    I've been using the EAS Lean 15 that they sell at Target and I like it. I have both the chocolate and the vanilla.

    Anybody in the UK, get a free sample from The Good Whey Company. I've had mine and they are really nice, I don't buy from the brand as they are quite expensive but a couple of free samples is always a bonus. Even got a free pen, double win!

    Just started using Gold Standard double rich chocolate. Tastes good to me. After doing a little research I found it to contain the most protein with the least amount of cholesterol and calories.

    I haven't tried many different kinds, but I really like the Body Fortress Strawberry flavor. I sometimes mix it with Chobani greek yogurt variety flavors. Very good.

    Maybe be a crazy question but I wont know the answer until I ask! What is the importance of a protein shake and when do you drink one?

    Isopure Zero Carb, creamy vanilla: 2 scoops, 8 oz of unsweetened coconut milk, 1/2 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 8 oz of water. Tastes like chocolate milk.

    For every day protein that I use in smoothies I like Body Fortress Whey Protein Vanilla, it is low in sugar and it tastes good, its also cheap. I also have some Jillian Michaels Chocolate protein powder that I am trying to use up but it tastes TERRIBLE. Not only does it barely taste like chocolate at all, the consistency when it is blended or shaken is like chocolate pudding and not in a good way.

    For after work outs I use Biorhythm Afterglow in Orange Push up. It tastes okay (I've heard the bazooka fruit and watermelon flavors are better), but is very effective in cutting down on muscle soreness. However it is full of sugar, so if you are watching your sugar I don't recommend it.

    Gives you proteins to repair the microscopic muscle damage that occurs when resistance weight training. (This is a good thing, the damage/repair cycle is how the muscles get bigger and stronger).

    If you take it once, take it right after the workout. Some people do before/after workout.

    My favorite protein powder is the Body By Vi. It comes in a sweet cream flavor and you can make literally hundreds of different recipes. It only has 90 calories per serving, less than 1 gram of sugar, less than 7 carbs. and 12 grams of protein. The Tri-Sorb protein blend is a unique blend of highly absorbable proteins. My favorite is:

    Vi Shape Shake Mix - 2 scoops (90 calories)
    Unsweetened Almond milk - 8 oz. (40 calories)
    Cranberry Light Juice - 4 oz. (25 calories)
    Unsweetened frozen mixed fruit - 1/2 cup (35 calories)
    Neuro - 1 packet (12 calories)
    Total 202 calories

    Another favorite:
    Almond Joy:
    Shake Mix - 2 scoops
    Almond Milk - 8 oz.
    1/2 tsp. coconut extract
    4 - 5 almonds
    Chocolate flavored mix in or cocoa powder
    YUM!!

    I use a similar recipe (I use EAS Chocolate Whey Protein and PB2) and I can confirm it is absolutely delicious! EAS Chocolate all the way!

    Oh, and I use whatever the big bag is from Costco. Used to be EAS, now its Cytosomething. I find that the chocolate flavors tend to be the best (even when I was mixing it with punch gatorade power lol). By "best" I mean "most non-weird tasting".

    its just another way to get your daily intake of protein in addition to whole food sources like meats, shakes tend to absorb quickly in the body ( whey protein) so posr or pre workout is an optimum choice

    and Optimum nutrition gold standard is the best Whey protein
    I use ON's Hydrobuilder though and love it
