Any suggestions for a protein powder that actually tastes good? I don't want a builder, just a healthy, lean, good tasting powder for shakes :smile:

    I get MaxPro chocolate from Max Muscle. It's the only one I've ever tried that I actually enjoy. Unfortunately, everyone's tastebuds are different in this arena. I would suggest going to a couple of different stores and asking for free samples. They're always willing to accomodate.

    I like the PhD range, Diet Whey, Pharma Whey HT are both good, not had a bad flavour yet. Usually mix mine half milk/half water with berries, flax mix and maybe peanut butter. I then, as Jamie Oliver says "waz it up" in a blender.

    I like the banana and vanilla nutrisport 90+ proteins and i love gaspari myofusion probiotic cookies and cream but its a like 50 cals more a shake but sits well in my stomach. I mix all mine with water.

    As V44V as said i have heard nothing but good things about PHD diet whey and the calories are low.

    It might be best to buy a few different brands in smaller tubs and find one you like or see if you can blag some samples. Just send an email to the companies you never know.

    Love love The Good Whey company, they just taste like milkshakes and aren't really heavy and taste great. The code NEWYOU40 should get you 40% off too.

    Dymatize Iso-100 is my fave. Roughly 100 k/cal, just 1g carbs, tastes pretty good.

    I found a place online where you can order samples. It is a little spendy, but if you want to try a lot without buying a bunch of stuff that might end up in the trash this is probably the way to go.

    I have not ordered yet, but I did look up the company on the Better Business Bureau and it has an excellent reputation. (I'm very leery of online companies that I'm not familiar with.)

    For now, I picked up a $16 canister of Body Fortress whey protein powder, strawberry, at WalMart. I've read that some people don't like the artificial flavored taste, but I think it is pretty good. I mix mine with Silk almond milk (also something to new me). The combination has helped me to increase my protein and calcium without adding a lot of calories.

    You may want to try Zero Carb Isopure Strawberries & Cream protein shake. It has no carbs, very low fat & cholesterol with many vitamins and minerals.

    I like my Kaizen brand. I love the Strawberry & Banana one, but they also have Vanilla and Chocolate.
