Looking for some recommendations on your favorite protein powders. I find they generally have a very unpleasant taste to them, especially in the vanilla flavors. I'm up between some of the Quest flavors (cookies and cream, strawberry, etc) and the FitMiss (even the vanilla chai sounds appealing thanks to the "chai" bit).

I have a GNC locally and a locally-owned supplement store and between the two carry a good variety of brands.

TIA :)

    I like GNC Amped in natural vanilla. There is a natural vanilla and one that isn't marked natural. The natural is much better. I mix it with blended frozen fruit so any funny taste is masked.

    The Pure Protein (Rich Chocolate) has been my favorite from the ones I've tried, especially with taste!

    Yes, and it's also on Amazon if you have Prime. :)

    I love Fitmiss. I also like Body Armor (Choc PB! They have a ton of other flavors I want to try). If you like coffee Click Mocha.

    Quest Salted Caramel is my all-time favorite. Trutein Pumpkin Pie is probably my second (it makes amazing protein pancakes).

    Check calorie counts on some of them. They can get ridiculous. I prefer the most protein "bang" for my calorie "buck."

    If flavor is a factor, this gets my vote, hands down --

    At gnc I buy dymatize casein powder. Both the vanilla and chocolate are really good imo, but I'm partial to the chocolate.

    I really like PMD Amplify XL from my GNC store in the "double chocolate explosion" flavor. It tastes pretty much like a chocolate shake. It's good on its own with water, and I also really like to mix it in with some plain oatmeal for my morning breakfast (add a banana for extra goodness).

    It's 140 calories per scoop (I use half a scoop with one packet of oatmeal), 7g of carbs, 25g of protein (!), only 2g of sugar, and is just all around awesome.
