I don't eat much meat, but I love sweet treats, and this makes Ghost's whey protein powder my go-to workout supplement for ensuring I get enough protein. It helps motivate me to exercise because I look forward to rewarding myself with a scoop of this delicious powder afterward -- and it takes the edge off my intense sweet tooth.
The Chips Ahoy flavor is my personal favorite, with 25 grams of 100% whey protein blend and real cookie pieces in every scoop. Right now, a 2-pound tub of this protein powder is 15% off for Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, bringing the price down from $50 to $43.

In addition to protein powder, Ghost offers tasty hydration supplements. I like the Sour Patch Kids redberry flavor (though I only drink half a packet at a time because of its sweetness).
Ghost's protein powders are so yummy that CNET's wellness experts chose the brand for the best flavor variety on our roundup of the best protein powders for 2025. Oreo is my second favorite option, followed by the vegan Banana Pancake Batter. Ghost also offers fun and nostalgic flavors like Fruity Cereal Milk and Cinnabon.
The Chips Ahoy protein powder I take has only 4g of sugar in each serving (one scoop) but does include some artificial sweeteners and flavors, which is something to keep in mind if you have sensitivities.
Why I like it
Ghost Lifestyle is a sports nutrition company that offers energy drinks, protein powders, hydration and sleep supplements, vitamins and more. Its creative marketing approach first sold me on the brand a few years ago, since it portrays a fun and active lifestyle with attractive visuals.
The Oreo flavor has 25 grams of protein (50% of your daily value) and 3 total grams of sugar.
My typical physical activities include hiking, lifting weights and swimming. It's hard to quantify, but I have noticed that I can gain and retain muscle better when I incorporate protein powder into my diet -- especially since I'm not a big meat lover.
It's also a sweet way to treat myself after working out. My post-workout smoothie typically includes Ghost protein powder, bananas, peanut butter and oat milk. It's so tasty that I find myself craving it often. I also add a scoop of the powder to my pancakes.
If you're looking for a new whey protein powder with fun flavors and vegan options, I recommend taking advantage of Amazon's Big Spring Sale and snagging a canister of Ghost for 15% off. This sale has only a few days left, so don't wait too long before buying.
