Protein powder ... help!

Hi everyone !!! I am wanting to add a protein drink into my daily diet (breakfast maybe?). Any suggestions on a good (and good tasting) powder????

What are you looking for exactly?
Any flavors you're partial to?
Do calories matter?


Stay away from GNC. They'll rip you off.
Vitamin Shoppe has a brand called bodytech and they are buy one get one half off right now. I just picked up 10 pounds of whey for around 65 dollars. Not neccessarily my favorite tasting protein powder, but it does the trick.

For the money, Optimum Nutriton whey is the way to go probably.
Scivation Whey has a great profile.
Syntha 6 tastes great but has more sugar, and has corn syrup.
Muscle Milk tastes great but I've read to not take more than 1 serving a day due to high metal contents.
Dymatize makes really good protein.
and I believe XF whey has a lemon cream pie that I've heard great stuff about.

Higher Power Whey. 5lbs for $35. Great deal, tastes pretty good for protein powder. Only 120 calories per scoop but 23g of protein and only 2g of carbs.
