    MaxPro Protein from Max Muscle. I like both the vanilla and the chocolate and I am quite picky. It is not cheap though. Normal price is around $60 for 32 servings. (but I think you can get discounts). I too make my protein shakes with Unsweetened Vanilla Almond milk. Lower sugar and calories than skim milk.

    I enjoy a container of Muscle Milk Light after my workout. It has 20g protein; 140 cal and 2grams sugar. Chocolate and Vanilla are really good.

    Do your research. Not all powders are created equal. Low grage cheap powders are not worth the money. Clean facility is a must. Google Consumer reports guide on protein powders from June / July 2010 and read it...throughly. Lots of arsenics and metal. For me an my house we only use Optimum Nutrition, Pure Protein and Gaspari.

    This...a thousand times this. If you want to buy cheap stuff....go ahead. Optimum Nutrition is maybe the best protein powder available.

    You must not be looking at the same label I am. It is NOT the best.... it is not even pure whey protein isolate, it's a blend.
    Look at the cholesterol... that alone can tell you it is not a high quality. Most of the best are not a protein blend, or a concentrate.

    Plus ON tastes horrible. Pure Protein --- isn't that sold at Target? If so, its the same thing as body fortress from Walmart.

    I'm a fan of Jay Robb vanilla whey - no sugar, made with Stevia, and 25g of protein per serving. Makes a yummy shake with Clemmy's sugar-free ice cream, natural peanut butter, and some soy milk! I just bought some Jay Robb chocolate whey as well and looking forward to coming up with smoothie recipes with that, too!

    I have tried them all...I find the only one that tastes great with only 60 calories and 12g of protein ..is Todietfor by nulife..

    I have found it difficult to find but order directly from them... one scoop with 2 to 3 cups of water and you are full..great trick before supper .

    The high protien slimfast is the only protien like shake or mix I can stomach. I've given several types from healthfood store and GNC a try and most don't mix well. The biggest loser whey protien mix actually mixed well and tastes good but gave me horrible gas, plus the mix smells aweful, which is a turn off. I like protien bars and powerbars. Man, have those improved in the last 10 yrs! Some of them actually taste like candybars...mmmm.

    Vega Whole Foods Health Optimizer is great! It's so much more than just a "protein shake"!
