    Oh, I also tried Optimum Nutrition Strawberry Whey Protein Powder in the past and it was good if you are looking for something very blendable to take just in water, juice, or milk. I got 5 lbs and it lasted several months.

    One thing to be careful with is some companies labels are misleading. They will add separate amino acids and claim the powder has 25 grams protein when in fact it only has 15 or 20. This is called amino spiking. If the powder has a separate amino acid listed after the protein profile and the price is inexpensive, chances are the company amino spiked it.
    Here is a video talking about it.

    Kaizen. They are a Canadian company that sources all of its whey protein only from Canada, New Zealand, and Ireland. Whey Protein Isolate is easier for the body to digest and absorb than any other source of protein including soy protein and regular milk protein. It is very high in branched chain amino acids (valine, leucine, isoleucine) which help maintain healthy muscle tissue and prevent muscle breakdown. Their formula also provides a high concentration of immunoglobulins which are proven to stimulate immune health and response. Unlike many other sources of protein like soy, whey protein isolate contains all the essential and nonessential amino acids.

    I don't think you can get it in the US, which is a shame. It's one protein powder (comes in either chocolate or vanilla) that mixes easily and tastes really good.

    Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey -- Whey Isolates... I get the flavor Cookies and Cream and it's orgasmic. 24g of protein/scoop and only 3 carbs. I'm also lactose intolerant and it doesn't hurt my stomach.

    I LOVE chocolate Promasil. I make it with half cold water and half hot water so it's like drinking hot chocolate. I also like Isopure zero carb proteins.

    What kind/brand of protein powder is the best in terms of health and taste?

    Best in terms of health I would define as the one with least fillers per serving and highest standards of production. Iso Sensation 93.
    Taste-well not my area. I prefer Natural flavor which taste like reconstituted powdered milk.

    I found Organic Whole Nectar - Whole Soy Protein Smoothie Mix when there was a Costco VitaMix special. It blends nicely, and I think it tastes pretty good. The other one i use is Standard Process - Sp Complete Dairy Free Protein Powder

    In terms of health and taste this is the best I've ever tried I'm using Unicity Balance- Lean Complete Protein Shake It's amazing better than I had expected just started using it in October and already I've experienced dramatic results and even better since I've incorporated it into my daily regimen I have lost 16 Lbs in less than two months I really couldnt believe it but now I can see why it's a bit pricey but well worth every penny ... It Cleanses(the body) Burns(fat) & most importantly it Builds(muscles) It also Contains six different proteins that are released in the body at various times -- Keeps you full and satiated reduces cravings etc ... Ive never liked or for that matter enjoyed protein shakes before but this I love ... I purchased it online by a reputable company Check it out @ www.unicity.net ~Order Code # 968 782 02
