What products do you guys recommend (protein + creatine)?

I'm expecting a shipment of protein soon. I'm finally stepping away from my recent (2-3 year) love affair with ON to try something new. I've ordered 4 lbs of Universal Nutrition Animal Whey (choc choc chip), as well as two 4 serving samplers (choc mint & banana cream).

I've been switching up my creatine more frequently. I really liked Controlled Labs Green Bulge (made quick gains, I usually do really well on creatine though). I'm trying EVLUTION NUTRITION creatine+ (powder version) next.

Looking for opinions on the current order (everything purchases on sale btw) and that may inform future orders. My only interest is to find what's effective. taste is secondary but of course it matters.

I've tried the following throughout the years:

ON GS
BSN Whey
Now! Whey
Cellucor
Pro Jym
MuscleMilk

Just ordered BPI Best Protein but haven't tried this one yet.

In my opinion, the best one in terms of taste and mixability would be Pro Jym cookie but it's the most expensive.

As for effective that can only be determined by you and what you want...
What sources of protein do you want? Do you want a mix? How fast absorbing? All that good stuff.

I'd recommend Pro Jym.

As for creatine, I've always used ON Creapure Creatine without any issues but I think you use this one.

I've tried Creapure briefly but I think that's when I switched to Green Bulge and stuck with it. I like ON's stuff but to date my experience is that Green Bulge is the best creatine I've tried.

I prefer a lean protein (i.e., not heavy carb junk) that's quickly absorbed if possible. The idea for me is to get an isolate with a great BCAA profile. Infinit Raw (Canadian stuff, NZ sourced) is a good enough example.

I've been thinking about trying Pro Jym. I've tried Jym Shred Gym and it can be a pre-workout or a way to get lean faster. Best results I've had since the old days of ECA stacks

and for creatine. thats much easier to see any changes from it... u can normally notice a slight increase in strength in the gym with it. nothing huge, but slight. and some types can cause more water retention than others.
