    I use whey protein powder only because it seems to dissolve better over all (I use almond milk too).

    I currently use GNC's strawberry whey protein powder. It's actually pretty sweet and I usually add a dash of lime juice to cut that back, but otherwise I'm really happy with it. Nice balance of high protein to low calories, dissolves well, tastes yummy.

    I use the Body Fortress Chocolate Peanut Butter which is great for making a chocolate shake out of -- Just use one scoop plus your almond milk and half a banana and about 10 ice cubes in a blender and crunch it up! YUM!

    I also use Nutiva Organic Hemp Protein Powder... I haven't tried that by itself in Almond milk but I do like it mixed with berries and kale for a wonderful frozen fruit drink. Also I use this in my protein pancakes... but it IS GREEN! This is plant based as well and has good protein for the calorie bang. 90 calories for 15 g protein.

    I get Muscle Milk Whey in chocolate and vanilla at Costco. I recently got some Syntrax nectar whey and like it. They have fruit flavors like grapefruit or fuzzy navel. I got a sample pack from netrition.com so I can try different flavors. So far so good. They dissolve pretty well in water. I also got the Syntrax in capuccino, which is great as a shake with almond milk, ice, and maybe some chocolate protein powder.

    My favourite so far is Rivalus Promasil in Soft Serve Vanilla. I buy it at GNC. It has 0 carbs, 90 calories for 20g protein (per 25g serving), and dissolves really well. Plus... it tastes great! I usually blend it with frozen fruit and almond milk and make a smoothie :)

    I buy mine at Walmarts and I buy the Body fortress strawberry one. I dilute mine with water and not milk...2 reasons..milk has calories and water none....I tried with milk and found it to be too thick, with water its great I add some fruit also, strawberry (2 big ones) ,banana not even half. I use and electric mixer and it cuts up all of the fruits easily...a little trick freeze your fruits it helps to keep everything nice and cold while drinking it...good luck:drinker:

    Yesss the chocolate peanut butter is yummy! I prefer whey over the soy, because soy can mimic estrogen in the body, which I don't want!

    This!

    The Fuzzy Navel is delish, so are Carribean Cooler and Chocolate truffle. You mix them with water or milk, so you can either have creamy or fruity. The powder itself is 100 cals for 23 grams of protein, one of the best ratios I've found. Zero carb and Zero sugar too.

    I get mine from Netrition.com as well. They do have a 13 pack sampler so you can try the diff. flavors :)

    Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey. Real foods trump protein powder though. It is a supplement, so remember...you only should really be drinking shakes to make up deficiencies in your protein intake for the day. If your protein is fine from food alone...no need.

    wow, I kind of want to try this Body Fortress stuff now!!! :)

    BTW did the rest of you get that SPAM from the user trying to sell you some other protein powder thats marketed through a MLM company? UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    FWIW, I get my GNC at RiteAid and it's only $20 for a bag that lasts me a month.

    Oh it's awesome in coffee! I brew a huge pot in the morning, have a cup before my workout and then finish the rest with protein powder after my workout! :drinker:

    I've heard chocolate one is great in coffee but I haven't tried it yet. To me Chocolate and Cookies n Cream have an aftertaste...
