i'm just getting into more weight training and am using protein powder to increase my intake... but i'm having trouble finding one that i like!
are they all chalky and unpleasant tasting!? that can't be the case, so i'd love to hear some recommendations from people about which protein powders they like best and why.

    I like the Jillian Michaels whey protein. I'm currently using Body Fortress Advanced whey protein or something like that.. It doesn't taste very good, but I got a big thing of it. I think I'll go back to the Jillian Michaels - vanilla ;)

    I use Body Fortress Advanced - Strawberry. It taste pretty bad when mixed with water! But I mix it in a blender and just chug it down! It does taste pretty good with milk though.

    My favorite is Bariatric Advantage meal replacement. It's DELICIOUS. But it's pricey (50.00) for a 2 lb container.

    So my next favorite is Isopure Zero Carb and then Dymatize Elite, Gourmet Vanilla. Dymatize Elite is the one that I've been sticking with because the price is good, the carbs, fat and cholesterol are a minimum and it has a great deal of protein per serving.

    There is also Body Fortress available at Walmart for $20.00 or less right now. It is higher in fat, carbs and cholesterol though. It might be acceptable for someone in training or looking to build alot of muscle with intense workouts.

    Good luck!

    I did not like JIllians. Try ISO Sensation 93 from GNC it taste great all by itself even when it is mixed with just water

    I love Syntha 6 vanilla ice cream. It really tastes like vanilla ice cream. I love it. Its a bit on the pricey side though.

    Syntrax Nectar brand. Its a whey protein isolate. You can mix it with water. Has only 90 calories, no carbs, no sugar and 23 proteins. They have many flavors. I like the fuzzy navel.

    Amplify Chocolate Protein from NDS Nutrition here in Omaha is the best I've found, but it's pricey at $90 for 5 lbs.

    I just ordered ON NitroCore Chicolate Supreme from amazon for half that price so we'll see how I like that. I'm using it as a breakfast meal replacement (since the thought of eating actual food for breakfast makes me queasy) so I like that it's a whey and casein combination so I feel full longer.
