I would like to start drinking protein shakes after my workout because I am looking to increase my protein intake since protein is awesome! What whey powder do you use? I was thinking about 'Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard' because of it's good reviews, but I am open to suggestions.

Optimum Nutrition has the best flavors0 -
Optimum Nutrition Double Chocolate with almond milk - yum! :flowerforyou:0

I also like Optimum Nutrition Whey Gold Standard. It tastes great and is economical (buy on Amazon and get free shipping for orders over $25!). I like the chocolate flavors best.0
-
The cheap stuff - BodyFortress from Walmart. $7.50/lb. But chocolatey & good (as far as I'm concerned)
PS: i should say - you can get it at 6.50/lb if you buy their 3-pack online :happy:0 -
I would say Yes to Optimum Nutrition. Just avoid the strawberry0

I love the Optimum Nutrition powders. I've tried several others and IMHO, none of them come close to matching the flavor of ON. They're definitely NOT the cheapest, though... but I like the fact that they're 100% whey and they even have a few flavors that are all natural.0

Muscle Milk and Muscle Milk Light have incredible flavors IMO; however, there is a little more fat and some complex carbs than pure whey protein that needs to be taken into account but I think it makes the product work better than just whey protein..0

i also use Body Fortress in vanilla! I just add a few berries in with my shakes and its super yummy and I get what I need.0

I just recently bought my first two jugs of protein powder, so there could be better out there... but I enjoy Walmart's "Six Star" brand. I bought Cookies n Creme and Triple Chocolate Milkshake. I added it to skim milk, it tastes great to me, but to thicken it up a little, you might either stick it in the freezer for a bit or buy 2% or fattier milk.
Yummm.... I have a very hard time meeting my protein macros, until just recently. Protein powder to the rescue! And they taste like milkshakes? Get outta here....0 -

Thanks for the pro-tip!0 -
I just got whatever was cheapest at Costco.0

WOW!! I might have to order some of that from Walmart0

I do the whole food's organic whey, chocolate flavor. Mix with vanilla almond milk, and it tastes like such a treat! Love it.
It's also naturally sweetened. I try to avoid artificial sweetener as much as possible.0 -
GNC Pro Performance Amp Amplified 100% Whey Protein, Chocolate.
$33 a barrel. Good stuff, tastes great, works!
Buy it here: http://tinyurl.com/cykj5sy0 -
Any suggestions for those of us allergic to Whey? I've used this Plant Fusion stuff, but it is super expensive and doesn't taste very good. I just got some of the EAS Soy Protein which is delicious but seems a little high in sugar? Or is that kind of normal and I shouldn't let it bother me?0
-
I'm mostly considering using whey as an additive to flavor things plus get more protein (i.e. mixing chocolate whey into yogurt to get chocolate yogurt). Does that change anybody's recommendations?0
-
I get the huge bag of EAS in vanilla at BJs.0
-
Get you some "O Yeah Total Protein System". Without a doubt, THE best tasting drink of all. I like the chocolate milkshake. I eat their high protein bars also. Super!

I'm a huge fan of Lean Body by Labrada... amazing flavors, lactose free, sugar free, high protein, great nutrient profile, no aspartame. I get the low-carb packets and/or the RTD 12-packs to take to work. I LOVE them!0
