    Unflavoured impact whey from MyProtein. Because it mixes perfectly, is cheap, has little additives and I can flavour it with whatever I want. (The Flavdrops they sell are quite good). If I was better off I'd get the whey isolate, which has a higher protein content, but hey.

    Syntrax Matrix vanilla. Tastes really good and has a great blend of protein sources.

    I also really like Dymatize Elite vanilla. By far the best tasting whey I've had.

    I like both of these because they're good protein, taste great, mix well, and extremely low carbs with a good source of vitamins.

    Metrx Ultramyosyn Whey -- Peanut Butter Cup
    Walker's Diet -- Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry

    Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Isolate - Vanilla Creme
    Calories: 130
    Protein: 30
    Carbs:1

    This is the first one I've found that I like mixed only with water (as opposed to milk). It's pretty affordable too - $21.99 at Walmart for a 2 lb jug. It's a good basic flavor that goes well with just about anything.

    GNC Wheybolic Amp 60 Vanilla

    I like it because a serving is 60g protein (3 scoops) and I can pretty easily use just one scoop to get the 20g extra I want per day. It tastes delicious even just mixed with water it's like a dessert. It also has a blend of Whey Protein Isolate and Hydrolyzed whey which is awesome and it was 3 lbs for $50.

    I love Muscle Maxx Chocolate. It is relatively cheap and tastes just like chocolate milk.

    This only I prefer the chocolate. One scoop is 20 grams of protein and only like 93 calories!

    Man, you're either getting ripped off or I'm getting a good deal. It's only $15.99 at my Walmart. I like it cause I'm cheap.

    I prefer the chocolate kind, but the vanilla isn't bad.

    Body Fortress has significant amounts of creatine, if that matters to you. I don't want to go bald so I don't take creatine (srsly).

    MRM because of it's sodium and protein to calorie ratio. My husband is on a low sodium diet and some of those mixes go up to 250 mg a scoop!!! It also had a better protein to calorie ratio than the more expensive one the guy at Sprouts tried to sell me...even though less protein per scoop, just scoop 1.5 times...

    1 scoop
    85 calories
    1 g Fat
    40 mg sodium
    2 g carbs
    18 g protein

    For me I will mix it into a shake by using bolthouse protein shake (not a lot like 1/2 cup) and 1/2 cup light (but not artificial) juice, and 1/2 a greek yogurt (tastes best w/ frozen greek yogurt) For hubby I have to be more careful about delivery b/c of sodium.

    I buy it at Sprouts - on sale its about $36 for a LARGE tall product - I think it was $18 for the smaller.

    Aria Women's Protein by Designer Whey, it's in the natural foods section at Kroger. I buy it because only 2 g sugar, 80 cals and 22 g protein per serving. The vanilla is much better than chocolate. You can also get it on Amazon.

    It does have some, but not really a significant amount...

    I like Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey (all flavors) and Max Muscle Iso-X (all flavors) because they are awesome in flavor and made from whey isolates and BCAAs without all the fillers and lower quality protein that Wal-Mart powders are famous for.

    And I personally think Body Fortress tastes like chalk.

    I like Swanson Vitamins Whey Protein Powder. 20 grams of protein in a scoop at 90 calories. It has 0.5 grams of fat, and it has no artificial or natural sweetener. It mixes really well, and you can add it to just about anything and not know it's there. It only cost $24.99 for about 2 pounds.
