About
What it is.
Select Protein is PEScience's whey-and-casein powder, built around milk protein isolate as its primary ingredient rather than the whey concentrate most blends lead with. That choice keeps lactose low and digestion easy while delivering a slower-digesting protein profile than straight whey, with leucine peptides supporting the amino acid content. Each serving carries 24 grams of protein with low sugar and fat, and the formula is gluten-free, Kosher-certified, and third-party tested for purity.
It comes in flavors like Strawberry Cheesecake, Cake Pop, and Frosted Chocolate Cupcake, styled to taste like their names rather than generic chocolate or vanilla. The casein content makes it suited to baking as well as shakes, and it's aimed at people who want a whey-casein blend for recovery or meal replacement rather than a whey-only isolate.
The verdict
PEScience Select Protein ranks #19 for best protein powders and earns 4.9/5 stars from 44,272 buyers who praise its smooth taste and easy mixing, though some find competitors deliver more protein per dollar at the $45–$55 price point.
