    Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Ice Cream. I mix it with water and ice. Sometimes I add either a banana, strawberries, or a Divinci sugar free syrup.

    I've tried a lot of them and swear by Sun Warrior. I use both the regular blend and the Warrior blend (Warrior blend has pea protein in it). Both are vegan and I don't have the same bloating issues with them that I had with other protein powders - probably bc it doesn't have dairy in it. I'm not a vegetarian but in this case the vegan powder is what worked for me so that's what i use:)

    I always buy vanilla and if i want chocolate add 1 t-1 T of Ghirardelli cocoa powder. Vanilla is so versatile and it's easy to add things to mix up the flavor.

    They will send you a sample if you email them.

    I like Garden of Life Raw Protein. It's easy on the body and seems less processed .

    Be careful... many of them will do more harm than good.

    Watch for added sugar!!!!! and remember sugar has many names... read the ingredients.

    Blue Bonnet Whey Isolate. Tastes great with almond milk and some chia. Tastes good with water. No soy.

    I use Matrix Anabolic Strawberry it's £44 for a 5kg tub, 40g of protein, 178cals and 6g of carbs. It does taste sweet though. Normaly just mixed with water but I have made it with Semi Skim milk and it's like drinking a milkshake.

    Why bother with processed protein powder? Why not just eat real natural proteins? Just wondering about that.

    Sunwarrior Classic Protein - Natural. Tastes better than Garden of Life, but I do love the ingredients in GOL

    The Protein Works - Whey Isolate 90 - Choc Morello Cherry.

    Tastes like a black forest gateau and that's just mixing it with water, never tried it with milk.

    As a vegetarian I find it hard to meet my protein needs without supplementing with protein powder. I also just love the flavor and convenience.

    I'm using Perfect Nutrition Diesel 100% New Zealand Whey Isolate.....111 calories per scoop with 27g of protein.....French vanilla flavour and I mix it with unsweetened almond milk.....and the fact that I'm from New Zealand had absolutely nothing to do with my choice....LOL...:)

    Mostly, convenience. I can carry 60g of protein in a shake to work easily, but a half-pound of chicken is a little tougher because it needs to be kept cold.

    I just store the tub under my desk and drop two scoops a day to boost my protein intake in a convenient form.
