What protein powder do you use?

Just wondering what others use to get extra protein....like shakes/powder/etc. What has the less calories and tastes decent!

    Me and my partner use My Protein and buy the shakes. He buys Impact Whey and I buy Elle True Diet.
    He loves the chocolate flavour the best and I think it's quite nice but I only tried the Strawberry one because that's all they had at the time. Just ordered the Vanilla one but haven't tried it yet.
    It mixes well.

    (according to MFP)
    Impact Whey Protein - 25g = 98 cals.
    Elle True Diet - 25g = 108 cals.

    Just realised that the "diet" has more cals in than the impact whey but hey ho! :)
  • Thanks Phoenix! I will have to check that out!

  • I use Visalus (I don't sell it- just buy it). It tastes like cake batter.
    I mix it with my oatmeal and some peanut butter.

    After a workout, I'll have a pre made Muscle Milk, just for the ease of it.

    QNT Metapure - Zero Carb Whey Protein Isolate - Lactose Free, Aspartame Free, Vanilla Flavour, available from all GNC Stores. It is the purest form of protein currently available on the market and it tastes great!

    I use Muscle Maxx Vanilla from Walmart. 125 cals a scoop... tastes really good and can be mixed in so many different ways.

    I like Spiru-tein vanilla. It's vegan (I've gone vegan in the past) and I like the taste.

    PhD Diet Whey or Phd Pharma Why HT+, all flavours in both types are good.

    I use Bodybuilding.com's brand in Chocolate.
    It tastes great! One of the only brands I have tried that I could actually enjoy eating/drinking.
    I use it as a meal replacement in the morning and also after working out.

    I too use Spiru-tein (99 cals per scoop) and mix with a scoop of Garden of Life Perfect Super Green Formula (30 calories per scoop). The Super Green Formula has to be bleneded really really juice for me to be able to find it palatable. That is why I mix it with Spiru-tein (strawberry). I use reduced sugar orange juice (50 cals per 8oz), water and apple juice to balance the taste. It reminds me of bolthouse green machine, only with less sugar. If I use two scoops of super green and 2 scoops of Spiru-tein, I simply mix in a 32 oz jar and shake. It may not seem to mix well immediately, but will after it sits for a while (about 1 hour).

    I tried EAS in the past, but I couldn't get it down.

    Now, I'm using Advocare Meal Replacement Shake - Vanilla flavor. Maybe not what you're looking for...
