Protein powder isn't intended to be the most delicious supplement on the shelves, but PE Science flavors are an exception to the rule. Snickerdoodle is this editor's personal fave, but there's also Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Cookies 'n Cream, Frosted Chocolate Cupcake, Blondie, and Gourmet Vanilla to taste in the Select collection alone.

The brand also launched chocolate and vanilla vegan powders this year, as well as a line of protein coffee blends in order to incorporate additional macronutrients to a morning fix. One scoop translates to about 20 grams of protein, and features pre-digested leucine peptides to spike blood levels, muscle protein synthesis, and lean-muscle building.
