    Vega One. The Vanilla one is slightly too sweet for me unless it's mixed with some other things (milk, spinach etc) but I really like the "Green/Natural" flavour and I've never ever had any issues stomach-wise (which I have with a lot of others).

    Depends ...

    I drink Isopure while lifting or after a run (has electrolytes). For breakfast, I like Fitness Labs 6-protein blend. I like Manitoba Harvest Hemp proteins in my smoothies. :smile:

    dymatize elite the smooth banana is good and unique and it dissolves well. the cafe mocha taste great and has a little caffeine and I think it they all have a few grams of BCAAs tossed in for good measure. I mix mine with unsweetened cashew milk.

    Cellucor - they're all great, but mint chocolate chip is my favorite
    MusclePharm Combat Powder - cookies & cream is amazing
    Dymatize ISO-100 - I've only tried vanilla, but it's good and I'm sure the other flavors are even better

    Dymatize brand I find are the best tasting. I drink ISO 100 after a workout and Elite at night for recovery.

    I will always recommend MTS as a priority because the flavors are amazing, great profile, and I support the CEO, Marc Lobliner.

    Two other brands I'll recommend would be Cellucor or Dymatize.

    I use, Body Fortress isolate whey protein, both the vanilla and chocolate are good and mix well with water. They have a good protein to calorie ratio and you can get it a Walmart for $21 bucks, I've seen it there on special for 18.88. It works.

    I have a silly question.....I will fess up ahead of time....why are people so into protein powders? So many of the foods you eat provide protein, I just am not sure why this is such a popular option...sounds yummy though

    For me, personally, I don't get enough protein and protein powder was an easy way to help me meet that macro.

    I buy whey isolate from the bulk store. No flavour or sweetener. I mix it with unsweetened almond milk and a bit of maple syrup. I also stir it into oatmeal. It's cheap and versatile!

    I just started using Intek Evolution. It's pretty good. I also discovered Muscle Egg, which is pasteurized egg whites that are chocolate flavored. Sounds disgusting but they actually have a pretty decent taste. When mixed together, I get 55 grams of protein.

    I wanted a non-dairy protein powder and use Source Naturals, Pea Protein Power. It has one ingredient - pea protein concentrate. I'm a foodie and prefer to add my own flavors. Don't get it if you want something that will be yummy just mixed with liquid.

    francesgenao - I mostly put it in smoothies but also in other things for which I want to boost the protein count.

    Cellucor or Mutant - I find that they are both good in the tummy department. I've gotten that awful gut feeling with a few (don't remember the names), but both of these brands have worked well for me.
