    Syntrax which can be found on Amazon.com it's got fruit flavors like fuzzy navel and grapefruit, lemonade, iced tea/lemonade, cherry, as well as choc, van, strawberry. 23 grams of protein for about 100 cals. No sugars. Hope this helps!

    I just started on Body Fortress - Super Advanced Whey Protein - Chocolate last night and it's awesome especially if you use some almond milk (I just use the regular kind). It mixes in really well and tasted awesome. Two scoops will get you 52 grams of protein and especially the essential kinds you need after a workout.

    I second this. I have been using this lately. Tastes pretty good, makes nice smoothies or you can just mix with water, milk etc

    I can third this..I love this kind..i only use one scoop..but thats because i just started my up to 2 scoops now.

    We bought the Jillian Michael's vanilla protein powder from Sam's Club to start out with. It seemed like the best value and was a little bit lower in calories compared to the other couple they had there. Not to mention, it has Jillian's picture on the front and my Hubby said he wouldn't mind seeing her every morning. LOL :-o)~


    We like to make protein shakes. Frozen fruit, low-fat milk, 1 scoop of powder, and sometimes a little Splenda. DELICIOUS!

    Another vote for GNC - Pro Performance Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 Chocolate. I have been using it for 2 months, taste really good. I add PB2 to add a peanut butter taste to it to vary it. I have used Isopure before and isopure is very gritty compared to this GNC one. I get 60 grams of protein for 3 scoops, its low on carbs and low on sugar.

    It can be pricey but get the gold card and they sometimes have one buy get one free.

    If you're going to get a whey protein powder, make sure it's whey isolate - it has something to do with the processing quality. - it's better for you.

    Anyone use Hemp Protein?

    I had some Manitoba Harvest Dark Chocolate mixed with soy milk, strawberries and banana this morning and it was pretty awesome. 4 TBSP is 120 calories and 8 g protein...so maybe not as much as some other powders from what it seems other people are responding with but personally I'm not looking for 100g of protein in one drink...I'm more interested in a drink that will give me energy for my workout without filling me up so much that I feel too sick and bloated to work out. This drink plus an apple got me through my hour and a half workout and 4 hours of walking around the mall shopping, so it did exactly what I needed it to.

    I recently started using Genesis Pure Recovery after workouts and it tastes AMAZING!! I have tried many protein powders and have not found one that tastes good without having to add other food to it. It tastes great with milk or water!! YUMMY!

    I have tried a few different ones but they all have a bad after bite taste that staying in my mouth.

    The only one that hasn't is Vi-shape by ViSalus. The flavor is sweet cream and is good plain or you can add some of their flavor packs in it or what ever you want to make it like. Depending on if you mix with water or what type of milk depends on the actual price. The way I make it; it's been averaging less than $2 a shake.
