I haven’t been making regular postings about my TrueNutrition.com whey experience.
I’ll just say this.
I cannot do the artificial flavored whey. The Luscious Peach, the Wild Berry, whatever… all the artificially flavored stuff is just way too sweet. Candy sweet, kid cereal sweet. It’s just hard for me to take. Part of me really loves it, and wants to keep loving it, but it’s just not doing it for me.
I just ordered 10# of unsweet chocolate whey isolate cold filtered. Yes, unsweet, and then I’ll add a teaspoon or two of raw sugar to it. It’s not enough to make it candy-sweet, but enough to take the edge off it. That should work for me.
I like it better too. I’m getting pure isolate (i.e. more agreeable with the digestive tract), and the price is quite competitive with other brands like say Optimum Nutrition’s 100%, which has a lot of whey concentrate and other things. I have noticed to keep costs down True Nutrition is pretty no-frills, but that’s fine… I’m not buying packaging or marketing.
So here’s where things end in my exploration… at least, for now. 🙂
Stuff From Hsoi 
You must try egg white protein, pea protein, rice bran protein or hemp protein – all far healthier than dairy derived whey protein
I’ll probably rotate through the various offerings TrueNutrition.com has at some point.
I wish I could get their website to work 😦 Can’t get an order through – and calling them just seems… wrong…
I’ve heard interesting things about hemp protein, but… I think I’d rather look at the beef protein isolate, personally, in the end. Less insulin spike than dairy, but less questionable composition than plant derived proteins (although, at some point, I’m not sure there’s really all that much difference, in the end… certainly not at a macro level…)
TrueNutrition.com’s website isn’t working? Bleah. Hopefully just a temporarly glitch.
The beef isolate, while a nice alternative, I’m still not sure on. I mean yeah, on the macro level it doesn’t really matter. But 1. the beef has a lot more sodium per serving, which will add up over the course of a day, 2. on the amino level I do like how the whey is higher in BCAA’s.
But again, I’ll probably try it sooner or later and see how it or any other non-dairy powders work for me.
