    i really like the jay robb whey protein i have been taking. it's expensive but has such a great taste. i have the chocolate and going to get the pina colada next. i have heard that about optimum but not ready to make the switch yet.

    I recently switched from muscle milk light to Jay Robb Whey Protein as well...it's all natural and tastes fantastic. 110 cals, 25g protein, 1g carb, 0g sugar, 0g cholestrol, 0g fat. It is sweetened wtih Stevia. I still can't believe how good it tastes. I prefer the vanilla, but also like pina colada. Not crazy about chocolate, but I then haven't found a chocolate protein powder that I do like.

    I really like Myofusion (157 cals for 25g of protein). The chocolate is great. I haven't tried the vanilla, but I'm sure its good. Cookies and cream is my favorite though.

    I second this! I love Myofusion Milk Chocolate... Tastes like liquid pudding when mixed with milk!

    I've heard only good things about the other flavors.. plus its cheap. It's only 20 dollars for a 2 pound tub.

    I found an article and essentially it described protein as such:

    Whey Isolate - lower in calories, more pure protein. Most expensive

    Whey blend - Slightly higher in calorie than isolate, but less expensive.

    whey concentrate - least expensive, highest in calories. Usually for the person trying to bulk up with a higher calorie intake.

    I use Jay Robb chocolate and vanilla. They both taste pretty good. It's more expensive but worth it to me.

    Same here. Jay Robb has less sugar and other 'stuff' than others we've found yet tastes great. Highly recommend it.

    I am partial to Jay Robb's whey protein powders. They seem to pack the most protein for your (caloric) buck at 25 grams of protein and 110 calories per serving. They also mix well- my old protein powder liked to clump. I have tried the vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate and have liked them all.

    Another Jay Robb fan here - great taste, mixes well and has no additives. I keep a container with vanila, a container with chocolate and a container with psyllum seed husks all by my personal blender and that's my breakfast. Also Jay Robb has some really good shake recipies. I do frozen fruit with vanilla in the morning and do my chocolate ones for a snack in the evening. Good luck!

    I've tried many protein powders. The absolute BEST tasting to me is Lifetime Fitness brand. It's pretty expensive though ($40). About 5 months ago, I switched over to GNC Amplified. It doesn't take as great as Lifetime Fitness, but it breaks down a lot faster. Here's a secret...Sam's Club sells them for $18. GNC sells the same protein for about $20 MORE!!

    I can never tell which type of protein powder is better: whey or soy.

    I find soy protein to be very chalky - generally a gemma pea/brown rice blend is great if you aren't consuming dairy.

    I too am a huge Jay Robb fan. Like others have said, it's more expensive but soo worth the taste. I LOVE my chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie. It is so good and filling.

    I'm a diabetic so no sugar is a must for me. The best one I've found is Nectar. I like the vanilla and choc (and many of the other flavors) but just buy the vanilla lately. If I'm making a chocolate smoothie, I add dark choc powder (no sugar again) and I'm good to go. Its expensive so I like to be flexible with how I use it.

    I always liked Muscle milk but since I discovered I'm allergic to dairy, I like organic pea protein or brown rice protein, I got them at Publix.

    Isopure has the best Protein/Calorie ratio. Vanilla has no carbs/sugar, Chocolate has 1g I believe. Taste isn't the best, but it's very good.

    I use EAS Soy Protien Powder. It is sweet and comes in chocolate and is good in water or fat free milk or soy milk so :) makes me happy!

    I have fallen in love with GNC AMP 100% Whey Cookies and Cream. I actually mix it with some coffee, 2 Tbs of half and half and 1tsp of vanilla and it is like having a frappacino from a coffee place!
