    I just get the stuff at Wal-Mart actually I think that most grocery stores have it. I forget the name though. One can pay more for others and get bells and whistles or go cheap and get just the extra protein one is looking for.

    Syntax Nectar Whey Protein Isolates powders are exceptional. I prefer the fruit flavors (my favs are fuzzy navel and lemonade). 1 scoop is 24 g protein, 100 calories, zero fat and zero carbs.

    NOW foods has some great pricing options. They also range in whey protein, soy protein, vegetable protein, and isolates. Great stuff. I get mine from Swanson's Vitamins. Decent pricing, and they usually have shipping specials.

    I'd like to throw my question in here, I was about to post a similar topic, I need to get more whey and I have some recipes that call for vanilla flavored powder. Problem is all of the brands I have tried (gnc, walmart (generic), ON, to name a few) taste horrible when mixed with water.

    Is there a Vanilla whey that tastes good by itself?

    I use Bluebonnet Whey Protein Isolate. It is all-natural, made in the U.S., and sourced from grass-fed cow's milk (antibiotic and rBGH-free) from New Zealand. I only use the french vanilla flavor, and I mix it with water and various fruits, but I have never felt the need to add any other kind of sweetener.

    I use Genuine Health's proteins+

    You may or may not have it there where you live but should you not.. go for a very low carb one, minimum 25g of protein.. if you can find a protein powder that is sweetened with stevia that's even better! Much better than gross refined sugar

    Isopure Natural vanilla. No artificial sweeteners at all, tastes like a vanilla milkshake with no chemical taste. 1 scoop is 115 Calories with 25G protein. Uses Evaporated Cane juice (cane Sugar) and Luo Han Guo for sweetener. It is the best tasting whey protein I have ever had. Allstarhealth has it $10 cheaper than everyone else online as well.

    I use Isopure as well but I prefer the Dutch chocolate! 110 cals, 25g protein per scoop and it actually tastes good and mixes well - it doesn't leave a gritty tecture when you mix it with yogurt or add it to shakes.

    @ Blugrasgrl79

    My husband and I just started the GNC Lean Shake 25. It tastes great , mixes well with fruits or instant coffee for morning shake. since it is the 25g protein, it does make you feel full and stay with you.
    Last year I was only using the GNC Lean Shake that has 9g protein and it worked fine. i averaged about 10lbs a month off. BUT now they have the 25, I prefer that because I do feel fuller longer and its good to have the extra protein. :)

    I have not found a vanilla that is good on its own. I use vanilla for baking/mixing and other flavors for shakes.

    I thought about getting protein powder, so this is a great conversation! The question I have is this.... is too much protein back for you?

    I bought Bodylogix 100% Natural Whey Protein Powder, in chocolate. It mixes wonderfully, and tastes awesome. It has Stevia only as a sweetener (others give me headaches), and it's cheap ($21 ).
