    Most are good.
    I pay $20.00 for a 2lb container of EAS brand at Target.

    I have an obscure eating disorder, so taste and texture are very important when I shop - I'm good with Jarrow Unflavored Protein Powder (2lb at Amazon is around $20 - there's a sale right now, too!). It still has a bit of a flavor, but it's not any sort of disgusting HEY! I'M CHOCOLATE FLAVORED!!! or whatever. I mix it with Hershey syrup or Ovaltine, milk and some PB2 and it's great. Smooth, not gritty or funky (I've returned EAS Soy Protein for that reason). Good luck!

    I'm extremely picky about protein powder. I tried about six different ones before I found a brand I like. I use two BSN Syntha-6 protein powders in chocolate cake batter and banana cream. They aren't the cheapest ones available, but they do turn up on sale from time to time on Amazon and eBay. I really can't handle the taste of the cheaper brands, so my personal philosophy is that you get what you pay for.

    I like Designer Whey French Vanilla - it's not too expensive at Amazon, and my local Trader Joe's sells it too.

    Designer Whey - lots of flavors, not too bad priced and pretty easy to locate - my local grocery store even sells it. It tastes good too!

    If organic, grass fed whey is a priority of yours, be prepared to pay a lot. But the kind I drink (Teraswhey) is great

    Be careful what protein your buying. Majority of the cheap ones are being amino spiked. So the amount of protein it says, its possible its much lower then that per serving. Just something to remember. You get what you pay for.

    That's the problem, I have biox power whey right now and used cellucor they just get expensive after awhile just looking for suggestions . I know walmart proteins such as sixstar ans body fortress are no good . But biox where I am is alright priced for what it's worth I don't rely on it just want to make sure I'm at least putting something good into my body

    Sams club sells a Muscletech protein powder for $35.99 I think for a 5lb bag which isn't spiked. If you have one in your area. Its what I buy when I don't have the budget for MTS Nutrition protein.

    I agree shipping from tigerfitness is high. But its a great product and the owner is my coach so I rep it haha. Read labels is the best way. A lot of them had to change there product because of lawsuits. If you have any in mind you can message me and I can find out for ya

    I've had them all except the mint cookies and crème. Regular cookies and crème is probably my favorite.
