I'm looking to add some protein to my diet, but I'm not a huge meat lover. I am looking for suggestions for a protein powder that has a nice flavor. I love both vanilla and chocolate, so I could do either flavor.

I have a GNC down the road from me, so that would be my most convenient shopping option. I've never shopped for this stuff before, and I know it's expensive, so I want to make sure I get a decent brand and don't waste my money.:laugh:

Any suggestions?

    I like Optimum Nutrition's Extreme Milk Chocolate flavor. It's the only protein poweder I've had that tastes good mixed with just water.You can get it at GNC.

    Optimum Nutrition has great protein mixes, and a good variety of flavors.
    Try some small samples and see what you like.

    In terms of pure taste, I am always a fan of Muscle Milk.

    GNC's Wheybolic Amp. It has 60g of protein per serving (so I usually use a third of a serving). It has a combination of protein isolate and hydrolyzed protein. It is lower on the "heavy metals" than some brands (like muscle milk and Myoplex). I really like the taste (I get the vanilla) and it mixes easily.
