I want to try a new kind of protein shake. What is the best brand? What do people on here drink?

    I've been trying a few different types recently. Some are just protein, others are labeled a Meal Replacement Shake, because they also include vitamins and sometime fiber.

    For straight out protein, the best I found was a soy protein from Whole Foods. Chocolate, about $12 for the canister. I mixed it with skim milk (only 6 oz) in my magic bullet blender and it tasted like cake batter - in a totally yummy way.

    Others I have tried don't blend as well and often have lumps. I've learned to chew through them, but really wish they weren't there.

    For MRS, the best I have found for the price is at Aldi's. They sell a four pack of 11 oz bottles for around $3.50. I love that they are Grab and Go from the fridge, but there are some powders around with a bit more protein and fiber. Read the labels.

    The biggest thing I have learned is that everyone's taste is personal. It's a good idea to get recommendations here, but don't buy a case of it until you taste it for yourself.

    I have an herbalife dutch chocolate and protein shake everyday. So far I like them the best due to taste. Healthy and a tasty treat for breakfast. Can add banana to get that classic chocolate banana flavor.

    Oh Yeah!!!
    Milk chocolate flavor, has most protein and least sugar of all that I've seen. tastes good just with water, but I like it with unsweetened Almond milk just for extra flavor.

    Drink or eat, whichever way you like it, Herbalife Berry is my favourite with extra protein for recovery or pre-workout, chuck in any fruits, banana, apple, pear, peach, mango, or veggies - I also make it with broccoli, carrot, celery, comes out just awesome!

    I like Syntrax Nectar and Matrix protein shakes. They come in all kinds of flavors and mix well with just a spoon. I mix with almond milk or just plain water. My favorites are Apple Ectasy and Strawberry crème.

    Trutein protein powder is the BOMB! All flavors are yummy...banana cream, chocolate truffles and peach mango are ones I have tried so far. Can't go wrong with this one. It is a casein, egg white and whey blend.
