Hello all. I workout in the mornings and like a protein shake after for my breakfast. On days that I have lab meetings and can't eat at my usual time (1:30-2pm instead of 11am), I like to do 2 scoops which keeps me full until I can eat lunch. Otherwise I am starving and trying in inhale everything I can get my hands on (which on a college campus is a lot of junk). (Also, I am aware of packing snacks, and I do, I just get so hungry that I look for more and more). My problem is, my fav protein powder recently switched its formula, so now if I do two scoops, it is so thick I can't drink it, and it is gritty now. It used to be great with 1.5cups of liquid (water or milk). Now, even 1 scoop is almost too thick. So what is your favorite?

    Chike is delicious. It tastes like an iced latte.

    IsaPro is amazing! Great taste, all natural ingredients, gluten and soy free. Would love to tell you more about these incredible products. I've experienced increased energy and no cravings anymore through the day.

    Optimum 100% Natural Whey Chocolate. I could safely say I had 7 5lb tubs last year.

    In all honesty, it took me years to find a combination that worked, and that I could actually enjoy the taste. It's a matter of trying out a few combinations and going from there.

    I enjoy a vanilla protein, with cranberry juice and a little water to help with the thickness.

    Red 8 - this is in New Zealand, not sure where else you can get it. The vanilla powder is my favourite.

    I highly suggest Energy First ProEnergy Whey Protein. Tastes really good and has everything you need to have in a protein powder. Only negative thing is that you can only buy it from their website and its a little pricey (unless you buy a case). Well worth it in my opinion.

    Optimum Nutrition (ON) is also a good tasting protein powder.

    Tera's Whey is awesome. It's pretty pricey, but is organic and tastes really good. Bourbon Vanilla is the best.

    Another vote for Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard. It's the only one I found that isn't gritty. Tastes better with milk if you're having it on its own. If you're mixing it with something, water is fine.

    I put mine in fruit smoothies.
