I use Optimum: Gold Standard 100% Whey. I use the strawberry flavor shaken with soy milk as a meal replacement. I like the taste of the two combination.

I like the Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey, they sell it at Walmart and it's cheap. It tastes really good and each scoop is only 140 calories and 26g protein. I use it in smoothies with almond milk and fruit, or I have made more creative recipes like protein pancakes and brownies. Everything has turned out great! I have tried both the vanilla and chocolate peanut butter flavors and they are each amazing. I prefer vanilla because it's more versatile. I can always just add cocoa powder and peanut butter to my shake if I feel like a reeses smoothie!

I use Isagenix IsaLean Shakes, I've had fantastic results with them and there is no need to sweeten them or add dairy (unless you prefer to). Creamy Dutch Chocolate is my absolute fave... I usually blend my shake with a Banana, Ice & Water for Breakfast each morning. Vanilla I usually save to have as a treat with fresh Fruit and sometimes Veggies as well.

I am absolutely addicted and obsessed with my triple chocolate protein powder FROM WALMART baby lol it was like 20 bucks- six star whey protein elite series. A-MA-ZING! Throw in some instant coffee, a tbs of peanut butter and you got DESSERT after a work out! I LOVE IT! I drink it on "off days" as a meal replacement also. Best of luck!!!

---also new and only been 7 days-- BUT 7 HARDCORE CONSISTENT DAYS for the first time ever. CHEERS!

I think you will find that everyone has their favourite brands. To be honest it's all pretty much the same. Whey is extracted from Milk - pure and simple. Therefore Whey is Whey. However, there are other things to consider. Some Wheys are processed to isolate the whey protein and therefore delivering a higher protein content per gram than others. When opting for these expect to pay more. Some wheys mix better than others and some taste better than others. I have tried loads of different. My favourite was Garnell for taste and viscosity, but now I buy everything from Myprotein.com. A great selection of wheys offering many flavours and different levels of isolate from 80% to 95%. I'd say look for a whey that offers 20g of protein for around 100 calories - that's just a guide.

VPX zero - lowest calories to highest protein ratio I've found so far. Also Gold Standard 100% Whey

The way they are processed and the source of the ingredients are important, as well. I want nothing to do with a heat-processed whey or one that is made from milk full of antibiotics and growth hormones.

Isagenix is meant as a meal replacement.. not a protein suppliement if I'm not mistaken. For the price of it, I would rather go get a protein powder from Walmart and use that. Two scoops of Isagenix for only 18g of protein... two scoops of my Body Fortress gives me 50g.

OP, I use Body Fortress Chocolate or Muscle Maxx from Walmart. Muscle Maxx comes in vanilla and chocolate... both are amazing and only $13 a container (smaller container though). This one is great with just milk... tastes like chocolate milk. It has the right amount of sweetness and mixes without getting thick. I have the Body Fortress chocolate as well since i"m trying to use up two containers my mother gave me. I'm not the biggest fan of this one as I find it is thick and I have to add either cocoa, sweetener or a half scoop of my other powder to make this one taste better. Others love the flavour though. For $25 it's a great deal. I will be picking up the Vanilla next time my store has it on sale for $20.

Just keep in mind, a balanced diet will give you the nutrients you need. Protein powders are suppliments to be used when you don't reach your protein goals from real food. They aren't magically, won't make you put on muscle and won't make you burn more fat.
