What’s in your bottle? There’s no shame in asking. With so many protein powders on the market, and so many people becoming aware of the performance, recovery, and health benefits of adding a bit more protein to their diet, we’re all on the hunt for the best flavors, the best ingredients, and of course, the best price.
Here’s what you told us you love!

As long as athletes are slamming protein shakes, they’ll be choosing Gold Standard 100% Whey. It’s been the most popular protein on Gym2k.com—and pretty much on the planet—for as long as some of us have been alive, and definitely as long as we’ve been chasing gains. Much of what is state-of-the-art today was started by Optimum, and their flavors and manufacturing remain top notch. It’s the go-to for all manner of smoothies and whey protein recipes, and remains a perfect meal replacement in a pinch.

Runners-Up
Dymatize ISO100

Why do we—and you—love ISO100? Let us count the wheys. For one, it is the preeminent “gimme the protein, and nothin’ but the protein” supplement for any time of day. A single scoop has 25 grams of protein, coming from isolate, concentrate, and hydrolyzed whey. Those 25 grams include both 5.5 grams of BCAAs and 2.7 grams of leucine, so there’s no doubt that you’re getting serious muscle fuel in each serving.
JYM Supplement Science Pro JYM

All hail the king of blended proteins! With 40 percent whey, 50 percent casein, and 10 percent egg-white protein in every scoop, Jim Stoppani’s protein powerhouse sets you up for hours of amino acid delivery no matter when you take it. It blends perfectly on its own, but also plays nicely with fruit, beets—yes, beets—and can even beef up savory dinner recipes. No matter if you’re doing one of Jim Stoppani’s flagship programs, Shortcut to Size, Shred, or Strength, or just following the incredible workouts he puts on Gym2k.com regularly, save room for Pro-JYM.
MuscleTech Nitro-Tech 100% Whey Gold

What do you love about Nitro-Tech Whey Gold? The fact that it offers 24g of whey per scoop, with both isolate and whey peptides, is a great start. But MuscleTech’s premium whey also offers a solid 4g of glutamine, and… this part has something to do with it, we’re pretty sure… unique and crave-able flavors like vanilla funnel cake, churros, and New York berry cheesecake. This is first-class grow food, people.
