[quote=Anonymous]What makes it the "best"? I'm really trying to learn here. I feel like all of these are new in common foods, and who knows what they'll be saying about them in a few years.[/quote]

In a nutshell, whey protein has the most variety and highest level of absorbable aminio acids.  This means your body will be able to use the nutrietnts and not just pee them away.  Casein is also good, or a mix of pea and rice if you are vegan, but whey is considered the gold standard.  Honestly, I'd recommend you stay away from anything that says "With added protein!" on the box.  Anything in a package with that type of claim will be ultra processed and any benefits of the added protein will be negated by all the other not good for you stuff in them.  Getting your protein from whole food sources - grass fed/finished beef (the best amino acid profile), pasture rasied chicken, greek yogurt, lentils, green peas, etc - then having protein powder shakes or adding in protein powder to homemade baked goods will give you the highest level of nutrition.  I make a high protein granola with nuts/seeds, vanilla protein power, and peanut buttet that my kids devour.  It takes time but you can figure out ways to add more protein in without the ultra processed stuff.  [/quote]
