Pure-Whey By Prolab

Pros: Mixes easily
Cons: Contains sugar

I stumbled upon ProLab Pure Whey when I was looking for my regular protein powder at the local fitness store. TwinLab Gainers Fuel 2500 is the product that I normally depend on since it is fat free, sugar free and loaded to the gills with amino acids....

Pros: So inexpensive, well worth the cash, tastes great and works great
Cons: Had to dig for the scoop

For those of you who don't know, whey protein is considered to be the top notch protein for adding muscle. Protein is essential to anyone who wants to add muscle or lose weight. It is very hard to get the amount of protein your body needs to become a...

Pros: Low cost, more grams of protein per serving than most, quality whey protein, taste
Cons: Some carbohydrates

The hours I spend in the gym rob my body of essential nutrients that my normal four to five meal-a-day diet cannot replenish. I would love to buy one of those 40-gram whey protein bottled drinks, but $4.50 is too steep a price for an economical consumer...

Pros: cost effectiveness, taste is not horrible, good quality protien
Cons: does not mix as easily as claimed w/o a blender

I selected ProLab's PureWhey after evaluating several other "musclebuilding" protein drinks, and have found that this product gives you the most protein for the dollar, based on what I've been able to see on the internet and in nutrition...

Pros: Great price, Cheaper than SRP, mixes well, good protein value
Cons: More expensive products DO taste and mix better

As an intermediate weightlifter/bodybuilder I am always in search of a dietary supplement that can help me to achieve and maintain my fitness goals.
I have a need to add muscle building protein to my diet. I don't want to do this by eating...

Pros: Cheap, Easy to find, Reputable Company
Cons: Hard to mix, Taste is bad when mixed with water

I am no newbie to protein powders I have tried many different brands of protein powders, but I seem to always come back to ProLab because of the price and the quality of the company. ProLab is a reputable company that has been around for a while and I...

Pros: Lots of protein.
Cons: Do you really need it? Expensive.

I got sucked in by the Protein explosion. After reading one bodybuilding magazine after another I was sure Protein was my ticket to a better body. I started slurping shakes for breakfast, and included them with lunch or dinner. And my body did not change...

Pros: Little fat, no sugar, lots of amino acids.
Cons: Like all protein powders, Pure Whey doesn't taste good.

I started taking Pure Whey when a friend of mine who works at the Vitamin Shoppe gave me some free samples. The fact that they were free played a big part in my conversion to Pure Whey.

As far as taking any protein supplement goes, the rule...

Pros: Helps put on muscle slowly, speed up metabolism, decent taste
Cons: Indigestion

When I started lifting again in college, I wanted to put on some more mass as well as raise my lifts. Protein drinks are very interesting because in my opinion they are not "the miracle shakes" or "death in a bottle." Protein itself helps repair and...

Pros: Very cost efficient, 20 grams protein per scoop
Cons: None

Prolab protein is probably one of the cheaper brands of protein available, however, this doesn't mean the quality is worse than competing brands.

At around 20 grams of protein per scoop, Prolab whey protein has about the same as other brands. It is also comparable in other nutritional content such as fat and carbs.

There are plenty of flavors available and are easy to make without a blender. A cup with a cloesable lid will do the trick with about 30 seconds of vigorous shaking.

TIP - Use skim milk if you find 1% or 2% milk creates a thick and hard to ingest shake.

Pros: Great taste. Cheap!
Cons: Doesn't mix well without a blender.

The chocolate version of this powder tastes great when mixed with milk (maybe a little honey or a banana) in a blender. Key words "IN A BLENDER". If you try to mix with a spoon, you'll be gulping big clots of the stuff (which I do when I dont have time to use the blender). The taste is great compared to other brands. The price is right on the money.
