What’s The Best Tasting Protein Powder with Water?

One scoop of this protein powder has one of the industry’s highest protein-by-weight ratios at 88%. That’s 28 grams of protein per serving!

With all that protein, you think it would taste awful, but think again!

The product comes in two flavors: chocolate and vanilla.

Ladder uses all-natural ingredients such as cocoa and vanilla beans, salt, and a little sweetener to bring out that awesome taste.

If you want a protein powder that tastes like dessert, then this is it.

One of the most interesting whey flavors I’ve ever tasted is the honey cinnamon peanut butter from Swolverine.

I’ll be honest, this unique flavor is intimidating, especially if you’re used to plain, bland proteins, but I didn’t regret trying it. It’s tasty and filling, and gives me 26 grams of protein per serving.

It blends smoothly and the texture is like a real milkshake.

If you want something simpler, the vanilla flavor is the way to go. Just blend with water, add some ice, and you’re good to go. You can also add some fresh fruits for more flavor.

And, since we were looking for the best product, we turned to the chocolate milkshake flavor from their famous Cold Stone Creamery Series. The peanut butter cookie flavor was a close contender.

When both protein powder and water were combined, it was delicious.

The company claims it tastes like ice cream and mixes like a milkshake. We wouldn’t go that far, but for a shake without milk, it was pretty good.

Next up is the cleanest entry on the list. If you’re looking for the best, leanest, healthiest powder, then this is probably for you. Pure Whey Protein from SFH lives up to its name.

This product contains 24 grams of protein per serving, only 130 calories, and only 2g of fat and 4g of carbs, which is quite impressive.

It’s great for anyone that wants to build muscle while limiting everything else.

It’s 100% grass-fed and contains no artificial ingredients. Since it’s also clean, it can be easily absorbed by your body, which could lead to better long-term weight loss results especially if you struggle to stay within your macros.

For something so delicious, chocolate-flavored proteins have a nasty habit of tasting awful when not mixed with milk. With milk—amazing chocolate milkshake. Without milk—chalk and foam.

Optimum Nutrition's great-tasting flavors have a great reputation around the fitness world so we went with their highest rated one for our taste test.

The double chocolate flavor was creamy, delicate, and, most importantly for us, easy on the stomach.

It went down smoothly and without any of that after taste you’re used to driving home from the gym with.

My personal favorite is the double-rich chocolate flavor, but some of my clients also rave about the vanilla variant. Speaking of, I've tested and jotted down the list of the best-tasting vanilla protein powders and I highly recommend you give them a try.

Ultimate Nutrition is well known for their high-quality products at rock bottom prices, but their Prostar whey powder is their first foray into low-carb, all-around proteins for workouts.

They definitely kept up their best quality here, though it left a bit to be desired.

First, it packs 25 grams of protein per serving (quite a lot!) and is very low calorie, fat, and carbs.

Second, it tastes pretty good (especially with ice). In fact, it tastes good enough considering its low price.

If we had to choose one word to sum up this product, we would choose: BOOM.

Phase 8 is best known for their 8-hour multi-phase formula: the slow release of amino acids for 8 hours after consumption. In our opinion, this formula makes it one of the top choices of proteins for post workouts.

Milk Chocolate is our personal favorite flavor and we were surprised at how much we liked this one. The flavor is just right and is easy on the tummy, too.

It delivers a standard 26 grams of whey protein isolate, with 5.6 grams of BCAAs and 5 grams of glutamine, per serving.

The last on this list is the protein powder by the brand Drink Wholesome.

One thing I appreciate about this brand is its simplicity -- it contains minimal ingredients. No artificial protein sources and flavoring so you consume real food and get your 20 gram of protein dose instantly.

My favorite is the peanut butter flavor but if you're looking for pure protein, go with the unflavored option. It's made of just egg whites for pure, clean, protein serving. And don't worry about it tasting 'eggy' because with their pasteurization process, it's literally flavorless and goes perfect with just water.
