    BSN Syntha 6 best tasting protein on the market in my opinion. I've tried a lot of other ones and some even made my stomach hurt.

    My 2 favorites are the chocolate peanut butter and peanut butter cookie!

    Small tub is about $30 big tub is $50.

    Lean1 meal replacement shake is awesome. Can drink it with just water. It's $36 at Vitamin Shoppe. It's better to get it on amazon or on the nutrition53 website when they've got sales. They also always have bundle and saves. My fav is the chocolate peanut butter. Chocolate is also good, but I find myself always adding PB2 to it to make it taste like the other one. 220 cals, 17g protein, full meal replacement

    My other fave is Optimum Nutrition Whey isolate in the rocky road flavor. It's gross with water, but so delicious with unsweetened almond milk. It's $28 for a 2 lb tub with 28 servings, $50-ish for a 5lb, and I think there's big bags too, like 11 lbs or so. 120 cal, 24g of protein.

    I just got the chocorite protein shake and I love it. 150 cal for two scoops and 20g protein, only 3 net carbs. The yellow cake flavor is really good.

    Optimum Nutrition Performance Whey Isolate.

    It's a protein supplement though and that's all...Shakeology has a bunch of other stuff...so I guess it depends on what you're truly looking for.

    Agree. The strawberry milkshake us the best. Not a fan of the macro makeup if it though.

    My other favorite is ON Gold Standard French Vanilla.

    PEScience select proteins are the best. I love their snickerdoodle and vanilla. They're all amazing

    I'll tell you what not to try. Optimum nutrition cookie dough. Its the most vile tasting shake I've had yet. Almost returned it to GNC it was so nasty.

    Quest salted Carmel is good.

    My favorite protein shakes are the premier protein. They are premade, ready to drink. They have 30 grams of protein and only 1 sugar, 170 calories. I would usually have them with a serving of fruit, either on the side or blended in. BJs, costco and SAMs all have them. 12 pack for like $18.99. Walmart has them too but not quite as cheap. There is a coupon at both BJs and SAMs right now for $4 off. Both the vanilla and the chocolate taste great. Like flavored milk. They sell a powder but I have not tried that. They have protein bars which are very good also. Those I usually split in half and keep in ziplocks to take with me. They also now have fiber snack bars which I bought at Sam's club, 15 pack for $10.88 on sale. Yummy.

    For a meal.reolacement: EAS Complete Nutrition. I like the vanilla and the chocolate. With water or milk it's yummy.

    For post workout protein: Gold Standard French Vanilla whey with passion fruit BPI Best BCAAs mixed in. I drink that in water.

    For a protein shake to hit my macros that releases slows than whey: Gold Standard casein in blueberry or vanilla. I usually drink that in water, but sometimes with milk for a thicker dessert-like texture.

    Nutralean tastes AMAZING, my kids even like it. 30g of protein, 10g of fibre, 200cal, and sweetened with stevia and sucralose. It's about $70 Cdn for a bag on autoship, so about 25% less in US$.

    These are at Costco too, it was $24 for an 18 pack. 30g protein for 160 calories was impressive.

    Syntha-6 hands down. Too bad it's a bit expensive calorie-wise per gram of protein compared to other powders.

    Yes, I mentioned Costco in there too. They really only have the chocolate and vanilla shakes. They are the only ones that do not have a discount of $4 right now. I also didn't see any of the bars there today. Sams seems to carry the best selection of their stuff. They have the discount until the 27th, and BJs has it until the 16th. Costco does it once in a while too just not now.

    I agree, a lot of bang for your buck with these shakes. Priced reasonable, taste good, and lots of protein for not many calories. Do you use them?

    Costco had chocolate, strawberry and vanilla yesterday! It likely varies by region.

    The standard price at Costco is $1.38/ea, and Sam's club with the $4 off is $1.25/ea, not much of a difference there.

    My friends love them, so I thought I would give it a try. I've been eating some 160 calorie bars with 15g of protein, and this is double the protein for the same calories!

    Wow, my costco does not have the strawberry! Never has. Yeah, not much difference in price. I usually am more attentive than that! And I am the queen of price comparison! Does your costco have any of the bars? They make 30 gram bars too that are very good. And.... I just bought the fiber crispy snack bars that I eat as "dessert" at night. They are very good.

    Btw, where are you?

    Muscle Milk is good, but high in fat. Six grams of fat per scoop. I picked up a jug of Optimum Nutrition vanila ice cream. It tastes good, lower in fat, and higher in protien.
