I love syntha-6. It tastes the best to me. I order it on Amazon.com. I drink it after my workouts.1

The cheapest that doesn't taste bad, and isn't full of carbs. For me, that's ON Whey Protein Vanilla Ice Cream flavored.Going to start drinking a Protein shake once a day. What brand do you recomend?
Amazon, but bodybuilding.com also has it on sale sometimes.Where can I get it?
It makes no difference at all when you drink it in relation to your workouts. Whenever you're most comfortable.Best to drink before or after a work out?

I've never tasted any better than PE Science, especially considering the protein/calories.2

Ansi pro series $37.49 69 servings 5 lbs0

Whichever you can find that tastes find best to you and had the most protein per gram. There really is no right answer. It's all opinions.1

Just started Whey protein 1x a day myself- of course I love the chocolate- I have bought off Amazon & at Wal-mart -both taste about the same.0

If you can, pick up some single serving packets and do a taste test. They are more expensive but can save you from buying a large amount of something you dislike, so worth it in the long run. Maybe amazon has a variety of flavors in single size from some manufacturers? I know they had a variety pack of Quest bars, as that's what I did to try Quest bars.
The Quest protein powders (3-4 flavors, anyway) are sold in single serving sizes at my local 7-11s. Unfortunately, I didn't like them that much, but many do. WF has a bunch of other ones in the single serving (I like Biochem and Jay Robb's flavors), but I'd assume any powder sold by WF is not a deal. They might be available cheaper elsewhere, though.0 -

I use Isoflex Chocolate, it's pretty good!1

PESCIENCE is by far the best tasting and best at mixing. I got their new chocolate frosted cupcake one and it's delicious!! Low carb and low calorie too!0

I like Dymatize Elite Rich Chocolate and Cellucor Peanut Butter Marshmallow. They both mix well on shaker bottles with water, Almond milk, or 2% milk. Additionally, for a snack, I will mix a scoop of one of these powders with a cup of low fat Plain Greek yogurt with an ounce of plain granola for texture, or I sometimes mix a scoop of the powder with a cup of low fat cottage cheese from 2%. Be careful buying really cheap protein powders. You get what you pay for. Chances are if you find one REALLY cheap, then they are probably amino spiking which is protein trickery .

I tend to use EAS Whey + Casein vanilla powder. It gives both a quick and slow-releasing blend of protein, so it gives the body a steady supply for a few hours [the container says a max of six hours]. It's very light on the sweetener, so the vanilla flavor isn't very overpowering, which makes it perfect for blending with a water enhancer [I tend to add a squeeze of orange liquid enhancer to mine to make an orange creamcicle style protein shake].
Plus, if you're on the SNAP program [I was for awhile due to lack of work] it has a nutrition facts label so it's covered by SNAP benefits.1 -
I've used Vega Green Protein, didn't like it at all. I've use EAS. I do like it, has a good flavor and a smooth texture. However I stumbled across MyProtein [dot] com. Ordered the Impact Rocky Road and it's the most flavorful and smoothest Whey I've personally used*.
*These are my opinions and I am entitled to them.
Plus when I buy it, i get it for about it for about 50 cents a serving.
1 Serving is- 1 carb
- 2.0 grams of fat
- 20.0 grams of protein
- 35.0mg of Sodium
- 15% of your daily Calcium

NOW Sports - Not a lot of "junk" in it... I like the taste, however my son and wife do not, although I am not picky and not looking for a "treat"! They think it is supposed to be like a milkshake or something...

I like the pure protein, pre mixed ones that Costco sells. 30 Grams per shake and pretty tasty.2

Another vote for MyProtein. I'm a pretty heavy user, so I buy in bulk. I'm able to buy Impact Whey at a fraction of the cost of other brands (ON, Dymatize, etc.). It's best combination of taste, value and quality by far.2 -
There are just so many! Like some have said - try a few and see what you like, but make sure it's high in protein and low in carbs if you're looking for a true protein supplement as opposed to a meal replacement. I use Legion Whey. I get Chocolate, Vanilla, and Cookies 'N Creme. They have a Strawberry Banana, but I have no idea if it's good - that flavor is not for me. If you don't like their product you can always return it for a full refund, so that's nice. I've seen others with some great sounding flavors, but haven't branched out. I think you can get samples at places like Vitashoppe. Good luck with your search!

I enjoy Leanfit Whey Chocolate. Tastes good, and doesn't break the bank.0

Isopure flavorless protein...it mixes well with chocolate or vanilla almond milk, in a smoothie with other ingredients, or in baked goods, meatload, etc...0

I LOVE the Lifestyle mix from Le-Vel!!! It's 15g of protein, comes in 4 different flavors that all are really tastey and fills me up for hours!!! Also gluten free and non-GMO are good perks too!-2
-
15g isn't that much protein but I guess since you are selling it you have to make it sound amazing4

I only have experience with vegan protein powders, but I hope this can still help. I prefer Orgain vanilla protein powder added to fruit smoothies and with unsweetened cashew milk for the liquid. Vega sport is very good for keeping you feeling satisfied for a long time, but I'm not a huge fan of the taste (at first it was good but I got tired of it). Luckily Vega sport can be found in single use packages so I suggest you try it out if whey bothers you (which it personally does for me)0

I have tried all types of powders, top name brand and generic, and by far Isopure is the best. Not gonna lie, its pretty expensive. But if youre like me and flavor is a huge factor for you, then you should try it. Finding the right powder will take time, effort and money(but that goes without saying, haha). So good luck!!

I use Optimum Nutrition Rocky Road and Vanilla daily. I used the Rocky Road for a long time with just milk as a shake. Now I make smoothies with them. I like the taste and nutrition they have. I won't be changing brands anytime soon.0
-
I like
Optimum nutrition chocolate /peanut butter casein.
Quest peanut butter protein powder.
I've just switched over to MuscleTech platinum iso-whey, peanut butter chocolate twist flavour
I'm so happy to have finally found a pp that has a strong peanut buttery flavour. All the other brands I've tried have been too subtle tasting.
In case you didn't notice, I'm a big fan of peanut butter flavoured anything 2 -

I like Bodylogix. Minimal ingredients, affordable. Get it on Amazon.0

Now unflavored protein isolate, 1 cup whole milk, 2 T Ovaltine.0
