    I've tried Syntha 6 by BSN. It's a powder that you add water to so it's pretty easy to make at work. It's VERY tastey.

    I've also tried Premiere Nurtitions Chocolate Protein shake. That comes in it's own container so that might work also. It's a little pricey though......18 for $23 at costco.

    They both taste delish in my opinion.

    I walk the treadmill at work for my lunch and drink the Kirkland Milk Chocolate shakes from CostCo. Its a 26 pack (i think) of cans for $15. Its a weight loss shake. Not sure if thats what you are looking for but thought I would share with you anyways.

    You can get it anywhere. Ebay seems to be the cheapest that i could find. But beware, when i used it, it seemed to hinder weight loss...it does taste very good, i think that is a problem....it seems to have alot of fillers in it. I dunno, it could be just me, but i would read reviews on it. I use the ON (Optimum Nutrition), mixed with fat free milk, this stuff is pretty good and you can pick it up at WalMart. Its the Gold Standard Whey. I personally like the mocha cappuccino.

    I use the EAS carb-vantage shakes. They have 17 g of protein, 110 calories, and 2 g of carbs. I like the french vanilla but haven't tried the other ones. I drink them cold or warm, it doesn't matter to me.

    I hate to be the downer...but as for the Kirkland shakes, have you read the nutrition facts on these? There are 38 grams of sugar in them. You have to watch out for all that sugar, it really can hinder losing any weight.

    Herbalife formula One works for me, I use it with unsweetened soya milk. Comes in 6 different flavours and has has all the protein I need without excess sugar. Tastes great too.

    I use Gold Standard 100% Whey. The Vanilla Ice Cream or Double Rich Chocolate. There is only 1gm sugar 120calories 24gm protein and 3gm fat. There is no additives in these two flavors. This is the only two my trainer will let me drink because of the ingredients in most of the other ones.

    I second the chocolate, it's DELICIOUS.

    For the on the go drinks, I'll use the EAS carb control. The chocolate fudge and dark chocolate is pretty good.

    now I am confused.... Do protein shakes hinder weight loss? Or is it mostly based on consumption of calories?

    I use Myoplex lite. they taste good but they are the only ones I ever used. I buy them pre mixed (more expensive but I am lazy)
