Basically the gist of it, I’d like to switch to an unflavored protein supplement. Any recommendations or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
I think it is important to know where you are from. If in EU, I recommend HSN, namely the pea protein powder (or soy protein). From an hypertrophy stand-point, they are as good as whey protein (there are randomized controlled trials showing this). They are also much cheaper and environmentally friendly. Though I never tried unflavored!
I’ve been using an eu based mix of organic pea, rice, and hemp protein. Blandest thing I’ve ever had, but gets the job done. I’d recommend a brand, but you can find it from a bunch of different sellers, always selling the same mix in a brown bag, just with a different label on it.
In the na, my my favorite was sun worrier. Good vegan mix, good results.
It comes down to a few factors, only you can decide which are important to you:
- Completeness (amino acid profile)
- Palatability (including texture/dissolvability)
- Tolerability (stomach upset/flatulences)
- Price
- Moral/Environmental concerns (packaging, freight length, plant based vs animal based,…)
No easy best for you answer anyone could give, really. Personally, I have a very robust stomach and I don’t have financial troubles, so I primarily go by taste and moral concerns.
Good old whey protein isolate is your best bet
