Comparing two tubs that both say protein
The useful comparison is grams of protein per scoop, not the flavor on the lid.
Two tubs can share a word and still be different purchases. Start with the grams of protein in one scoop, then the weight of that scoop. A scoop with 26 g of protein and a scoop with 20 g are not the same product in different clothing.
After the protein line, read the ingredient list from the top. The first ingredient should be the protein source, named. If several proteins are mixed, each one should show its own grams. A single blend with no split is a reason to leave it on the shelf.
Flavor and sweetener can be pleasant. They do not change the training week. Choose them after the number is the one you meant to buy.
