Whether you are a runner, hardcore bodybuilder, or just trying to maintain a healthy diet, adequate protein intake is vital for you as they are the building blocks of tissues, muscles, and organs.
If you’re having trouble getting enough protein in your diet, these powders are an excellent way of helping you get more.
You can add them to your oatmeal, fruit smoothie, or drink with plain water, milk, or almond milk.
Here are my top 5 recommendations of whey protein powders for men based on taste and ingredients:
5. Universal Nutrition’s Animal Protein
One of the brands that have been around for the longest time and has won the heart of many old school bodybuilders.
They’ve added digestive enzymes to their protein powder to help with absorption. The taste is surprisingly good, but some people have complained about it not mixing well.
Per Serving: 25 g protein, 4 g carbs, 1 g fat.
Flavors: Red Velvet, Chocolate, Cookies & Cream, Brownie Batter, and a ton more.
Servings Per Container: 28
4. PROMIX Grass-Fed Whey Protein
This grass-fed whey protein is soy-free, gluten-free, corn-free, non-GMO, and has no chemicals or additives. It tastes and mixes well but may have a funny smell. It costs a bit more than other proteins listed here, but its quality is definitely worth it.
Per Serving: 25 g protein, 8 g carbs, 2.5 g fat.
Flavors: Chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter, and unflavored.
Servings Per Container: 12
3. Dymatize
The double chocolate flavor from Dymatize’s protein is one of the best tasting ones I’ve tried. However, I’ve read reviews about lactose intolerant people having a hard time digesting it. So if you’re lactose intolerant, I would go with the number one pick on this list.
Per Serving: 25 g protein, 4 g carbs, 2 g fat.
Flavors: Raspberry Cheesecake, Snickerdoodle, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and more.
Servings Per Container: 23
2. Optimum Nutrition
For a supplement company to be around for over 30 years means they’ve been doing something right. They’ve always provided high-quality supplements and are the go-to brand for many.
I think they could use some improvement in taste, but this protein still tastes good, mixes well without leaving clumps, and has high-quality ingredients.
Per Serving: 24 g protein, 3 g carbs, 1 g fat.
Flavors: Chocolate Hazelnut, Chocolate Malt, Mocha Capuccino, and more.
Servings Per Container: 29
1. Legion Grass-Fed Whey Protein
Legion’s protein is another great one that is sugar-free, non-GMO, grass-fed, gluten-free, and lactose-free. It mixes very well and it’s not chalky at all, but may taste too “watery” for some people.
This brand has only been around since 2017, but they’ve made quite an impact in the industry. I personally love the ingredients and dosages Legion always provides in their supplements.
Per Serving: 22 g protein, 3 g carbs, 1 g fat.
Flavors: Birthday Cake, Mocha, Chocolate, Salted Caramel, and more.
Servings Per Container: 30
Keep in mind that we all have different tastes and needs so you can try some of these proteins, but don’t be afraid to try different kinds!
