I haven't been in the fitness scene for quite some time. I've always sticked with Optimimum Nutrition (ON) 10lbs Dark Chocolate Flavor. But for some reason (I'm not sure why as I'm not monitoring the market closely), they are longer selling 10lbs but only 5lbs. One of the online sellers told me it's because the company isn't making enough profits from selling the big 10lbs packs. Obviously the 5lbs option isn't the most cost-effective, so I switched to Myprotein Impact Whey Protein 2.5kg (Vanilla) for about RM280. That's about 5.5lbs, not much of a difference actually.

Unfortunately the mixability is kinda bad, I often get clumps of powder in my drink rather than how smooth it was with ON back then.

So is there any brand that can satisfy the following criteria that I can consider?

1. Don't have too much added junks
2. Good value for money (not necessarily the cheapest)
3. Not tasting too ridiculous that I dread it
4. Not causing gastrointestinal issues for most people (I understand this may vary from person to person)

Thanks in advance to all the masters and sifu sekalian notworthy.gif

P.S: Asking here cause the options I might get on Youtube / Reddit are mostly from US and might not be available in the local market. Also focus on the topic and don't say chicken breast/eggs are cheaper cause we all already know!

Tastes not that bad just like plain coco powder but one thing I just noticed when put in water/milk better drink it immediately because tastes weird or should I say expired drink
