Best Overall Protein Powder

phil07 Posts: 14 Joined: 2005/04/11	2005/04/18, 01:20 PM I just would like to know everybody's opinion on what they think is the one overall best protein powder he/she ever used. Overall meaning taste,results,composition,price,...etc.. My favorite of the ones I have tried is ON's Chocolate Mint...good amount of protein 23g per scoop, great taste, and it is dirt cheap in the land of protein powder. What do you guys/girls think?

JustinE22 Posts: 1,312 Joined: 2003/09/18	2005/04/18, 03:47 PM why how much are they charging for a tub of nectar? To me it is worth those extra few dollars, it tastes that good.

JustinE22 Posts: 1,312 Joined: 2003/09/18	2005/04/18, 06:33 PM your right, it is a more expensive that the ON, but is the ON a whey isolate? Take a look at the ingrediants and see what kind of why it has in it. Nectar has 0g. of fat and carbs, it's basically pure protein(an isolate) which is the quickest absorbing. I pay the extra for that and because I haven't tasted a better powder besides maybe isopure's powders but that is a little more expensive than nectar. If your on a budget than nectar prob. isn't the way to go maybe once and a while but not as a regular buy.

Great taste...A+ , but it does get a B- for mixability...the spoon is a little rough, so I had to bust out the shaker. And even after that you still had a little floaties here and there, but at least the floaties tasted good! But, I also must gripe about the papa smurf tongue I got afterwards....but overall its a good product...I'm sorta lookin forward to possibly tryin other flavors.
