What is your favorite protein shake powder? I was using Isagenix and really like it, but it's pretty pricey. Looking for something a little cheaper but still tastes good. I have one now but I really don't like it...any flavor of it :neutral:

    I like Trutein and Quest - - both let you purchase samples on their site before you buy a larger container.

    I like the Naturade Vegan Pea Protein powder. I'm not vegan, I just had trouble digesting the whey and didn't like the taste of it.

    Jym Chocolate Cookie Crunch is quite tasty (160 cal/24g if memory serves)(for comparison, fish has a better ratio but is more expensive). Bodybuilding.com has reviews and ratings specifically for taste for specific flavors of various brands. ETA: they also allow you to filter by grams protein and/or calories per serving.

    I use muscle pharm combat powder. It has 25g per scoop and average amount of sugar. I like the vanilla I mix it with greek yogurt and it taste like vanilla pudding. It doesn't bloat me like some others I've tried. It is hard for me to drink it with water, so I drink it with milk.

    I'm simple. I started cheap with Wal-Mart's Body Fortress. Eventually, and I don't recall why, I wanted to try using a vegan-style protein powder. I searched online and found the ingredient list for MRM Veggie Protein, which was just basically powdered good stuff. It's not particularly cheap. The first time I tasted it, the 'chocolate' of MRM was so different from the "chocolate" of Body Fortress, to which I had been accustomed, that I perceived the MRM to be very unpleasant. One of my friends advised that I mix it with vanilla unsweetened almondmilk. That did make it palatable. After a few days of regular use, my taste expectations had adjusted and now I find the MRM in water to be quite pleasant.

    When I began this phase of my weight loss effort, which had proceeded in fits and starts but mostly stops since 1/1/2000, the ancient tub of Body Fortress in my pantry tasted just like the new tub I bought a few weeks later. That might not be a good sign.
