Recommendations for unflavored protein powders? (lemmy.world)

Basically the gist of it, I'd like to switch to an unflavored protein supplement. Any recommendations or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I think it is important to know where you are from. If in EU, I recommend HSN, namely the pea protein powder (or soy protein). From an hypertrophy stand-point, they are as good as whey protein (there are randomized controlled trials showing this). They are also much cheaper and environmentally friendly. Though I never tried unflavored!

Interesting! Do you have a source for that?

There are probably several, if you search for them. The one I have handy is this one: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25628520/

And thank you for asking for source! I didn't add them initially because I was lazy. But we should definitely normalize asking for proper literature/sourcing.
