    TrueProtein is great.

    You can choose your flavors, sweeteners, etc., or simply order it unflavored and/or unsweetened. You can also create custom blends (Whey, Casein, egg, etc.).

    Shipping can be a little pricey, though.

    I'll check it out, thanks!

    well first thing i can say is body fortress can taste good if you use ice cold water and a blender (cookies and cream) but if you want a good tasting cheep powder go to www.vitacost.com and get muscle milk light vanilla cream tast best and its about $24 for a tub

    We have strawberry now, and have had chocolate in the past -- I can't even get it down in water, no matter how cold it is. I put it in a blender, with milk. That helps. If I add a banana that helps more. But it's still got the aftertaste. I've seen some good things about Muscle Milk so I'll be looking into that, it seems like a good value.

    cheapest protein powder = go fishing. catch lots of fish. smash the fish into a fine powder. mix with chocolate milk. done and done.

    If I just start mashing the fish with a mortar and pestle, without drying them first in some kind of dehydrator.. well, it will make a protein paste, not powder. And I've heard fish is better with vanilla????

    That's a really, really great point. But, I like my chocolate-fish-protein shakes kinda lumpy. For variety, add 1 teaspoon of mint extract.

    Hi Collinsky,

    Isopure.........you can find it at GNC. Call them first, since it does NOT stay on the shelves.

    I learned of this through a friend who had the stomach reduction surgery. His usage is to break it into 3 servings throughout the day.

    I really can not help with the budget issue.....but the taste is much better than those heavy whey powders.

    This is a clear drink that comes in quite a few flavors.

    I will post a link......unfortunately it also contains sucralose. I have a feeling these protein drinks would be intolerable were it not for a way to make them somewhat palatable. ( a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down)

    Thanks.... I am unfortunately one of those crazy people who would honestly prefer the spoonful of actual sugar to artificial sugars. :smile:
