I haven't tried any of them before. I'm thinking of adding it to my diet. What are some of the good tasting ones?

    I have an uncanny ability to ignore taste. I have yet to try one that tastes good. They all taste like you're eating plastic. Just plug your nose and choke it down.

    I second this! Greek or natural, it tastes lovely. I also mix in a little peanut butter when I have breakfast - great start to the day, that :)

    I use the Amp Pro Whey Extreme 60 from GNC. I like the chocolate. It's lower in calories and still get a good high protein intake. I mix it with milk, coffee, and banana in a shake. Super good. If it means anything.. my 4 yr. old likes it and you know it's got to be pretty good when a kid likes it. :0)

    I was thinking of posting this topic myself. I'm not so concerned with flavor, willing to taste a variety but there are big differences in cost and what they are made of. Any guidance at all is welcome either here or message me. Thanks.

    it's not a protein powder, but I really like shakeology. but for price, most people seem to like isopure. I have the cookies n cream one, and it's decent. a little too vanilla-y for me, but I like dark chocolate a lot. I usually order from allstarhealth, my friend LOVES the alpine and banana flavors...

    I drink Isopure it has no carbs no sugars and no bull**** in it so I love it, it also offers a pretty epic 25g per scoop

    also also, this isn't a powder, but I use textured vegetable protein to add more protein to my meals.

    Optimum Nutrition is the brand I think tastes best. I tried 1 or 2 from walmart and they were horrible and you couldn't cover up the taste.

    I've been using the GNC Lean 25 (Vanilla) So delicious with a Banana , Almond milk and a flavored Yogurt .. If I want chocolate I add 2 Tbl spoons of Hershey chocolate powder ...

    I just Bought the 6lb bag of 100% Whey at Costco , I haven't tried it yet, but it seemed like the best Value compared to other protein powders .

    i go which chocolate and usually get the GNC Amp brand which is a little pricey ..you can get gold standard whey for less...and it tastes pretty good...

    chocloate powder + milk + crushed ice = milk shae..only way freaking better for you ...!

    I like Red 8 Whey powder. The vanilla tastes yummy and has very few additives.

    I'm currently using one from wal mart-body fortress I think. Its ok-I do however feel nauseated after I have it for some reason. Not sure if its a crap brand or just the whey powder itself?

    Vanilla powder is really popular. Add it to hot chocolate, yogurt, etc.
    You can mix in a scoop of PLAIN protein powder into literally any meal and it's tasteless, rice, eggs, beef, lasagna, anything.

    GNC all natural vanilla is good and no weird ingredients,45 grams of protein powder is 40 g of protein and 170 calories,1 gram of fat,1.5 g of carbs,,great way to up the protein,a bit pricey but worth paying for good quality,5.5 pounds is around $110.00

    the body fortress vanilla is pretty tasty!
    For cost purposes I just buy the whole foods brand vanilla whey protein powder...its cheap and I get to use my employee discount. I like the taste as well but it isn't my favorite.

    I use impact whey protein from myprotein.com - I bought banoffee flavour but it is a bit too sweet for me so I mix it with milk and add to coffee instead of sugar.

    I've used Optimum Nutrition on many occasions. Good solid product with a good range of flavours and great taste.
