What kind (source, brand) do you use- and would you recommend it?

I am hoping a protein supplement will help me meet my daily protein, but I have never bought any before and don't have any friends/relatives who use it that I could ask.

Any recs/advice??

    Unjury has awesome flavor, mostly available online, but some grocery stores are starting to carry it.

    available at unjury.com

    they also have a chicken soup flavor that is WONDERFUL!!

    It has 20 grams of protein vs 10-15 which alot of the protein flavors come in.

    Trader Joe has a great one too that has 18 grams of protein.

    Good luck on your search!!

    Chicken soup?? I didn't even know that was a flavor. Do you mix it in with food (or, soup?)

    We're a bit limited in Turkey as to what we can choose from, as shipping is ridiculously expensive. We buy Ultimate Nutrition, chocolate creme flavour, and I love it! Have it with water after a workout and mixed with oats for breakfast. Love it.

    optimum nutrition

    muscle milk tastes great but it pricey.

    series 7 protein / oats is good stuff.



    shop anywhere but GNC.

    I use Eas vanilla protein powder. I like it, although to be honest, it's the only stuff I've ever tried so I'm interested in other brands people use. :)

    Thanks for the tip- I didn't think about mixing it with oats!

    They usually mark up their items 20-40%, if you join their gold card, you get a discount..but you still end up paying MORE then you would shopping online.

    They also work on comission, and get told to sell certain products, so a lot of the time they'll recommend garbage, or pretend they know what something does...when really, they don't.

    There's site with supplement deals online that are worth checkin out. Sometimes save 50-80%.

    Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard gets my vote hands down. In my humble opinion it's the best tasting product available. More importantly it mixes easier than any of the others I've tried. Additionally, it's pricing is pretty average. I do get mine from GNC quite often.

    I didn't realize that- I guess I don't shop there very often. I was actually going to browse there this afternoon, but I think I'll try the internet instead. Do you know what the discount site is called?

    you can find some good stuff on regular online shopping sites like amazon. I got oxy elite pro on amazon for $30 less than at GNC
