Best Protein Powders of 2025

"I've been using the Gold Standard French Vanilla protein powder, and I'm absolutely loving it! The flavor is smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet, making it the perfect balance. I usually mix it with almond milk, and it tastes just like a vanilla milkshake. It blends so well, with no clumps, which is super convenient for quick shakes on busy days. Post-workout, it has been fantastic for recovery, keeping me feeling full and energized without any bloating. I appreciate the clean ingredients—just quality protein with no unnecessary fillers."

"I've tried various flavors of ON Gold Standard Whey, and while they all have similar nutritional values, they vary greatly in taste. My wife and I include these protein shakes in our daily diet, and I constantly find myself returning to ON for the price, nutritional value, and especially the taste. Among the flavors, Rocky Road stands out as the best, with no real aftertaste, making it a flavor I could drink all day. However, some flavors, like Double Rich Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream, were disappointing due to their fake taste."

"This protein powder does exactly what I need it to do. It keeps me feeling full after a workout, reducing my urge to snack excessively afterward. The flavor is good and not too overpowering, plus it dissolves effortlessly, even without a shaker cup. It also contains a significant amount of potassium, which is beneficial for me since I often suffer from muscle cramps. Overall, it's a great-tasting and effective protein powder at a fair price. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a solid protein supplement."

"I've recently tried Premier Protein Powder in Vanilla Milkshake flavor, and I'm thoroughly impressed!

"I've used many protein powders over the years, and this one is in my top 3. It's super affordable, has no nasty aftertaste, and mixes well with other ingredients.

"After two years on an isolate protein from GNC, I felt like I hit a plateau. Despite losing 60 lbs, I'm still trying to shed another 30 lbs. This new protein powder has a great coffee flavor that gives me the energy I need for my physically demanding job.

This protein powder has been a game-changer for my post-workout routine, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a delicious and reliable option.”

“I was pleasantly surprised by how easily the Extreme Milk Chocolate flavor dissolves. Just a quick stir with a spoon, and it's ready to enjoy. The taste is reminiscent of creamy chocolate milk, which is a far cry from other brands that tend to be thick and chunky. I must admit, I wouldn't recommend the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor since it tends to clump together. However, the Extreme Milk Chocolate is superior in every way!”

"I love Ghost proteins! They mix well with both milk and water, and I appreciate their unique flavors. I especially enjoyed the Chips Ahoy flavor, which feels like a treat without the guilt. However, I wasn't a fan of the Oreo flavor, which had an odd fruity scent that didn't appeal to me."
