10lbs of some of the best tasting, high quality Protein Powder!

Thanks for the heads-up! Different nozzles weren't on my radar. I wouldn't have thought wouldake a difference unleaa the orifice size were different but good to know.

Currently using it outside so the noise doesn't bother me too much. Eventually, I'll want to add a quick disconnect hose bib in the garage and a shelf + reel for the pressure washer/hose aetup but I'm a ways away from that. I could alsoaie a baffle for it if the noise was too much.

Casein? Just asking since I've been buying 10lb mylar bags from NOW. Ever since prices for ON's Gold Standard Natira Wheyl exploded to the absurd, I've been looking for another fillerless/junkless alternative. Whey is my primay but I sometimes mix in some casein.

So I have a rather large LP collection, and I've been cleaning them over the last year....
so needed to restock my record sleeves...

Great question and spot on with the enormous price increase on quality Whey.
I am happy to say and show you that the first and second ingredients are, Isolate and Whey. Which as you know, are the best form of protein powder.
The Price was too good to pass up!

Me like. Looks a lot like the 2019 540i I had. And oh yes the upgraded interior (which I think you got from the peak inside) is one of my must haves on BMW. I think my wife has a sensitive tush.

Anything but black! We already have Cognac in the X5 so the Ivory White will be something different.

I have the cognac in my X5 also. On Lime Rock gray metallic paint.

Yikes…

My takeaways:

- price, expensive. I’m paying that much for what I’m taking at Costco, and the serving size on that is 70g (Costco’s 42g), so it’ll not last as long
- ingredients: Canola Oil? All of the other crap you don’t need? Whey concentrate?
- protein per serving, lower than it should be (32 vs 36)

Consider this instead:

I've tried that. Didn't like it. I'm OK with some veggie oil. As long as it's not loaded with sugars, blends effortlessly and tastes VERY good, it's a winner for me. I've been in this fitness and protein game for over 30yrs. So I'm picky to say the least. I've bought tons of the stuff in those years and I've thrown away a shit ton as well. But hey, variety is the spice of life.
Forgot to mention... I mix it up literally. I rotate between this, Iso pure, Body Fortress and. ON, in keeping with the whole "variety" I mentioned.

That’s true too, mixing it up is good I think.
I also have another one in the morning, with a lower protein number (24g), but a mix of 6 protein sources. Recommended by a nutritionist, as the other protein sources are slower delivery, so they work throughout the day (whey is fast delivery, so you kind of “lose it” too quickly).

Right protein for the right time. I tend to mostly use whey isolate or casein depending on when I take it. Sometimes I use a mix of both. When I'm on travel, I'll pick up Premier Protein of Muscle Milk shakes as they are widely available, even in the remote places I go.

That 'is' a long ingredient list and lot of filler, though, TX. For a 70g serving, less than half is protein. If it works for you, though, all good. I also totally get the unfortunate trade-off between quality product/protein/BCAA profile and taste.

Here's the what I'm currently taking, Whey Protein Isolate and Micellular Casein; both from NOW. The whey is on the lighter end for grams/serving but it has a relatively small ingredient list and only a handful of 'other' per serving. It isn't as chocolate-y as the Double Rich I used to get from ON but adding a scoop of natural or dutch cocoa does the trick for me. Adds fiber, too. lol

Great conversation guys regarding protein. And I will definitely admit, the one I posted is more on the Meal Replacement side of things.
Here's my splurge Protein that I finished up. For overall quality, it's one of my Favs. However, at twice the cost, or @ $100 / 5lbs. My 2 teenage boys also share, so we go through protein regularly.

Quad Lock MAG mount with wireless charging. The close shot makes it look a lot bigger than it is. I'll grab Wifey's phone later to take a shot of my iPhone mounted. I also had to replace my older Quad Lock case with a new MAG case.

I've been buying parts for this for a while now, but it's finally close to being done. I repurposed an old cabinet in the basement to be my network closet. Aside from the modem/router/switch/patch panel, there are two RPi boxes and a Dell box (headless). There is a temp sensor in the upper left corner and a door sensor, so when I open the cabinet, the strip light turns on and then off when I close the doors.
