    Bodybuilding.com is pretty reasonable when it comes to protein powder and supplements.

    I am a big fan of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard. Great flavor, mixes good, and whey isolate is the first ingredient in the protein blend. Isolates are more expensive than concentrate. I believe the ON Gold Standard product has the best mix for the cheapest price. Also, check Vitacost ( http://www.vitacost.com/Referee?wlsrc=rsReferral&ReferralCode=2776855 ) for good prices on this kind of stuff. For full discloser, I posed my referral link because I will get a little bonus if you decide to purchase from there. Trust me, I am not referring you for the bonus, I am doing it because they have great prices on a lot of the products I buy.

    Do they make one that is NOT flavored? I would like to be able to add protein to foods without altering the flavor. The option to add it to savory foods would be nice.

    Best protein powders I have ever had, and I've tried a lot are Click ( a coffee protein powder ) and Blue Bonnet chocolate Whey.

    I recently purchased and started using Soy Protein Vanilla flavor from Trader Joes..Not sure if you have a TJ in your area but it doesn't have any preserves, very low sugar and no added chemicals...So far I like that it satisfies me and I don' t get this odd feeling I got from Muscle Techs Whey protein. Not sure just yet how effective it is in developing muscle though I'm sure it is going to help. It was inexpensive also...maybe 15.00 for a months supply

    I use EAS 100% whey protein bought at Target for $20. It has 26g of protien, 2g sugar and 150 calories for 2 scoops. I bought the chocolate and it tastes awesome. I was pretty skeptical when I bought it, but I love the taste of it and can't wait to try the strawberry and vanilla.

    I just bought Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein from Walgreens. It was 14.99 last week when I bought vanilla and 21.99 this week when I bought the chocolate. 26 protein and low card and fat per scoop. Both taste ok and since I have been drinking 2 a day since last Thursday the scale has finally started moving down again!!!! I add a half pack of an orange flavor crystal light drink stick to the vanilla and it is really good! I also mix 1/2 milk an 1/2 water to cut down on carbs and foam from shaking it up-working well for me. The tubs have 25 servings each. Walgreens also now has points that add us to get $5.00 coupons to use on future purchases and no special trip to find a GNC! Good luck.

    The price was probably different because you purchased the Body Fortress Whey Isolate ($22) instead of the normal non-isolate ($15). Isolate is better because it is faster acting. You should notice the powder is a finer grain.

    I have a friend that loves Sunwarrior but I haven't been able to fit it into my budget so I use the Walmart Body Fortress stuff. Sometime I splurge on the Isolate for after workout.

    I am going to start a new thread about http://www.sunwarrior.com/

    I've been looking into getting a protein powder either whey or soy protein. I'm looking for something cheap, affordable, and for everyday use. Is there any products that are low in carbs and sugar, and helps build muscle?! I have been looking at 100% Whey Gold Standard, and Lean Dessert Protein BSN. I'm still not exactly sure how to shop for protein powders so if anyone can help me out, and give me options of what they use. Thanks! :flowerforyou:

    I've been using Jillian Michaels Natural Whey Protein shake mix. I absolutely love the vanilla ( i havent tried the other flavors yet) for a scoop its only 100 calories, 7g of carbs, and has 15g of protein. It also doesnt have any artificial perservatives or sweetners. I want to say I get around 13-14 scoops per container and you can find it at your local walmart for $10. If you have certain macros youre wondering about it is already in MFP food database.

    I just started using BiPro 100% Whey Protein Isolate. $49.99 online for a 2lb tub but they have promotions pretty frequently. 20g protein, 80 calories, 0 carbs, 0 sugar, 0 fat. It's unflavored so you can add it to just about anything (or anything to it). I use powdered PB2 (chocolate peanut butter) and water for a protein shake but it would make a great protein smoothie too with some skim milk and fruit. They have recipes on their website too.

    Syntha 6 & Gold Standard are what I've been recommended by several people. I picked up 2 5lb tubs of Syntha 6 on sale for about $35 each. I got both chocolate & vanilla and they both taste good with water & milk.

    You can price the stuff at Walmart, and it's probably not much cheaper than the ones listed above if you shop around. Here in Houston/Austin we have Nutrition Depot. I checked but they don't seem to do online sales, which is too bad as they usually have really good prices.

    Check around and find all your local suppliment stores & smoothie shops.

    I use Vega One...it's a Vegan protein powder that I mix with ice water for 123 calories. I use the natural flavour. 15g protein, 6g of fiber with greens and antioxidants plus it's a low GI. I love it. It's about $40 though for a tub.
