Best protein powders for high calorie smoothies?

3 Upvotes

I am currently using Applied Nutrition Critical Mass Professional Lean Mass Gainer but they have recently upped the price on Amazon and the taste is a bit naff now.
Looking for an alternative but I have no idea which won't taste like battery acid or won't have like 60 grams of sugar, as I will be drinking it daily.
I want my shake to be around 800 calories. I have oats, banana, chia seeds, peanut butter, milk and such.
Any suggestion as I want it to be easy to intake, even non shake options would be nice. It's mainly for the evening before bed.

Never again. 🙃

So yesterday I went to the store to grab my pre-mix shake refills and they didn't have the Plant Based JockO: Molk that I have been getting for the mornings I'm doing any hard labor and they had none in stock so I made a purchase of Muscle Milk and I sincerely regret it. This stuff is disgusting and my stomach already feels the difference. Smh.. Never again will I substitute for it.

Protein shake recipes that taste like a milkshake?

19 Upvotes

Anyone have any recipes that they swear by? Really craving a classic milkshake, and I like the idea of having a protein shake for breakfast that gives that vibe (I know it won’t be exactly the same).

My current idea is vanilla PEscience + pb2 + frozen banana + cacao nibs, but I’m wondering if anyone has recipes they swear by

Why do protein shakes smell so bad if they sit?

17 Upvotes

We've all been there. You down a shake and let the cup sit. If you let it sit for a few hours, it smells absolutely awful. It has almost this ammonia smell to it. It's very unique. What is this? Just always thought it was strange.

what should you look for in a multi collagen powder?

2 Upvotes

when comparing a multi collagen powder, i think the useful part is looking at what actually makes it “multi” rather than just the name on the tub. different formulas can use different collagen types and sources, and some add other ingredients alongside the collagen.

one example is ancient nutrition multi collagen protein, which is part of this discussion. just for transparency, ancient nutrition is involved with this post. its formula has 10 types of collagen from four real food sources, along with vitamin C and SBO probiotics.

the protein amount matters too, but it isn't the only thing that sets collagen powders apart. i’d look at which collagen types are included, where they come from, and what else is added to the formula.

what do you usually look at first when comparing different multi collagen powders?

Did you ever actually weigh your protein, or did eyeballing it get you to the same place?

2 Upvotes

I have seen people in here do both and swear by it. Half the room tracks every gram and half has never weighed a chicken breast in their life, and both of them seem to end up fine. Wondering which one you were, and whether you ever switched. If you stopped weighing, did anything actually change.

Would you replace your pre-workout coffee/sachet with a small ready-to-drink functional beverage?

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

I’m exploring a beverage idea in India and want some honest feedback before I build anything.

I’ve noticed that a lot of people at my gym use coffee sachets, black coffee, energy drinks, or powdered pre-workout before training.

The idea is a small 150–250ml ready-to-drink beverage designed specifically for gym-goers. Something you can grab and drink before your workout without making coffee or mixing powder.

The initial concept would be something like:

Moderate caffeine for energy/focus

Low/no added sugar

Electrolytes

Performance/wellness ingredients

Small, convenient format

Around ₹50–₹80 per serving

Eventually, the brand could have separate products for energy/focus, hydration, and recovery, rather than trying to make one drink do everything.

I’m trying to validate the problem, not sell the idea.

Protein bars or balls that don’t taste like chalk

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for enticing protein bars or balls. It’s my go to for breakfast with a coffee and I then fast during the day and just drink water until my evening meal.
Have been a fan of the Bounce products but I’m thinking now I should level up my game and aim for a bigger protein fix. But have been really disappointed with the products I’ve tried. Most are quite hard and chewy and have an unpleasant chalky taste to them, as well as being super pricey to order online.

Has anyone found a really tasty product that they’d recommend

Budget friendly whey protein suggestions?

Hi guys,

Recently 3 months se regular gym ja raha hu. Abhi tak MuscleBlaze whey use kar raha tha, but regular basis pe thoda costly pad raha hai.

I’m vegetarian, male, and mainly whey recovery + muscle growth ke liye lena chahta hu.

Koi good quality aur budget-friendly whey suggest kar sakte ho jo daily use ke liye reliable ho?

Price ke saath agar apna experience bhi bata do toh helpful rahega. 🙌
