    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.

    I'm looking for something to mix with my iced coffee and hot latte drinks I make in the morning...I already like the taste, just want a bit of a boost, do you think that pea protein would accomplish that? I've never tried any protein powders but I'm not looking for an ingredient to taste, just something to mix with a beverage I already enjoy.
