This week, we scanned Amazon鈥檚 bestseller list for outstanding protein powders, then pulled the most useful and authoritative reviews for each.
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard聽Whey Protein ($55)

鈥溌爄s my go-to product after working out to ensure I get an ample amount of protein. I mix the whey protein with my almond milk and it really tastes like a chocolate shake. It goes down very well unless you mix it with water. I tried water and I couldn鈥檛 bear the consistency of it. I like buying the big bottle because you get more of your money鈥檚 worth. I most definitely recover faster while taking this whey after workouts.鈥
BSN Syntha-6 Whey Protein ($38)

鈥淚鈥檓 an athletic, average college student. I鈥檝e tried many protein brands, and 聽the best tasting and most nutritious one I鈥檝e ever had. It comes in a bag with 97 servings, which is a lot of servings. It instantly blends with milk or water and tastes like a milkshake, no need to even use a blender. It tastes amazing. It doesn鈥檛 have that thick protein whey powdery taste other brands have. It can also be used as a meal replacement because it has essential amino acids, protein, fiber. I use this as my breakfast every morning mixed with a glass of unsweetened almond milk.鈥
Garden of Life Meal Replacement ($38)

鈥淚 ordered 聽in January 2018聽and have since tried a small tub of vanilla and a large tub of chai. The chai tastes exactly like an iced coffee from Starbucks with almond milk. It is now February 2018 and I鈥檓 about to purchase my third large tub. I am so thankful to have found a product so dedicated to聽providing options for people to get the nutrition they need in such a quick and easy way. I鈥檓 absolutely in love with this product and will continue to drink it every day. Do your body a favor and buy this product. Thank me later!鈥
Isopure Zero Carb Protein ($38)

鈥淚鈥檝e used a lot of different and expensive brands of protein powder and 聽is great. The creamy vanilla is tasty. I鈥檓 on the keto diet now and this is the only powder I found that has zero聽carbs and tastes great, especially with some almond milk and strawberries for a smoothie. I just ordered the banana and Dutch chocolate flavors to try!鈥
Orgain Organic Plant Based Protein ($24)

鈥淚鈥檝e had a very hard time finding protein powders that work for me in the past. They usually make me ill, and extremely gassy, but 聽doesn鈥檛. I can鈥檛 say whether it鈥檚 helping me with muscle gain because I just started taking it, but I can say this is the first protein powder that doesn鈥檛 make my stomach hurt. Plus, it doesn鈥檛 leave that awful aftertaste in my mouth.鈥
