    Whole Food's Organic Whey Protein. Contains stevia extract instead of artificial sweetners and is yummy. A little expensive but pays for itself in terms of health investment. Avoid those containing artificial sweeteners/aspartame.

    Walgreens protein powder is actually pretty good. 26gm of protein, 150 calories. $20 for 23 servings

    You might like to check out the reviews on Amazon.com. You will also get an idea of the costs for various brands. :drinker: Here's to your health.

    This is not a powder or cheap but you did mention healthy so....

    Cliff Builder Bars are good and "all natural" whatever that means. Not the lowest in calories (270) but they do have 20g of protein.


    So yeah, glad I could NOT answer your question. I like peanut butter chocolate.

    I use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard. I pay pay a little under $60 for a 5 pound tub, after shipping. The extremem milk chocolate tastes great. If you put mix it with ice cold water, it really tastes just like a yahoo staright out of the fridge.

    Disregard the hand slapping, people seem to love to do that around here.

    I've most recently tried the vanilla Body Fortress Brand (purchased at Walmart). It was less than $20 and comparable to the Nutrilite (Amway) brand I was using previously (which is almost triple that amount).

    Thanks missy! I will check into it. :wink:

    People! You get what you pay for. Buy cheap low priced nutritional products and guess what you get? Low quality results.

    Shoot for a whey protein isolate... I've seen 3lbers for $50 which is actually a good price for a high quality protein like that.

    I use Isolate Complete by Nutracore nutrition. 3lbs for $50, tastes really good, is a high quality cold filtered and cold processed protein, has added CLA and L-carnitine for fat burning, really good amount of antioxidants added in, and a probiotic. It doesn't get any better than that protein for weightloss.

    I also get the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey. I haven't met a flavor from them that I hadn't liked, and I don't think that it is too expensive depending on where you buy it from. My local GNC was having a huge sale on it about a month ago, so I got 2 large tubs for about $90. That supply will last me well into summer since each tub has over 70 servings.

    Not sure how serious you are about your whey, but it may be better to spend on the better quality product as sometimes they do not contain the amount of whey indicated on the label

    i.e.:

    http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/tcpmt/american_pure_whey_is_american_pure_****/ (starts are a 4 letter word for poop)

    I use Optimum Nutrition, 60g or brotein per serving

    I've heard similar claims about body fortress (what I'm currently using). Just had some trutein shipped to my condo, but haven't tried it yet as it's sitting in the office and I won't be home during their hours until tomorrow. :cry:

    Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard is my favorite. I bought a 2lb tub of it from GNC when it was on sale for $30. I got strawberry and I really like it with almond/coconut milk.

    Just make your own protein shake with 1 cup Fat free Cottage Cheese,1 cup skim milk,1 Tbsp "all natural" peanut butter,5 Ice cubes 1/2 a package of sugar free chocolate pudding mix. Has something like 45 grams of Protein.

    otherwise the premade ones are good the Naked Protein Zone ones are awesome tasting or the Main Street Cafe ones taste really good especially the Peach one of that one.

    I'm with this guy. Optimum Nutrition - 4.5 lbs whey isolate at COSTCO for $55. 55 servings and really only needed on workout days (3 times per week. I use it as a post workout only. This way it supply's what I need when I need it. No reason to overdo it! 140 cals 60 protein, 3 carb, 1 fat. No sugars added. I sometimes do the walmart brand, but it is concentrate/ isolate blend and has sugar added for taste. I like my natural sugars..not added crap.

    Given that protein is just over 4 cals / g haw can 60*4 (=240). Be less than 140 cals?

    I have Wegman's vanilla whey protein that I'm finishing up. I also have some "body by vi" soy protein. The last few days when I'm not hitting my protein for the day I've been mixing both with almond milk (22 protein & 175 cal). I was going to look for something with a higher protein count as soon as my whey was gone so thanks for the ideas. I've tried protein bars but just can't stomach them!

    Why does it all have to be chocolate or vanilla? I use hemp protein powder just because it doesn't destroy the taste of my smoothies.
