    Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey - Any flavour (choc mint and double rich choc are my faves!)

    £40 for a 5lb tub. I don't know where you're from, but that's around $60 roughly - I think bodybuilding.com ships for free to the USA and they have good prices. Only reason I don't buy from there is with the cost of shipping to the UK it doesn't work out any cheaper for me than where I already buy it from.

    It's a really nice brand, mixes well (even with just water and a fork) and low calorie (110-130 per scoop) with 24g of protein! :D I've been a fan for almost 2 years now roughly.

    Best bet is to shop around a lot. Protein powders had a huge price jump in the spring. Myofusion which is what I use jumped over$10 for a 5# jug. Checks out tons of review sites too. Some are cheap but taste awful. You can fix the taste of them by using milk or peanut butter. Also, adding ice to make it thicker seems to help

    I was planning on getting Myofusion, people say it tastes awesome but then I heard that myofusion has half of protein that it claims to have. So I am scared. Have you ever heard such a thing?

    I love the CalNaturale Svelte line of protein drinks...soy based. 16g of protein and absolutely delicious

    Stay away from regular soy protein consumption!

    I just paid $36.95 per 4lb tub of Designer Whey Protein powder. I purchased one french-vanilla, and one in chocolate. I use unsweetened Almond milk and the chocolate makes it taste like freakin' CHOCOLATE MILK... OMG its so good!

    Ill also take the french-vanilla and blend it with frozen berries for a frozen treat! Soooo good!
    you got lucky on this one. For most people, Designer Whey causes nasty gas that clears out rooms.

    Fortunately for me, it has no effect on my gastroenterologically speaking. I eat a 100% clean intake and definitely a water whooore so I believe that really does make a difference! 8-)

    So today I mixed my powder into 200ml of chilled coffee and added 1/4 cup of fat free greek yogurt. It ended up tasting pretty good. I think that how I'll make it from now on because it's simple for on the go. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

    My hubby and I really like Ultramet Original Chocolate. I don't have to add anything to it to make it taste good and when you want to make a meal out of it adding strawberries, a banana or peanut butter makes it taste like you're drinking a milk shake! We got 60 packets for about $120 on the internet. The sugar is low and there are 40g protien. I split mine in half because I don't need all that protien in one sitting.

    I personally think Chocolate UMP by Beverly International is the best and priced right too. Look at DPSnutritent.com. I think i just paid $32.99
