This is our pick for the best protein powder to men, thanks to its high protein content, clean ingredient list, and great flavor. Our tester Pete rated it a 5 out of 5 for flavor. He noted that the protein powder is fairly sweet, as the brand uses a combination of stevia and OvaSweet, saying: “There is a slight stevia aftertaste. It feels creamy. Would I drink this again? Yes, I’d drink this protein powder again.” Pete said that it has what he’d describe as a natural flavor profile—you can taste the vanilla, but it’s not overbearingly sweet.Read B BarBend BarBend · 93K subscribers · Oct 2017
