Favourite protein shake flavour?

lightspeed

Hi all im curious to know what are peoples favourite protein shake flavours?

I know some prefer to get unflavoured and then at fruit themselves but id imagine that is not the majority of people.

A few years ago there seem to be mainly 3- 4 flavours, namely chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and banana.

However, now there are all sorts of more exotic mixtures from cookies and cream to birthday cake flavour (never tried but assume its quite sweet). I personally think there are too many flavours than necessary.

Im curious to hear opinions from others and whether the majority usually just prefer chocolate, strawberry etc or do most now look soley for the more exotic mixtures?

Im aware that some brands will be differ in taste as some may be sweeter than others but it would still be interesting to hear peoples feedback.

Im not sure if it can be done and im not sure how to do it, but it be good i think if we could get a poll going with a list of flavours and see peoples opinion.

I've regretted it every time I've tried anything other than chocolate or vanilla. The vanilla is also a lot sweeter than it needs to be. Ideally I would cut it half and half with unflavoured and it would probably be ideal.

MyProtein Impact Whey Vanilla is my go to brand

Optimum Nutrition Vanilla was really nice IIRC - but too €€€€

Was stuck once and bought Holland and Barrett Precision Engineered Vanilla Whey - was absolute gick. Tasted more like cinnamon and had a gritty texture.

I like the Bulkpowders vanilla flavour. Somebody mentioned to me recently that the Myprotein sticky toffee pudding flavour is really nice

Vanilla is probably my favorite as others have mentioned its a decent taste.

A few years ago there was just a handful of common flavours as i mentioned and now you have the likes of "tiramisu" and "birthday cake". Although ive not tried either so probably not fair to judge or make any assumption what they taste like.

Just added a poll

I've cast my vote for chocolate mint as i guess its my favourite with vanilla followed by that.

I have tried to put down as many flavours as possible and cant add any more to the poll. If there are any other mix of flavours even homemade flavour mixes not included in the poll, feel free to mention them.

Also just curious, has anyone tried powders with different sweeteners such as stevia? Is there much difference in quality and taste of stevia based flavours as opposed to sucralose which seems to now be a common sweetener?

Go Nutrition to a really nice chowder powder.

Anyone know if its possible to edit a poll?

Not to change the votes of course. I thought I had included Mocha but forgot and only put in latte. I was thinking id take out something like Tiramisu and put in mocha in its place.

Ive heard mocha mentioned before as a decent flavour and i think i tried a sample of it long ago. Im guessing there probably more mocha fans than tiramisu.

I have always found that strawberry is the least worst flavour across all brands I've tried, though strawberry would be never be my preferred flavour generally. I've never had a good vanilla; I've never found the flavour strong enough. I used to like the taste of a product you can buy in the UK in most convenient stores called "Nutrition" that came in a tin can. Banana flavour was my fav but I think it was loaded with sugar.

Just tried Myprotein's coffee caramel - new fave!

I'm greedy and always have two on the go. Vanilla is always great to have for smoothies and changing the flavours. Recently bought the stevia vanilla flavour from MYProtein. Haven't tasted alone yet, I'll update when I have.

Lots rave about the cinnamon roll flavour from MP but I'm not sure I'd take the risk buying it their salted caramel one is fab though, and great for homemade protein bars!

I'm disappointed that there's no Unflavored on the list which is my favorite. I can make up my own flavor if I feel like it.

+1 on that, usually take it with milk. Chuck a few ice cubes in the blender and it's b-e-a-utiful!

My protein- Strawberry Cream. 200ml water, 50 ml cranberry juice, protein (1-2 scoops), 1/2 a banana, 2 large tbsp of natural yoghurt, 1 tsp of chia seeds, 1 tsp peanut butter, 1 handful of frozen berries. Delish.

Is Unflavoured actually unflavoured? I've been having a fruit smoothie for breakfast the last week and really enjoying it, but I'd like to add protein to get me through to lunchtime.

Still really enjoying blueberry. Normally get tired of most others very quickly.

Chocolate coconut is a very close second so I voted for that.
