I have a few personal faves, but wondering what everyone else loves?? Good to hear reviews before dropping 30 dollars on a new tub of something I've never tried :)

    You should try Nutrition53.com, they give out free samples of their Lean 1 Protein Shake, plus it has more vitamins and minerals than any other shake I've tried. The flavors are very good, especially the Cookies and Cream. I actually don't have to chug it!

    I have triend SOOOO many. I'm in love with the GNC Lean Body Swiss Chocolate right now. 25gms of protein in each shake and taste sooooo much better than Isopure!

    I do love the Isopure Grape Frost Drinks though too, 40gms in those.

    I like Jillian Michaels' Natural Whey Pure Protein- I don't care how good it is for you, if I have to "gag" it down, I am not going to keep it up......
    The thing that made me try this was
    I can only ingest Stevia and it seems so many others use aspartame or sucralose as sweeteners.

    I like the GNC Amplified Wheybolic in chocolate. The guy talked be into banana last time and I think it tastes gross. So here I sit with a giant tub of banana flavor.

    I was using Opimum Nutrition cookies and cream and loved it. I found after about 2 months it was upsetting my tummy so I do not use it anymore.

    Order through amazon.com - if you click subscribe and save, you get a 15 percent discount and free shipping. After you get your oder you can cancel the subscription. I keep mine on every 2 months but ive had to cancel one before because i didnt like it. BEst prices i've found when doing it this way.

    I use ON 100% whey in double chocolate. I also just ordered the 100 calorie designey whey in strawberry. I know a lot of people dont like strawberry but i do :)

    Whole Foods 365 Brand Vanilla. Regardless of the type you buy, that is the only flavor that you need. Many of the pre-flavored powders have added sugar.

    If you want other flavor profiles, just play with your ingredients. Want chocolate, add unsweetened cocoa powder. Want fruit or citrus, use juice/nectar or the specific fruit you want in your smoothie. Want peanut butter, add peanut butter.

    I have tried many brands. I personally stick with Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard Whey, simply because its the best bang for my buck.

    My husband has issues with most whey proteins so I ended up using up his "leftovers" because I sure as heck wasn't going to throw them out. So I've tried quite a few. I'd say GNC's whey protein isolate (not the most expensive one but the one down from that) is the best one I've tried so far. And now I'm trying Dymatize Elite Gourmet Vanilla (which I buy from the Vitamin Shoppe), which goes nicely into coffee (with a shaker) or strawberry-blueberry shakes. It's good too.

    I think you'd like Beverly International Ultimate Muscle Protein.. it's not whey though. :-/
    My fiance uses Dymatize and sometimes I sneak his for a change, it's good!

    either way, the website Netrition.com is the BEST for ordering anything fitness/nutrition related!

    Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard

    Yep! Me too! Hi purity, dissolves nicely. Tastes fine.

    I like their cassein too, which requires a blender to make smooth (add a bit extra water too) for the same reasons. I know cassein is controversial but the only study I ever saw that said it was bad was on cats that ate ONLY cassein for protein. That's just stupid.

    So for workouts pre and post, their whey, for feeling full and when rapid absorption is not an issue, I use the later.

    I also feel there is really so little difference, so long as they are of relative purity, I often buy whatever is on clearance and save a tonne of money.

    We use Body Fortress Whey Protein from Wal Mart. I like the vanilla but everyone else likes the chocolate. It's less expensive than the kind from GNC and my husband swears it works better for building muscle.

    I use Optimum Nutrition powders (100% Gold Standard and Nitrocore 24) for 2 good reasons. It's very reasonable in price and it's manufactured in the US and they use their OWN raw materials that they gathered and not bought from places like China where there is no regulations on some of the raw materials being shipped to the US. Many protein powders raw materials come from sources outside the US and they just mix them in with their own formula.

    I really like the GNC amp 60 whey proteins chocolate and vanilla are my favorite...it dissolves well and taste great and 60g of protein if you use 3 scoops per serving, I use less though.
