    I'm a big fan of the PhD stuff in the UK. Decently priced, and it mixes fantastically even with just water.

    Makes you think you should be punishing yourself for having something that tastes so good, but it's good stuff.

    Currently on the PhD Synergy ISO-7 in Chocolate Mint. Which is like drinking after eights. If you want it to be even more amusing... Add in a shot of coffee and it's nearly a mint-mocha shake that is good for you. Tasty :D

    Really?

    PHD is INSANELY overpriced for what it is.

    Syntrax Nectar Sweets whey protein isolate. I get the chocolate truffle, vanilla bean torte, and fuzzy navel. It's the only brand I've tried that doesn't need to be covered up with other ingredients.

    I dunno... I did a few comparisons and they're all pretty much like for like.

    Besides, I know a friend who can get me it half-price regardless. ;)

    I use GNC chocolate and vanilla whey protein powder. I mix both with 7oz of 2% milk. I also add the vanilla to make a fruit smoothie (fruit, milk, Greek yogurt, water). The chocolate can be mixed with coffee and ice to make a frappe sort of of concoction.

    I use Vega One. If you're looking for an alternative to whey or soy, it has 15 g of complete plant-based proteins per scoop. There is another Vega product that has 20 g per serving, but I stick with Vega One. It has a really good flavor and consistency.

    I am currently using Designer Whey, but my trainer has suggested Truetein. She says it is the "cleanest" she has found.
    Another one I've heard that is great and supposed to be the best one for cooking is Sun Warrior, but I haven't tried that one yet either.

    Beverly international ultimate muscle protein. I have been using it for the past 4 yrs... Hooked! Tastes like a mc Donald's milk shake. The vanilla and chioco are good. Don't rec the cookies and cream.

    I use two different ones, each mixed with Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk by Blue Diamond.

    1) Lifetime Fitness - Vanilla Whey
    2) Click Vanilla Latte (espresso already mixed in it - high on carbs though).

    Good luck finding one you like and in meeting your goals. :)

    I also use gnc pro preformance 100% whey protein powder. It is 120 calories and 20 g of protein. I mix one scoop in the blender with 1 cup light almond milk (40 cal), 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional 130 cal), and whatever frozen or fresh fruit I want. If I use frozen fruit, it makes it more like a milk shake. Love love love this! Alos, I found it on clearance and an additional bogo 1/2 off. So instead of paying $84 for two canisters, I only payed $26. Awesome! Oh, and let me just say that I am a woman who is trying to lose weight and tone. Since I began using this three days ago along with my workout, I haven't felt sluggish, tired, or beat up. I have also lost 2lbs in those three days. (results may vary :P)

    Oh my God! Thank you for the info!
    I am more confused now. How to trust food/drink labels? It's really impossible.
    Oh really? They still sell it in the USA, I think. I wouldnt be surprised if they sold a discontinued product in my country but it is still on the market in the USA, I think. Are you sure?

    Well im sure supplement shops still have tons of the stuff to get rid off, they aren't going to bin it.

    Optimum nutrition came out top.

    Hi - test of the above was shown to be bunk - see http://www.gasparinutrition.com/news/viewnews.aspx?id=276

    The testing methods of the person were less than professional!

    I get my vitamins through Life Extensions. I get my protein through them as well. It's the vanilla and it's not bad. 2 scoops is the serving size and there's 22g's of protein.
