Has anyone found one that actually tastes nice?

I like the bulk ones.

Myprotein, they have so many flavours and I had a trial variety box of their impact whey. The salted caramel tasted buttery and was really smooth!

Currently getting pop ups for Form Nutrition, Free Soul and Body Me Organic, Organic Protein Co - anyone tried any of these?

Are there any that dont have artificial sweetners in them? Im yet to find one to be honest.

I'm bad for eating breakfast, just don't like to eat when I first get up and then don't have time during the rush to get ready, school run, work etc. I like the myprotein clear powders I've got peach tea at the moment, shake it and pour over ice, it's like an iced tea not a creamy or thick drink but still 20g of protein it was on offer in Tesco not sure if it still is

I find the myprotein clear whey Vimto one just tastes like Vimto

I use Bulk unflavoured whey protein. The only 2 ingredients are whey protein concentrate and sunflower lecithin (to help the mixing).

Ime all the flavoured wheys are packed with sweetners and colours and unknown E7ri6ge57 type numbers so I avoid them. And I think they taste awful tbh, fake and synthetic.

The Bulk powder I use is milky tasting. If you mix it with milk it just makes it creamier, like you're drinking full fat milk. In water, it tastes like you're drinking watered down milk, like the thinnest skim milk ever 😂 which isn't great but just something you want to chug down quickly.

If you're mixing any other ingredients with it in shakes, like banana or berries etc, you can't taste the powder at all.

The optimum nutrition one in my experience are the best tasting, the trick I learnt is to pour a small amount of cold water then add a quarter boiling water to the powder, the cold water will reduce the temp slightly… but due to the hot water it will taste like a milkshake.

it’s weird but it works!

USN diet fuel Vanilla is delicious (chocolate and strawberry less so)

I second this! We get them from Amazon and find them really affordable and by far the best tasting I’ve tried (and I’ve had quite a few!)

I wouldn’t go for free soul, tried it before and hated the taste!

How do you mix it up and what do you use it in. I dont eat shakes or things, I was adding some bone broth collagen powder (not a full protein) to my coffee which I was sort of using as protein powder but I could taste it. I wanted something just to add to hot drinks to be honest

Shake that weight is really popular at the moment, they have shakes, meals, bars a really good variety and you can choose which bundle deals you go for to suit your taste.

If you use this link you’ll get the best prices, I’ll add a pic of my latest order x

I add collagen powder by Ancient and Brave to my coffee. It’s entirely tasteless.
