what’s a good kind of protein powder for a shake??

One that tastes good that mixes well. I dislike the texture and taste of most plant based proteins, prefer whey.

I don't like protein shakes though, and prefer protein from other sources - if I use powder, it's in yoghurt or in baking (pancakes, cake, breads etc)

I just received a sample order of IdealLean. I am super happy with the flavor! It came with Chocolate Brownie and Cake Batter and two same of their BCAA's. It also came with a shaker bottle and ebook
It is sweet. So if you have a sweet tooth, it has been very satisfying the last two nights. I have an order of a tub of Chocolate Brownie on it's way. Yesterday I made a meal replacement smoothie with one packet, and tonight I made a "Frosty" for dessert from the cake batter.
Its "formulated" for women. Basically its marketed for women and is in a pretty container. I didn't mind that.
80 calories Per scoop.
20 Grams protein.
A recovery blend
No sugar. They do use sucralose....

I also like Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard in Chocolate. Its not as super chocolaty as the IdealLean though.
Amazon has that one for a good price..

I like PEScience. I've tried their Snicker doodle(really good), peanut butter cookie (pretty good), and chocolate (meh). Quest is good too, especially the salted caramel, but it costs more.

I have the Vega all-in-one and Iso Surge. I prefer the taste of the Iso Surge over the Vega, but the Vega has added vitamins and such.

I use a pea protein one as I’ve found whey protein upsets my belly

My favorite brand is muscle tech, flavor wise though strawberry is where it's at.

I love the taste of BSN Syntha-6 bit it does pack a lot of calories. I switched to BSN Syntha-6 Edge to save a few calories and it tastes good also. It mixes easily and still tastes good if mixed with water vs. milk.

I switched to MyProtein from ON a while back. Labdoor graded, direct-to-consumer model, they're always running sales, and you can get whey concentrate for a cheap as ~$5/lb if you catch a sale and buy the big 11lb bag. They have a wide range of flavors, as well as isolate, casein, and other protein blends in addition to other supplements and a clothing line.

Haha this almost sounds like an add, but I actually agree.

OP check labdoor.com they test and rank protein powders based on quality and an value.

I didn't think of it when typing it out but reading back through it does sound like it. Was just trying to lay out all the pertinent facts, not a paid spokesperson, just really like their products.

I need helpppppo!!!

Personally I love Iso Pure Zero Carb because it has 210 cals and 50 grams of protein per serving. Plus it's good when mixed with sugar-free instant Jello pudding powder, plain or in oats.

Depends what your goals are though. Most proteins have about 25 grams of protein per serving, but I have to hit 150 grams x day so I tend to look for the blend with the highest serving of protein and lowest amount of cals.

Over the years, I tried a few protein powders and ended up wasting them. I didn't like the taste of any of them. Last year I bought Bluebonnet Whey Protein Isolate for the first time. It's the only one so far that I've liked. I got it in chocolate. Next time I might try it w/o a flavor. The chocolate uses stevia and I'm not a fan of the taste that brings. Overall though, this is by far my fav one I've tried for a shake, and it makes a delicious protein cheesecake. (The other flavors in that drown out the stevia pretty well.)

I also like this one bc it mixes extremely well with cold liquid, no need to use a blender.

I bought it at Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Bluebonnet-Nutrition-Natural-Protein-Chocolate/dp/B0025PZQ0M/ref=pd_bxgy_121_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0025PZQ0M&pd_rd_r=AVBCGQRRZSXXZSZ1319P&pd_rd_w=HETdS&pd_rd_wg=0QVX7&psc=1&refRID=AVBCGQRRZSXXZSZ1319P
