    Plant Fusion!
    They have multiple flavors and unflavored so you can add it to pancakes, etc. I didn't want any soy, dairy, or gluten in my protein powder, so this was a perfect fit. I use vanilla bean and it's not bad, even by itself. It's definitely a protein drink, but I add almond milk, a banana, and strawberries to make it taste great.

    I basically use what ever I can afford. I've tried EAS (the old formula) and Muscle Tech (100% Premium Whey Protein Plus - Deluxe Chocolate.) I am basically limited to the protein powder I can find at Sam's Club.

    I use either Protogen (blended protein) or Carnivor (beef protein isolate).

    I just bought Aria Womens Protein in Vanilla. Tastes awesome and low in carbs and low GI. Got it at the local grocery store for $10 on discount.

    I just started my 90 day challenge using Body By Vi! I've tried a bunch of different protien mixes: off-brand, EAS, Shakeology, APEX etc. But they either tasted gross, were super expensive, or I didn't see results.

    Body By Vi is a GREAT shake mix that has a tri-blend of protein that specifically helps with weight loss - it's by far the best tasting mix I've ever had - and it only costs $1.67! I can't even eat crap that cheap :)

    Best yet, it's supported with a 90-day money back results guarentee!!

    Sorry I'm going on and on, it just really makes sense for my life and I'm excited to pass on the love to others..nothing more :)

    For some it can be. Until I can re-teach myself to eat enough food, I drink a protein shake at the end of the day so I'm getting enough protein and calories. But if you aren't adding things to it (fruits, veggies, flax seed, etc), I doubt a shake would provide enough calories for a meal replacement.

    Syntrax Nectar Chocolate and Vanilla - they mix great in just a blender bottle.

    So far...the Sam's Club Simply Right Vanilla. About 20 bucks for a 4lb bag, nice and smooth it mixes well and for lack of any better description, it is fairly bland so it adds well to other things. I even made a rather credible no bake cheesecake with it.
    I use this and mix it with yoplait smoothie mix for breakfast. I like it and fairly inexpensive.

    Allmax Isoflex Whey Protein the chocolate one has mini choc chips in it, and is 27g of protein per 30g scoop! LOVE IT. I can get it in Canada for around 47.00 for 2lb container

    Edited~ AND only 110 calories per scoop when mixed with water.

    The simpliest answer is no. Protein powders should contain almost nothing but protein (21-24 grams/serving), with maybe 1 gram of fat and 2-6 grams carbs, which doesn't make a good 'meal' to me. You can definately use a protien powder as a 'base' for a meal replacement shake if you want to. I've added various milks (cow, soy, almond), plus fruits, peanut butter, flax seed, psyllium powder, etc. to make thicker shakes that are more filling for times when I can't get in food.

    I like MRM Whey protein powder (it was 100% Natural protein powder... now it appears to be Pumped protein powder). Dutch chocolate and rich vanilla are both good. They're low carb, no (or very little) sugar. They mix pretty well, but are even better with half of a frozen banana and some unsweetened almond milk and a little teeny bit of peanut butter.. I get 2 lbs for 20-something from Vitacost.

    Optimum Nutrition Gold standard - Chocolate Coconut or Rocky Road.

    Used to use the Body Fortress, but recently it's gone up in price (isolate version) so it's almost the same price as ON and ON tastes better.

    Rivalus Promasil in Soft Serve Vanilla. Its at GNC. Best tasting one I have tried so far, has only 90 calories per scoop, low carb too. We have to chocolate flavor too, which is ok too.
