    Default Inspire Protein Powders? Anyone try these?

    I am awaiting my samples of Vanilla and Chocolate from Nashua Nutrtition, but like to look around online for recommendations. I saw INSPIRE protein powder in Caramel Latte and it looked SO GOOD. It say's you can mix it easily with water (nope), milk or unsweetened almond milk (yep) and the nutritional value wasn't bad either:
    calories: 90
    protein: 20g
    Fat: 0
    carbs: 1 g
    Sugar: 0

    They seem to offer a lot of flavors too. I really want things with FLAVOR!! And for economy, I'd like to make my own, in addition to buying the Premier Protein shakes in chocolate. Has anyone tried this brand?

    Nope sorry. It is so hard when you can't get the samples.

    I know... I wish there were SAMPLES for all the companies. My daughter came by last night and told me she bought 2 HUGE protein powders containers (mistake!) , one in vanilla and one in chocolate and wanted to know if I wanted them. She couldn't recall the name. I said 'Sure", so I'll find out what it is she spent $$ on and disliked. Hoping my Samples of Syntrax Matrix Simply Vanilla and Perfect chocolate arrives soon. For now... just drinking my Premier Protein. (Thank God I like it.)

    My Samples Arrived today! I made a shake with the SYNTRAX Matrix Simply Vanilla protein powder. I added in items that I saw posted here by another person and it was GOOD! I used 1 scoop of the Protein Powder; 8 oz. Great Value Unsweetened Almond Milk Vanilla; 1 packet Sugar Free Swiss Miss cocoa; and only 1 scoop of the PB2. I also added 6 ice cubes to the blender and it was a treat. It was 233 calories...more than my premiere protien ready to go shakes, so I will tweek it a bit (cut out the cocoa mix). Also, 29 g protien.
    Next time, I will just use the Milk Chocolate sample powder instead of the SF Swiss Miss, save on calories there. But it tasted so much different (in a pleasant way) from the Whey protein powder I tried a couple weeks back.)

    I have tried dozens and dozens of protein powders and spent so many $$$ on products that I have tossed out-- or given away. They all pretty much sucked but I DID find one recently that another fellow sleever at my gym told me about: Ideal Lean Protein. It is pricey ($49.99) and I wait for the sales - they always have sales -at $24.99 - $29.00. I have bought two big cannisters in a few months time of CHOCOLATE BROWNIE and I can't taste the chocolate or the brownie. 20g protein, there is ZERO carbs and Zero sugar and Zero fat, and only 80 calories. There isn't a horrible foamy taste either. I use 8 oz of unsweetened almond milk to it and I add 1 TBS of powdered peanut butter powder too, when I want a different flavor, and it really fills me up. Ideal Fit is the company (I believe) and they have different types of powders: protein, muscle building (?) and weight loss. I only drink these once a week or so when I need some protein... like after the gym.

    I use Inspire! So far I’ve tried chocolate peanut butter cup,Dutch chocolate cake, and orange creamsicle. Love them! The Dutch chocolate cake was lacking a bit in flavor, so I would add a tablespoon of sugar reee Torani s’mores syrup to it. Delicious!! I always mix them with milk or almond milk.
    I also really like Syntrax fruit flavored protein powders. The lemon iced tea and peach fuzzy navel are amazing.
