Started lifting again after an extremely long hiatus a few weeks ago. Did the typical uneducated consumer thing and bought the first thing I saw on the shelf and have learned that I probably overpaid for unnecessary shit. I'm about out of that stuff now and will be looking for a new protein that I could use long term. I like to find good brands and stick with them especially for consistency sake since I'm just starting out.

I'd prefer 100% whey concentrate but it seems like everything is a concentrate/isolate blend. Not a deal breaker but it seems like the most logical option. I'm open to feedback about that point if I'm mistaken.

Another nice option would be something I could take daily. Most days I can get close to my 0.8/1 gram per lb goal but there are days where I fall short and it would be nice to have something that's not jacked with whatever post workout bullshit they cram into this stuff (creatine etc.). The powder I have currently has added amino acids and "green blend digestive something or another" that I don't feel like I need any extra of so I'm really only consuming it post workout.

Any input is appreciated.

Milk, banana, honey, cocoa or peanut butter powder.

Milk, strawberries, honey.

Water, ice, coldbrew coffee - this one is pretty good actually.

In the summer you can buy any frozen fruit and blend it with whey and milk, then pour it in an insulated bottle for post workout refreshment.

If you are watching your calories, just mix it with water. You get used to the sadness, eventually.

Coffee sounds like the minimum I could handle lol. Idk about plain. Might have to grab a smaller bag and try a few things out. Thanks you gave me something to consider.
