    optimum nutrition oats & whey

    now foods whey isolate is good in quality but doesn't taste great.

    You can also use a little milk instead of water depending on your caloric allowances

    If you aren't vegan, try whey protein or casein. If you are, soy protein is slightly better tasting and textured than pea, hemp, or rice protein IMO.

    I used to use Optimum Nutrition or Six Star whey protein; now I use soy from the same brands.

    Just buy an unflavored one. Then you can add it to anything and it won't impact the taste. I use Piping Rock.

    I really dig this

    amazon.com/gp/product/B000QSNYGI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    If you think it sucks you must think a party in your mouth sucks.

    Optimum Nutrition all the way! Their whey protein - in vanilla ice cream or chocolate - love it. I mix with skim milk. For shakes - I use almond milk.

    BSN syntha 6 is pretty damn tasty btw, but the quality is not so great and it's a ton of extra calories

    This is my favorite. And in addition to protein, it's packed with lots of other nutrients:

    Garden of Life RAW Organic Protein Chocolate

    I like to drink it mixed into Silk brand Dark Chocolate Almond Milk

    I just get chocolate and mix it with milk. I'm not sure of all of the brands I've tried but I've never had a bad chocolate variety. The only kind I've ever had that I didn't like was vanilla flavored (also the only time I deviated from my "if it's not chocolate, why eat it?" methodology of choosing protein powder.)

    UMP is really good. We do vanilla flavor. Mix with ice, water, cocoa powder, dry oats, natural peanut butter for a No-bake cookie shake

    Quest Protein Powders. I've only tried the Vanilla Milkshake and it's sooo yum on its own with water. I sometimes mix in a serving of pb2 or some strawberries if I want some variety. Really good for cooking, too. :)

    The key is to mix with a combination of almond butter and fruit to make the taste and consistency more to your liking. None of the protein powders taste good when you first start using them. Eventually the taste grows on you and you can drink it straight.

    Cellucor and Mutant are my favourites. Cookies n' Cream and Birthday Cake flavours are awesome.

    Sorry, to answer your question. Optimum nutrition and Quest seem to come out on top in taste reviews
