    I haven't tried it yet but I am going to get Jillian Michaels Natural Whey Protein Powder. It has some pretty good reviews. (If anyone has tried this tho I wouldn't mind more feed back =)

    9.95 for 14 servings. As far as taste all the reviews said it tasted better than the body fortress whey protein. One said it was very similar to the taste of Nesquik. I'm super cheap tho so I'll probably take 10 bucks over 50 any day lol

    About 14 oz. 15 g protein. 71 cents per oz. Optimum whey 5lb size. 57 cents per oz. 24g of protein per serving. With almond milk, banana, it tastes great. You're pay 24% more per serving. Why not buy in a bigger size anyway? You know you're going to use it.

    I'm researching Dymatize Elite right now. I've read it's pretty tasty. To be sure I've asked a couple of people here on MFP who use it for their opinion. I'll let you know. I found this great website: netrition.com, I haven't ordered yet, but it's products are discounted and there's a flat rate shipping fee of $4.95.

    Try Myofusion Protein Powder... It's about 25 dollars for a two pound tub on amazon.

    Got a good range of flavors and not overly sweet. I have Chocolate Peanut Butter and it's def not that sweet, but still has a good taste.

    I'm finishing up the vanilla flavored one and it's ok.... Nothing to shout about.. I mix mine into a smoothie after workouts, drinking it on it's own is not that great...

    So... does anyone have opinions on the two brands I asked about?

    I use prograde vanilla whey protein from prograde.com ..sometimes I can get plain whey protein powder from the bulk section of the health food store and mix them...Prograde is not too sweet, tastes good, and the website has deals where they can be purchased at a reduced price......usually with 15% off I usually buy a case of six on sale, get free shipping and am set for quite a while........

    ON whey is $46.xx for 5lbs at Amazon.

    And your point would be?

    Myofusion is also 46 dollars for a 5 pound tub on amazon.. I just quoted the two pound price.. no where does it say she's looking for 5 pounds.

    Seems like you just want to be an *kitten* and push ON.

    Seems you can't take constructive opinion very well.

    My point is that ON whey is cheaper per lb at 5lbs vs what you quoted at 2lbs. And THAT'S after the 2nd time I've quoted the ON. I don't push ON but it's what I use and what I happen to know the prices for.

    If you have read the replies, I stated that she is most likely going to use more than 2lbs. So for WHATEVER she buys, it would be more cost effective to buy at bulk. (assuming she will be happy with the flavor etc.).

    If the Jillian Michaels stuff is only avail in 2lb, size, then unless she's in love with the stuff, it's an expensive way to go.

    No actually I can take constructive criticism just fine, but your wording the first time was confusing and sounded like you were pushing your product.

    If you had typed that detailed explanation out instead of just saying ON is 46 dollars for 5 pounds, it prob. would have gone over better.

    Now I'm just face palming cause your clearly not getting it.

    By saying ON is 46 dollars and nothing else, makes no sense what so ever. I didn't understand if you were just telling me the price, telling OP the price or pushing the product. Since you gave an explanation the second time, I understood what you meant.

    There was no criticism in my second response.. I was merely saying I understood what you meant by your first statement.

    Of course. That is where I buy from. They sounded like sales pitches or were too vague for me.
