Top 10 Protein Powders That You NEED To Try & Will Love

The supplement world is becoming increasingly competitive and is full of brands promising the best products, so here at Gymfluencers we have found you the top 10 protein powders that you NEED to try & will love.

It’s safe to say that we have tried and tested a lot of protein powders over the years with some being incredible and that we still use but others tasting like chalk, not mixing well, being a complete rip off and also some that don’t exactly disclose their entire ingredients list. We work with many top supplement companies directly such as CNP, Efectiv, MyProtein, Grenade and many more and what we are finding now is the passion behind the ingredients, sustainability and where the protein is coming from.

In this top 10 protein powders that you NEED to try & will love review piece we have included regular protein powders, WHEY protein, clear Whey and a couple of curve balls such as protein collagen and of course a couple plant-based proteins. Plant-based protein is the largest growing market in the supplement industry with TB12, Feel, Bulk and many others really pushing that pea protein is better than traditional whey. We have not separated these protein sources as this is an overall review so this is a review for all readers no matter what your dietary requirements are.

When looking at the the best protein powders we consider:

1. Price
2. Taste
3. Company ethics
4. Sustainability
5. Grams of protein per serving
6. Calories
7. Branding
8. Choice

1. Efectiv Nutrition Biscuit Spread Flavour Whey Protein Powder.

2. Ghost Lifestyle Cereal Milk Whey Protein Powder.

3. Myoband Oblivion Plus Hydrolysed Protein Powder.

Efectiv Nutrition Biscuit Flavour Whey Protein Powder

Efectiv Nutrition is based in East Yorkshire and was founded in 2013 by Bosy Temple wholesale to then be acquired in 2018 by the current owners Peak Distribution. Currently sponsoring and endorsing strongman Graham Hicks it’s a brand that is pushing the envelope in 2022 by providing it’s customers with the highest quality products, recipes and accessories.

Having tried many flavours from the Efectiv Nutrition whey protein powder selection including peanut butter cups and salted caramel, the standout flavour that made it onto our Top 10 protein powders that you need to try & will love was biscuit which is of course a slight spin and nod to everyone’s favourite spread Biscoff! Easy to drink with water, milk or a none dairy alternative, mixes instantly and is just one of those drinks that you look forward to drinking each and every day. There is also very little difference in the flavour if you use 1 or 2 scoops which is rare for a powder but that just shows how good the flavour profile is here and that it’s not watered down easily.

Efectiv Nutrition branding is one of those that makes you want to try each and every flavour. A milkshake menu vibe that has your mouth watering is all that it can be compared to. Great colours, vivid text and a great use of imagery. What we did really like is the pack that the protein powder arrives in rather than those bulky tubs which do not exactly recycle well. It’s easy to just store in your cupboard and doesn’t take up any room at all in your recycling bin.

Ghost Lifestyle Cereal Milk Whey Protein Powder

The lifestyle brand that is taking over social media, Ghost was founded in 2016 by Ryan Hughes and Daniel Lourenco who were both fitness addicts who decided that there was a giant gap in the market for them to fill. Ryan Hughes is the brains behind the marketing and branding whilst Daniel Lourenco is the man with the formulas, science and flavours.

Ghost managed to achieve what many others could not and that is developing collaborations with some food and drink giants that include:

1. Oreo.
2. Sour Patch Kids.
3. Welch’s Grape.
4. Sonic.
5. Warheads.
6. Chips Ahoy.
7. Nutter Butter.
8. Bubblicious.

This gave them the opportunity to offer flavours that the public were already familiar with and to of course increase branding exposure through every channel possible.

Ghost also signed many athletes to their program that includes Alphaland owner Christian Guzman, YouTube star Maxx Chewning and Ally Besse. Alongside protein powder, Ghost also sells Burn (fat burner), Aminos, BCAA, Legend (pre workout), vitamins and apparel.

Ghost Lifestyle cereal milk whey protein powder made our list due to just how delicious this basic, none collaborated flavour is. It mixes instantly and can even be added to your cereal to really help kickstart your day off. It’s a generic flavour that outdoes pretty much everything else on the market. It’s also good to know that it’s also soy and gluten free.

Myoband Oblivion Plus Hydrolysed Protein Powder

As a 3+ year user of this product it had to make the list. Sometimes for me it was impossible to drink another shake and I need to make sure I was hitting my daily protein goals so through Eddie Hall’s endorsement I found Myoband Oblivious plus that is perfect for intra and post workout protein consumption. It is also packed with electrolytes so it also helps with hydration which prevents cramps and muscle damage.

The difference between hydrolysed protein powder is that it’s a refreshing drink in fruity flavours just like a fruit juice which means it can be drank quickly, easily and efficiently. Hydrolysed protein benefits include increased and faster availability of amino acids, faster recovery and it’s even ideal for the elderly population.

Myoband Oblivion Plus is available in 6 flavours that are Red Berries, Blackcurrant, Blood Orange, Lemon & Lime, Strawberry & Watermelon and English apple. Our favourite is Red Berries which mixes really well with cranberry juice if you are following Eddie Hall’s recommendation on how to consume it.

CNP Salted Caramel Whey Protein Powder

OK, so the truth is CNP make a lot of great flavours and their actual best ever was the limited edition sticky toffee pudding but asides from that their salted caramel choice is the next best and you need to try it.
