Hi everyone! So I have the hardest time finding a protein powder that actually tastes good. I've tried most from Whole Foods and they all taste like crap. Maybe I should try to stop finding the healthiest and just go for something at GNC or the vitamin shop. What is your favorite?

    I use Optimum Nutrition vanilla ice cream flavor. It is the best tasting one, in my opinion, and it goes with virtually any fruit that you may want to add to it. It's available at GNC.

    I use Lean 25, which is available at GNC. It's a lower calorie protein powder with, you guessed it, 25g of Protein per serving. ;) I usually get the vanilla flavor, but they have lots of flavors to choose from. :) Good luck finding your new favorite!

    I have recently started using Giant Sports protein and it is by far the best protein i have ever tasted. They actually claim its the best tasting out there and in my opinion it is. Even the vanilla tastes good and i usually hate vanilla powder. Give em a shot i think you'll like it.

    Muscle Gauge Nutrition (MGN) Whey Isolate. I can't stand to drink anything other than that now, ever since I started drinking it. They have a lot of different flavors (Cinnamon Bun, Ice Cream Sandwich, Vanilla Caramel, Chocolate, etc., etc., etc.) and you can even get an Unflavored. I get it from Bodybuilding.com. The only drawback is that they're out of stock frequently, because it goes so fast. I usually will buy multiple quantities when a flavor I like is in stock, because I hate running out of it.

    I've only used Optimum Nutrition and they are quite tasty. I've tried the chocolate, mint chocolate and peanut butter chocolate. French vanilla just arrived today but haven't tried it yet. I plan to mix it with fruit.

    I gave up on my quest for a super healthy protein powder. Too many fails and $$$ wasted. I went with super edible/tasty, instead. I am quite in love with MusclePharm Combat Powder (140 cals, 1.5g fat, 5g carb, 25g protein per 35g scoop). I'm devouring my tub of the cookies & cream flavor at the moment. It's so insanely good, but it's hard flavor to pair with other things (I mix with unsweetened almond milk or water). MP has several other flavors (vanilla, chocolate, triple berry, orange creamsicle, choc PB, banana cream, smores, etc.). I found cookies & cream at Costco. You can also find the powders at Bodybuilding.com & Vitaminshoppe.com, and Amazon.

    I like Body Fortress in chocolate. Do NOT get Body Fortress in chocolate peanut butter. Blech!

    Though it's only 16g protein per scoop I like the Muscle Milk Red Velvet Cake. It's like having a little dessert every morning.

    I buy the Target brand because I think it tastes pretty good, is pretty low calorie and really high in protein.

    My boyfriend buys Syntha-6, which I think tastes a lot better, but is higher calorie for less protein.

    I have been buying the Chocolate Muscletech "100% Ultra Pure Whey Isolate Plus" at Sam's. 1 scoop has 1 g of Fat and 1 g Sugar and is only 160 Calories for 30 g of Protein. I mix with 1/2 c of Skim milk, 1/2 c of water and ice cubes. Put in the blender and it tastes like a chocolate shake! Sometimes I add a banana. So many of the protein drinks are high in sugar and calories. We like the Syntha-6 for taste but it is higher calories for less protein.

    I use GC Control from Melaleuca and also Wheyabolic 60 from GNC. They are GREAT. My husband is SUPER picky and he really likes the Melaleuca one.

    Nutracore Lean 7. The chocolate cake flavor tastes literally like someone took chocolate cake mix and just canned it as protein powder. Has 30 grams of protein. 145 calories. 5 grams of carbs and only 1 gram of sugar. A lot of amino acids including branch chains. CLAs as well. Good builder, but I've used it for meal replacement. While it doesn't list the percentages of the vitamins, among its ingredients are dozens. You can mix it with milk (or whatever), but it tastes amazing with just water.
