get shredded and I won’t have to choke it down. But if you want to “beef” it up by using milk and adding peanut butter, oatmeal, banana and some ice feel free, it will taste too good to be healthy. My favorite flavor is Double Rich Chocolate, but you can try whatever flavor you would like, they all taste pretty dang good.

Dymatize Nutrition

Another one of my favorite protein supplements is by a company called Dymatize Nutrition. The product is called Elite Natural Whey Protein Isolate.

• All Natural
• No Artificial Flavors, Colors or Sweeteners!
• Each Scoop packs 24 grams of ALL NATURAL protein!
• Comes in 2lb or 5lb container.
• 5lb container has 68 servings!
• Very High Amount Of BCAAs!

The main reason I recommend this protein shake is because it’s one of the best “All Natural” protein supplements on the market. Though the taste isn’t the best, it’s definitely still palatable especially if you add some organic berries or fruit to your shakes. I can only recommend the Gourmet Vanilla flavor since that’s all I’ve used, but feel free to give the other flavors a shot. This is also a great protein supplement to use in cooking. Try adding a scoop to a cup of yogurt, pudding or your favorite pancake recipe. Because the taste is subtle you’ll hardly notice it’s there.

Oh Yeah

If taste is what you’re after this is the protein supplement for you! My favorite tasting protein supplement is made by ISS Research. The product is called Oh Yeah! Total Protein System.

• Best taste hands down!
• Only available in a 2.4lb container.
• 21 servings per container.
• 32 grams of protein per serving.
• Contains quick-digesting BCAAs for optimal post workout recovery!
• 3 Flavors: Chocolate Milkshake, Cookies & Cream and Vanilla Cream

Seriously the best tasting protein supplement that I’ve ever used. Every one I’ve recommended this product too has said the same thing, this product is batting 1000. If you’re not using a protein powder right now because you can’t find one that you can choke down, you need to try this shake! I’ve only used the Vanilla Creme but I’m sure the other flavors are just as good. I use this protein as a special treat especially when I’m struggling with sugar cravings.

It tastes great in water but for a special treat try 8-10 ounces of milk, 1 table spoon peanut butter and a half cup of ice (it’s like a rainbow in your mouth…a vanilla peanut butter one). You get my point it’s really good and you can’t go wrong with this one.

That concludes my protein supplement reviews. These are the products that I use and recommend. I would never recommend a product that I don’t use or believe in. It’s a bit of an honor to receive the “Hedeen Stamp of Approval”, I don’t just recommend any product. Anyways give these protein supplements a shot if you feel like you need a little more protein in your diet. If you’re eating enough protein already…then don’t take a protein supplement.
