Best Tasting Vanilla Whey Protein I've tried

With any variety of whey powder, I've found that if I start the blender with just the yogurt, fruit and ice cubes, and get the mixture going BEFORE I add the whey powder, then the powder mixes evenly and smoothly. If I put the powder in the blender with the other ingredients and THEN turn the blender on, the powder is prone to stick to the walls of the blender and otherwise create lumps.
This Pure Protein 100% Natural Whey Protein in Vanilla Creme is the
best I've ever tried, and I've tried more than 6 different kinds. I use
it every morning in a blender-mixed fruit and yogurt smoothie, and it
gives me energy AND keeps me feeling full all morning. This whey powder
is so delicious, I've even made my 80+ year old parents converts to whey
protein smoothies.

Thought I would finally get around to reviewing this product. I've
been using it for a few months now and I really have no complaints. I
stocked up when it was crazy cheap, combined with subscribe and save,
and a coupon code, it came to around $10/tub. I ordered about 10 or so
because I previously tried it and knew what I was getting.
First off I noticed a lot of people complain about the taste. I'm not very picky and i've only tried vanilla by this brand. I find it on par with other vanilla proteins I have tried, actually better to be honest. Anybody who opts for a natural whey will know the taste will never be as good as the regular blends which contain all the chemicals and artificial flavoring that we are trying to avoid - unless you ordered the natural one by mistake? Pure Protein does have regular non natural blends too, so maybe try those. That being said this protein isn't 100% natural like another reviewer stated but its pretty close. I alternate between this whey and Dymatize' natural whey in chocolate. I like the variety between the two. Even the dymatize blend isn't fully natural, neither is ONs natural line. To truly go natural gets awfully expensive, last time I checked $30-40 per 1 pound tub. Its just not worth it to me. I find PP, dymatize, ONs semi natural blend to suffice as its mostly natural, while not being 100% it is nowhere as bad as regular stuff.
This stuff tastes good, mixes easy, and is a bargain(at times). I will continue using it and definitely recommend it. Generally though, those who consume protein often, and other powders know that taste always come secondary. The profile and value always come first.
The only other thing is this contains 5g sugar per serving whereas my dymatize contains none at all. A small complaint but it isn't a big deal to me as my daily sugar intake is low anyways since I eat pretty clean.

Bodybuilding Workout Tips For Everyone
Bodybuilding workouts are not just for men nowadays. Gone are the
days when women stayed away from bodybuilding. Nowadays, you will find
both men and women exercising hard in gyms to have strong and well
shaped bodies. Every second person wants to have a great physique now.
If you are also planning to have appealing washboard abs along with a
well toned body, here are a few useful bodybuilding workout tips:
Understand the difference between different workout routines.
On a basic level, there are 2 kinds of bodybuilding workout routines. It can be full body or split. First, full body workout routine is one that works on your entire body. In a single session, such a routine will directly target several large muscle groups in your body. This type of routine may include shoulders and arms exercises in the beginning, followed by stretches and whole body workouts. Split bodybuilding workout is about targeting certain muscles at a time. On a given week day, you will be doing just one kind of exercise. It is a good idea to ask a fitness trainer to learn more about split workout routines.
Get a clear idea of your body's muscle fiber requirement.
There
is no point of feeling discouraged even if things don't work so well in
the beginning. A bodybuilding workout routine may take a little time to
deliver results. Your body will really start reacting when you stick to
a workout plan for at least 3 months. After about three months, your
body will start reacting to exercise. It is popularly known as muscle
fiber requirement. It is one of the most important bodybuilding workout
tips. The body will start pulling various muscle fibers together at one
place to create muscle curves when the above mentioned muscle fiber
requirement is met. Gaining mass after this stage is easy.
Stick to a routine.
Not everyone chooses to go to a gym. You can always carry on with a bodybuilding workout routine from your home. After learning all important bodybuilding workout tips, you can continue the routine easily. However, getting enrolled into a gym will always be helpful. Achieving a desired health goal will be easier when you are surrounded by likeminded people at a gym. Also, gyms have professional trainers who can guide you on a regular basis. On some occasions, joining a gym can also discourage a person who has just started with a bodybuilding routine. If you have a company, you will have a good time at the gym every day.
Get proper rest.
If you have been exercising hard in a gym, you also need maximum rest. A bodybuilding routine will work best when you have a good diet and rest combo. Never deprive yourself of enough rest. Many people make this mistake. Not taking enough rest may just do the opposite.
Do not take any breaks in the routine. If you start today, continue exercising on a daily basis at the same time. Self discipline is very important.

Bodybuilding Evolution - How Has it Changed?
Has bodybuilding and weight lifting changed over the years? Take one look at performers from fifteen years ago, and the question becomes laughable. Athletes in sports from baseball to football - to even golf - are bigger, stronger, and faster than their mentors ever could have hoped to be. But one area specifically takes the cake, and that's in bodybuilding.
Today's competitors have muscles that are much bigger, more defined, and more symmetrical. Advancement in training techniques and what to eat - nutrition - have given today's strongmen a shape and physique that many thought not even possible a decade ago.
It's still difficult. It still takes patience, dedication, and determination. But now, with so many how-to books and courses (usually written and given by former builders and experts), it's not something that's out of reach for ANYbody, and it's much, much easier.
![]() |
| Heath, Coleman and Cutler |
Go into a gym and look at all the machines designed for a specific group of muscles, created to isolate them. It's staggering, and in no way did the fathers of the sport have access to such creations. Many of them relied on soreness and doctors to tell them what was going on when they did certain lifts. We live in a great time to be a serious weight lifter.

Prior To Bodybuilding, I participated on the University of Denver (Div.1-A) Men’s Basketball team (1998-2002) as a point/shooting guard for the Pioneer’s. This experience there taught me many key lessons such as hard work ethic, self-discipline, respect for others, humility and accountability. I found that even though my collegiate career wasn’t as successful as my high school career, I could still achieve greatness through the many lessons I learned. Being a basketball player was every kid’s dream growing up in my neighborhood and I happened to love it too. I enjoyed practicing for hours on end and because of that, I became better and better. I was rewarded for my hard work and discipline for basketball and academically by DU in being awarded a full student-athletic scholarship.
After my basketball career was over, I continued to train, but now with new guys who in fact where into bodybuilding. I never thought of myself as a bodybuilder, but did see myself quite muscular for a ‘hoopster’, so I gave it a try. I changed my whole workout program from basketball prep, to hardcore training. I actually liked training like this because of my new friends being so competitive. I immediately saw the correlation of hard work and discipline between these two sports, which made me extremely interested in the sport of bodybuilding. I soon learned the mechanics of training like a bodybuilder and loved seeing the pumps in my arms, legs, chest. My friends took notice also, which made me want more. They would push me to new limits every workout which I loved because of the new comraderie I had which was quite similar to the rapport I had with my basketball teammates.
Also, my eating habits took a dramatic turn too, from eating only 3 times, to now 6 to 7 times per day. I new I loved this sport when I would watch bodybuilding events in person or on television, mesmerized by the level of muscularity, balance, symmetry and conditioning.
I started training for my first contest (NPC Northern CO. 2003) on October 8, 2002. I purchased a digital camera and took my very own pre-contest photographs. I continued to do this because it allowed me to view my physique and make adjustments in my training according to my shape and proportion. I felt that the pictures would never lie and they would keep me motivated into being a better bodybuilder day after day. I started out at 185lbs and grew into a 215lbs machine with 6% bodyfat which I found amazing, but achieveable because of my family’s genetics. I competed at the ‘Northern’ as a 192lbs light-heavyweight. I couldn’t believe the sacrifice I had to go through in order to achieve this level of shape and conditioning. I took my novice and open classes, winning the overall men’s title. After that huge win, I was hooked and began training harder and eating smarter.
I competed 8 weeks later at the NPC Colorado State show again as a light-heavy, weighing 196. I competed against many strong competitors and I was honored with straight 1st’s. However, I didn’t win the overall that year, I learned that I must take this sport a lot more serious because I totally relied on my genetics and that cost me to lose by 1 point. Once I enlisted myself into a hardcore gym, I began having a better focus on training. I began to grow and grow and grow gradually throughout the later part of ’03. I had my eyes set on the NPC Junior Nationals, but failed to enter before the deadline. Again, I was reminded that I must take this sport more seriously, just as I did with basketball. I then entered the NPC Colorado State show and took the Mr. Colorado title, competing as a 200lbs heavyweight. I continued to train and that following year entered the NPC Junior Nationals and took the overall there too.
I was on a roll, I couldn’t believe it. On June 20th, I signed with Weider Health and Fitness, which was a true blessing to me thanks to Jay Cutler and Peter McGough. Now with all of these shows under my belt, I felt it was necessary to compete for my pro-card at USA’s. I went up against some of the best physiques in the country and I was very nervous. I knew that by keeping my faith along with my friends being close by, I would manage to take care of business. I spoke with my mentor/big-brother Jay Cutler and Peter McGough, along with others to keep focus on the show and proving to myself and the world that I am coming with my best package. I later that week, I won the USA’s, weighing in at 215lbs and taking overall honors. I was so excited that I didn’t know what to do.
Now, as an IFBB pro, I intend on representing the sport of bodybuilding in a way that many people can relate to and in a way that mainstream society will respect. I hope to be one the greatest of all-time, but even if I fall short of that dream, I want to have as much fun as I possibly can because of one’s career in bodybuilding being so short. I will continue to bring my best package to every contest and also stay humble and personable.

This experience there taught me many key lessons such as hard work ethic, self-discipline, respect for others, humility and accountability. I found that even though my collegiate career wasn’t as successful as my high school career, I could still achieve greatness through the many lessons I learned. Being a basketball player was every kid’s dream growing up in my neighborhood and I happened to love it too. I enjoyed practicing for hours on end and because of that, I became better and better. I was rewarded for my hard work and discipline for basketball and academically by DU in being awarded a full student-athletic scholarship.
After my basketball career was over, I continued to train, but now with new guys who in fact where into bodybuilding. I never thought of myself as a bodybuilder, but did see myself quite muscular for a ‘hoopster’, so I gave it a try. I changed my whole workout program from basketball prep, to hardcore training. I actually liked training like this because of my new friends being so competitive. I immediately saw the correlation of hard work and discipline between these two sports, which made me extremely interested in the sport of bodybuilding. I soon learned the mechanics of training like a bodybuilder and loved seeing the pumps in my arms, legs, chest. My friends took notice also, which made me want more. They would push me to new limits every workout which I loved because of the new comraderie I had which was quite similar to the rapport I had with my basketball teammates.
Also, my eating habits took a dramatic turn too, from eating only 3 times, to now 6 to 7 times per day. I new I loved this sport when I would watch bodybuilding events in person or on television, mesmerized by the level of muscularity, balance, symmetry and conditioning.
I started training for my first contest (NPC Northern CO. 2003) on October 8, 2002. I purchased a digital camera and took my very own pre-contest photographs. I continued to do this because it allowed me to view my physique and make adjustments in my training according to my shape and proportion. I felt that the pictures would never lie and they would keep me motivated into being a better bodybuilder day after day. I started out at 185lbs and grew into a 215lbs machine with 6% bodyfat which I found amazing, but achieveable because of my family’s genetics. I competed at the ‘Northern’ as a 192lbs light-heavyweight. I couldn’t believe the sacrifice I had to go through in order to achieve this level of shape and conditioning. I took my novice and open classes, winning the overall men’s title. After that huge win, I was hooked and began training harder and eating smarter.
I competed 8 weeks later at the NPC Colorado State show again as a light-heavy, weighing 196. I competed against many strong competitors and I was honored with straight 1st’s. However, I didn’t win the overall that year, I learned that I must take this sport a lot more serious because I totally relied on my genetics and that cost me to lose by 1 point. Once I enlisted myself into a hardcore gym, I began having a better focus on training. I began to grow and grow and grow gradually throughout the later part of ’03. I had my eyes set on the NPC Junior Nationals, but failed to enter before the deadline. Again, I was reminded that I must take this sport more seriously, just as I did with basketball. I then entered the NPC Colorado State show and took the Mr. Colorado title, competing as a 200lbs heavyweight. I continued to train and that following year entered the NPC Junior Nationals and took the overall there too.
I was on a roll, I couldn’t believe it. On June 20th, I signed with Weider Health and Fitness, which was a true blessing to me thanks to Jay Cutler and Peter McGough. Now with all of these shows under my belt, I felt it was necessary to compete for my pro-card at USA’s. I went up against some of the best physiques in the country and I was very nervous. I knew that by keeping my faith along with my friends being close by, I would manage to take care of business. I spoke with my mentor/big-brother Jay Cutler and Peter McGough, along with others to keep focus on the show and proving to myself and the world that I am coming with my best package. I later that week, I won the USA’s, weighing in at 215lbs and taking overall honors. I was so excited that I didn’t know what to do.
Now, as an IFBB pro, I intend on representing the sport of bodybuilding in a way that many people can relate to and in a way that mainstream society will respect. I hope to be one the greatest of all-time, but even if I fall short of that dream, I want to have as much fun as I possibly can because of one’s career in bodybuilding being so short. I will continue to bring my best package to every contest and also stay humble and personable.

Ronnie Coleman - Top of His Class
Alongside his eight Mr. Olympia
wins as a professional bodybuilder, Coleman holds the record for most wins as an IFBB professional with 26. He broke the previous record (held by Vince Taylor at 22 wins) in Moscow on November 5, 2004.

Coleman also makes many guest appearances at gym openings all around the U.S. Coleman has also made some training videos. His first Training Video; The Unbelievable; The cost of Redemption; and On the Road. In these videos Coleman gives tips for more experienced weightlifters, while warning against over exertion and improper form.

Coleman supports the Inner City Games, an organization that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger co-founded in 1991. He was the recipient of the 2001 Admiral in the Texas Navy Certificate Award from Texas Governor Rick Perry for outstanding achievements in bodybuilding and for the promotion of physical fitness.
