20 Best Tasting Protein Powder For Weight Gain (2023 Updated)

Today I tried this whey protein powder for the first time. I’ve been using another brand for the past 8 years so I was a bit hesitant. But I have to say: -it taste good. -Easy to blend. -No aftertaste.

-No bloating. So far I can’t complain. The only thing is the inclusion of Cholesterol on the ingredients list. Sorry my ignorance but I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. #wheyprotein #fitness #goals #lifting #workingout #supplements.

I have been using this for a while now and love it. Take this 30-60 minutes before a workout and it will do wonders for your energy during and after your workout. It helps build and repair muscle to get you to peak performance.

Tastes great, definitely not a strong coconut flavor. Great ingredients.

I use this in protein shakes, typically with unsweetened or chocolate hemp milk (which works a little better than some other non-dairies I’ve tried, in terms of stirring in powders), and it works and tastes great.

With the SFH Recovery (more $$), I’d use it after a workout; with this (regular SFH), I use it a couple of hours ahead of a workout, and continue to enjoy much-improved recovery over long ago before I started using this.

(My workout consistency and intensity has varied, unfortunately, over the years; so it’s not just a matter of getting used to intense workouts. ) I also use this to make delicious protein bars, along with dark-chocolate powder, coconut oil, cashew butter, and (nowadays, being more Keto-focused) a low-carb Stevia sweetener, among one or two other ingredients.

Great stuff. For really intense workouts (which I’m not doing these days), I’d use SFH Recovery afterwards. And static stretching (which seems to really help as well).

I first started having Orgain shakes with Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder a few years ago. They were so delicious. Then the packaging changed and unfortunately the product changed too. I wrote many letters only to be told that the product was the same.

I stopped buying the product. Fortunately I decided to try the product again when I received your email a few weeks ago. It is back to being creamy and delicious. I hope it stays this way.

I sometimes forget to comb over labels, still thinking I can trust “good” companies and the front of their package. Clean Whey may have grass fed whey but it puts it in a “creamer base” that is a lot of stuff I dont want, like sunflower oil and two kinds of manufactured “natural” sweeteners, dextrin, erythritol plus stevia and monk fruit which makes the mix very sweet.

I like to sweeten my smoothies with bananas to make them creamy and this mix becomes way too cloying when i do. It is even too sweet alone from me. They also use gums and bran for thickeners, which is ok for those who dont want to do any work but mix this with milk, but am disappointed.

It should have been labeled as whey smoothie mix, instant breakfast or something else. I just dont see this clean.

I’ll need to look for a new protein powder because the new formula makes it almost undrinkable. While it still smells the same, it now tastes overly sweet and has an artificial after taste. I noticed they no longer include monk fruit and only stevia but there are so many ingredients it is difficult to pinpoint what exactly changed.

I had liked this brand bc of the previous quality (5 stars) for a great price but sadly I won’t be ordering anymore Orgain in the future.

I’ve been using this weight gainer product for about 2 years now. I use one scoop & add other protein foods to substitute another scoop. I blend everything in a blender & has gained 15 pounds. I take breaks from it, then stat back using it.

It has helped me to gain & sustain my healthy weight.

I’ve never tried anything to gain weight, so I bought the chocolate flavor this morning. I had one serving this morning just because I don’t really eat breakfast. I have a really bad diet, I eat like one meal a day because of my school and work schedule.

Or I just eat snacks throughout the day until I can eat dinner. Or I eat fast food. I’m 20 years old and only weigh 100 pounds so I’m really wanting to gain some weight, mainly a booty! I just did a little workout in my room and now I’m on my second serving.

I know I should eat better, but I seriously don’t have time so does anyone know if this product is going to work for me if I drink one or two servings a day and continue on with my booty work outs? Just want to be a little thicker, but I also have had a high metabolism my whole time, it’s really hard to gain weight.

The last time I used this product was in 2014. I see they’ve changed the label since then. But it looks like they’re still making disingenuous claims. Like, 5000 calories? Sure, if you mix one third of the jug with 1 gallon of whole milk.

Who is going to drink all that in one day? And then they say it contains “anabolics” like Deer Antler and Yohimbe. LOL, you call those real anabolics? And even if that stuff is beneficial, do you really think they’d add enough of it to make a difference? It reminds me of bottled ice teas saying they contain ginkgo biloba or pomegranate, but the amount they give you is so miniscule it ain’t gonna accomplish anything.

My other complaint about this product is the cheap carbs. They act like glucose is high-tech, LOL. And then they say it contains “milk solids” for protein. OK, but is it whey or casein? And if it’s whey, what KIND of whey? Isolate, concentrate, or what? Why can’t they tell us? Frankly, I think the main reason people buy this stuff is the whole “Russian” allure, like as if it contains some super-secret Russian steroids or something, LOL.

I mean come on, there are MUCH better products out there. For approximately the same price per pound, you could get Ultimate Nutrition Iso Mass Xtreme Gainer, which has MUCH better ingredients. Or MHP Up Your Mass, which contains complex carbs from oats and barley.

not cheap glucose.

Do not waste your money on this product. This product is now absolutely horrible. It was good before they changed the formula. They took out & lowered some vitamins and minerals. They also lowered the protein & calorie content.

It was called Russian Bear 5000 because when mixed as directed you got 5000 calories per gallon of whole milk when mixed with 5 scoops. I usually got 4 to 5 gallons from one container. You got 184 or so grams of protein mostly from egg whites & healthy fats from coconut mcts.

There was no added sugar & no fat – it even contained molybdenum. When used as directed you’d have a gallon of the stuff ready made so it was easy to just drink a cup of it or make a shake or even pancakes or bread with it.

It was even good with fat free milk, coconut, or almond milk. It was a great product. Now you don’t get 5000 calories, you don’t get 184 gms of protein, you don’t get molybdenum & other stuff. They almost completely changed the formula of something that worked for over 20 years.

Now its just powder. that makes you pee for some reason. I actually just threw 2 sealed canisters in the trash along with a half full one. They [email protected]!%ed up. I recommended it before, but not anymore. I told them this on their website too.

shame on you vitol. shame!.

This stuff is the best. I use it as a meal replacement when I don’t have time to cook or am running around. It has calories, MCT’s simple carbs and it taste great. It’s been around forever. If you follow directions and train hard with a lot of compounds you’ll reap awards.

Old school, I love it. Oh, and combine it with the Russian Bear tablets and Russian Bear Nitro, it’s a trifecta of gains.

True-Mass 1200 by BSN is my go to supplement to ensure I hit that caloric surplus daily. Here’s Why: 1) Tastes Unreal – best tasting shake I’ve ever had 2) Versatility – I use True-Mass as a protein shake before or after gym, or as a meal replacement.

I’m 85kg so even half a serve does the job. 3) EAA’s/BCAAs – each serve contains 25g EAA’s and 12g BCAAs an absolute must for putting your body in an anabolic state. 4) Oats – True-mass contains ground oats, one of the best complex carbohydrates for lifting.

Also oats are great for heart health. 5) Excellent micronutrient profile – contains calcium, iron, potassium and sodium, all which the body needs for intense resistance training. Overall, fantastic product that does exactly what it’s supposed to do: get you huge.

Ima go have one right now.

I’ll be the first to admit that when it comes to eating regularly scheduled meals I fall short most days. This product is a lifesaver when I’m lifting to ensure I’m getting enough calories a day. Most meal replacements that are this high in calories and protein tend to be thicker than pudding but I mix mine with milk (for added calories and protein) and it is an easy drink.

Love the quality BSN always brings to the table.

I used to this product for about four months on a deployment and if you stay consistant it work wonders. I weighed 165 pounds and after about three tubs I weighed 198. All these reviews on here saying it made me more lean and I packed on 50 pounds of muscle in 2 months are jokes.

This product works great but you have to put in the work to really be the person you want to be. This does help you put on the muscle and size that you want though. I imagine all the flavors are great but I have only done Straberry and Vanilla.

Strawberry is my favorite. It is a lot to take down, as it should be because you are trying to take in more calories than you are used to. It doesn’t clump up though, it mixes really well. I have only tried a couple of different mass gainers, but out of all of them this one is my favorite.

I would recommend this Mass gainer over any for the taste alone. Be consistent, put in the work, and see results.

I swear Im the hardest gainer in world history & I already tried 2 extreme cycles of Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals products w/ other GNC protein products, & I also take pretty serious sleep meds, have a very physically demanding job, commute on public transit, & only have 9 hrs.

/night @ home on work days. I dont need the carbs in Serious Mass, but lower calorie proteins were leaving me strained & exhausted after 7 hrs. of sleep. & I also couldnt give a stronger endorsement to Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Protropin, which has given me since the 1st dose a sleep quality I havent had since I was 15 yrs.

old. in ‘04. GNC should offer creatine nitrate too, cuz the recipe Ive discussed here is producing results. I still have flab Im trying to get rid of & the best fat-burner Ive taken so far is NDS Labs Lipo Rush XT, I got it @ a GNC brick & mortar, was the 1st fat burner I ever took last Fall, & its better than Lipodrene Hardcore which I bought from an online GNC competitor.

I started using Pro Gainer in 2014 while deployed and it was the best mass gainer I have ever used. Being deployed, it was hard to eat the food as they were not very good and we worked long hours in the heat so gaining weight was nearly impossible.

The taste was fantastic and the price is reasonable. Pro Gainer gave me the size and strength I always wanted and I use it every now and then to help me bulk.

I was hesitant buying this product due to the fact thinking this will be just another gritty and chunky balled up power drink. I was completely wrong. I use this for post work out mixed with milk. The price might deter others from buying but it is really worth it.

Most noticeable things are not being bloated, tastes very good (double chocolate) and very smooth. Going to try their other gainers and hopefully it’s the same consistency and flavorful.

When I started getting into weight lifting and working out, I loved Using Body Fortress for it’s great value. However, now that I’ve studied nutrition I realize half the stuff I’ve been taking, and eating, were not very healthy for me.

You want calories? Of course you do, you’re bulking! Well this Mass gainer has 630 calories, 62% of which are from the Carbohydrates and 85% of that is Sugar! Guys, more than half of the calories from this gainer are directly from nothing more than simple sugar.

The good: 47G protein per FOUR scoops, which is a decent amount of protein, however the four scoops aren’t always easy to get down. As with most protein supplements it has plenty of BCAA’s and plenty of your daily vitamins in it, if you’re not already getting them from food or a daily vitamin.

It has a decent amount of calories. 630 per FOUR scoops, albeit most are simple sugar. The bad: 50% of the calories are from nothing more than sugar, 47G of protein per the big FOUR scoops is not that great meaning getting your 60-120G of protein per day may be hard with this.

Because of the massive amount of sugar, I have trouble finishing my second tub now (I bought two at once) and I’m regretting buying it. It suggests to mix with milk, but that much sugar mixed in with milk, being of high consistency is just unbearably hard to swallow.

It tastes decent with water, being four scoops it’s hard to mix with a mixer bottle, I use a blender and it gets mixed pretty fine that way. Overall: I don’t suggest this product to anyone, seriously.

If you’re bulking or just need protein, I suggest their 60G protein Whey, it actually tastes great, mixes great and it’s a great value. I started on the 50-60G protein whey that Body Fortress sells and even though I’ve moved on to other protein brands, I still love the taste of Body Fortress 60G protein whey.

Just tried this for the first time tonight so I can’t comment on its effectiveness but I can on the taste. It’s gonna be a struggle getting through this. I’m not used to artificial sweeteners since I avoid them and this has 2 different kinds.

The initial taste isn’t bad but then comes the aftertaste which is gross. That weird slightly bitter artificial taste which comes with sugar substitutes. I used three scoops which is considered one serving in some rice milk.

I will probably do two scoops tomorrow in hopes it will cut down on the aftertaste but it probably won’t. I doubt I will buy this again.

Probably shouldn’t be much help for this product but I’ll review it anyway. I started using this product to try and help me gain weight/bulk up while I was lifting weights. But I started a new job waiting tables at a restaurant at the same time I started using this product.

So therefore I wasn’t able to eat as much as I wanted to while consuming this product on top of it. So for the past two weeks of using this product I haven’t gained any weight, but that’s probably due to interfering factors.

But here is my review of the product from my standpoint: The taste is absolutely incredible as compared to other chocolate protein supplements I’ve taken in the past. Tastes just like a thick chocolate milk.

I try to mix 2 scoops with 16 ounces of water. It can clump pretty badly so make sure you mix it up pretty well. I just use a water bottle, but I’m sure a blender would work much better. I like the high calorie to fat ratio as well because it makes it a little healthier, but I’d like for it to have more protein per scoop.

Since I’m only taking a half serving, I only get about 24g of protein for every shake. But other than that the product is very good. Plus it’s relatively cheap (actually probably incredibly cheap) as compared to other mass gainers.

I couldn’t find it at my local WalMart so I had to end up buying it online but it was still pretty cheap. Overall very good product!.

Great product with amazing results. I heal faster, build strength faster and put on muscle faster. I only recommend you use this if exercising regularly and pushing yourself everytime, otherwise you’ll be consuming a lot of unnecessary stuff.

I went from 2 chinups to 30 chinups. I’m doing one handed push-ups now too. My wife has given up her previous supplements and now only uses my Mutant Mass because of the obvious benefits and great flavours.

I like the cookies and cream personally.

Vanilla mixes well with other things to create diversity in each shake. I packed on 4lbs with just one bag in a caloric surplus with training. Taste great! Could definitely tell a difference in my strength gains after the first week.

I would have one serving before my workout to help increase my carb intake before my lifts for increased energy. This stuff is also loaded with amino acids to help with recovery. Great product I plan to purchase again.

I eat really clean and burn a lot of calories in the gym so I was getting pretty lean but I was getting hungry I’m my workouts and didn’t want to use the glucose in my muscles so I started taking mass halfway through my workouts and it’s done the trick.

No more hunger or lack of energy during workouts and I’m keeping my mass on. Great flavor, a little hard on the mixing but it’s to be expected with the carbs. Overall very pleased and will continue use.

IšverstiShow in original languageI love the taste. I tried the chocolate before and it was good but this one exceeded my expectations. Yes it has sucralose but I don’t care. In the whole picture of a diet and training it’s not the sucralose I’m worried about.

I was looking specifically for something a little more sweet to help me stop craving for sweet stuff in general and this one seems to work perfectly for me. Great product and for what I can see great results.

IšverstiShow in original languageWant a great tasting product to make sure you get the protein levels you know we all need? This is IT! I searched high and low to find a product that supports my nutritional goals.

No added man made sugars! Sure, I get my Macros in everyday, I just want it to be from whole foods and not empty calories. This protein actually tastes like a chocolate shake. I’ve been using this over two years now and cannot find anything better!.

I got the milk chocolate flavor and personally love it. The powder dissolves easily and tastes amazing with either water or milk. I sometimes do 50% water and 50% milk and it tastes so good that way.

I’ve noticed that my muscles are getting stiffer as well since I started taking this protein, when I flex and feel my muscles they are wayyy more solid than what they were feeling like before. While writing this review I just now realized I haven’t had any stomach issues with the protein as well.

So far my experience with this protein powder is definitely up there with some of the best all around for me. Also, I’m not sure if this matters to anyone but the container is extremely high quality.

The lid screws on smoothly and I love that the tub is clear so that I can see exactly how much I have left.

It was a little too sweet tasting for me, which is why I took off a star. But that’s personal preference of course. Overall I like the product a lot and feel it’s good quality. Will continue to purchase the protein, however, may just switch up the flavor.

Also, I love that they include free samples of different products with every order so far. It’s a fun bonus for me and also good business on their part because I will likely purchase some of the items in the future.

I first tried Whey-ISO a few weeks ago and I’m hooked. The flavors are delicious. I chose chocolate and vanilla cream pie and they’re absolutely delicious In my smoothies. I can’t wait to try Peanuts Butter.

This stuff is delicious, high quality protein. The only complaint I would have is the container size. I would really love to see a doubled size in the future. Other than that I’m Hooked for life.

I got sick and lost a lot of weight, when I got better and was able to eat, this product helped me gain my weight back and more. Great product, I’ve been using it for years.

Bring back the original chocolate flavor. PLEASE! I bought both cinna bun and frosted flurry with so much excitement on release day. To say these flavors are a disappointment is putting it lightly. Aside from smelling horrendous, the taste is absolutely awful.

I tried both powders in shake form and overnight oats. I wasn’t even halfway through when I tossed it in the trash. For being 0g of sugar, they are ridiculously sweet and taste artificial. Not pleasing to the pallet whatsoever! Save your money, folks.

The original chocolate flavor was the BEST!.
