When it comes to muscle building supplements, I don't think any of them have more flavors than whey protein. So what is the best flavor of whey protein? Well, the answer to this question really depends on the person, but here are a few things to consider as you're looking at the different flavors that are available for the different brands:
Flavor Mixability
Whey Protein After Workout
Sometimes you may want to mix your whey protein with something else, such as milk or perhaps a sports drink if you're making a home-made workout drink. How well does your flavor mix with the flavors of Gatorade or Powerade that you might be using? How well does it taste with milk? Or does it just taste good by itself with water?
Another thought on this is how does it taste with regular food? Is the flavor universal enough that it goes good with anything, or should it only be taken with dessert?
Aftertaste
Nobody likes a flavor with a bad aftertaste. And honestly, there are some strange flavors in some of the different brands of whey protein out there! Try a few and see what flavors like to stick around the most.
Allow for Variety
This point sort of goes back to the flavor mixability idea, but some flavors are really only used well with a small amount of other items. For example. there are only so many thing that you can mix a cookies n' creme protein powder with. Vanilla on the other hand can be so much more versatile. Here are in my opinion the top 3 when it comes to usability:
Vanilla Chocolate Strawberry
Most of the other unique flavors are just too unique to be mixed with a lot of other things, so if you're buying your whey protein with the intention of using it multiple ways, you should stick with one of the 3 listed above.
On the other hand, if you're buying your protein just because you love the flavor, go for it! I had a container of Dymatize Elite Pina Colada once, and I drank it just for the flavor. The only down side to this was that after going through all 5 lbs of it I was a little tired of the flavor.
So what are your favorite flavors? Do you prefer the kind that mix well with other things or the unique flavors? Share your opinion in the comments section below!
