There is often a negative stigma attached to protein powder where women are concerned because they believe that it will make them too “bulky.” This couldn’t be further from the truth, and they can actually help you lose weight! Here are the best-tasting protein powders for women.
Adding protein powder to your healthy diet can provide some of the following benefits:
- Cut calories and slims you down by adding more satiating protein to your diet
- Better results from your workouts if you are currently active
- Helps satisfy your cravings and your sweet tooth with delicious flavors
Many women fall short when it comes to consuming enough protein and this can not only keep you from getting that slim, strong, and sexy physique, but also hinder your weight loss efforts.
Protein helps to build muscle, burn fat, and keep you full between meals. Just make sure you’re getting in enough vegetables into your diet as well. The vegetables will help you digest the higher amounts of protein.
It can be hard to get in enough protein in the day, especially when you don’t want to eat meat at every meal (and probably shouldn’t). These protein powders are designed just for women and will help you meet those protein numbers much easier!
The best way to consume them is to add them to smoothies or just straight to milk (tastes like vanilla or chocolate milk, depending on what flavor you get!).
We have ranked them based on ingredients and taste! Shake things up and give them a shot!

2. Dymatize ISO – 100
Dymatize ISO 100 isn’t specifically for women, but it’s what I personally used for over 2 years. I tend to switch protein powders every few months to get some variety, but the flavor of the “Gourmet Chocolate” of this brand is by far my FAVORITE!
It literally tastes like a chocolate brownie or cake in your cup. It’s delicious and a must-try! You can save a lot more money buy getting this one in a large, 5-lb tub, but you can also go with the smaller tub if you just want to give it a try.
Other Flavors: Just about everything you can think of, including banana, cookies and cream, cinnamon bun, etc.

1. FitMiss Delight

If weight loss is your goal, this is a MUST-TRY!!!

Always remember to listen to your body when you’re trying out new foods, diets, and supplements. If you decide on #1 but feel that it is lacking in some way, go ahead and try #2.
