Protein Review
If you want to permanently lose weight, you need to start building muscle. Protein is the building block of muscles. This means that you’re going need to start eating more protein in order to build those fat burning muscles. In order to consume enough protein you can stuff your face with lean meats every meal… Don’t get me wrong, steak at every meal sounds wonderful, but the expense is a little prohibitive. You’re other option is to start consuming protein in the form of shakes, bars, and powders.
If you’re like me, then you’ll probably want to get the most for your money. Hands down that means buying protein powder in bulk form and then mixing it yourself into shakes or smoothies.
Below are, in my opinion, your three best powders on the market. All are good for you, all contain everything a body needs to develop fat burning muscles, everything else is personal taste. Read the reviews and you will find the same gripes, either it tastes bad or doesn’t mix well, and that you should buy a different product. (Which by the way has the same complaints in its review section)
I’ve used all three, and I can honestly say that they taste pretty much the same. Muscle milk probably tastes the best if you are going to drink it straight mixed with only water or milk. EAS is the cheapest which means a lot to my wallet.
My advice is instead of trying to mix it with milk or water and drink it straight, is to throw some in a blender and use it to make smoothies. You will never have to worry about clumping, and any difference in taste is muted by all the other things its been mixed with.
I was able to find EAS at my local Costco for about the same price as Amazon, so I picked it up there. After a few weeks of just chocolate, I picked up another bag of vanilla. Switching between the two flavors kept my taste buds happy, and the increased protein helped my workouts benefit me to their fullest, all while keeping my wallet happy too.
