    Optimum Nutrition - Vanilla - cheap and good with bananas and strawberries.
    I also use ON Aftermax - Vanilla - after workouts.

    Xtreme Formulations have the best tasting and highest quality products, IMO

    I don't use these very often, but I have used the Pure Protein Whey Protein. I mixed it with water or soy milk for a lower calorie protein drink. I have used different brands but have always used the whey protein.
    I just drank it once a day, after my morning workout.

    I use Shakeology. Only 150 calories and as far as the nutrition, it is the best one.

    I also use Shakeology! It is much more than a Protein drink though.

    I've used Inner Armour and Intek. Love them both. I use it frequently for making my own protein bars, cakes, etc. I also use Visalus because I get enough protein in my regular foods and it's low in calorie (90 calories), low sugar, low sodium, low carb and the protein make up makes for better absorption without the bloating some protein powders create.

    I use the Jay Robb protein. It is sweetened with stevia, so it can be pretty sweet. I normally just blend it with 1/4 frozen pineapple and 1/4 c. plain greek yogurt and water. It ends up around 230 cal. and 30 g. of protein and maybe 7g carbs. Tastes pretty good and keeps you full for a while.

    The EAS whey protein tastes pretty good too. I can just mix that with water and drink.

    How often do you use these shakes? Once a day? Twice?

    At least once daily, and as often as 2x a day for my drink but I also make snacks/protein bars as snacks with the protein powder in it.

    I use Pure Isolated & Concentrated Milk Protein- Chocolate from the makers of Muscle Milk (from Costco). I don't make a shake out if it, though, I use 1 scoop and add to 1 container of plain greek yogurt (6 oz.) and 1 tbsp of creamy peanut butter. Use the mixer and mix it up. Super yummy & filling. Totals to 320 calories and I have it once a day to once every other day.

    I use ISOFUEL 100. Low calories, zero carbs, 24 g of protein per scoop. The cookies and cream and gourmet chocolate are delicious.

    Not usually a fan of protein shakes, but Biometrics Berries and Whey is delicious! It's one of the only ones I can mix with water and drink as-is. It's also super yummy mixed with a banana and a tablespoon of almond butter. :)

    I can't help but think your a little misguided here. A protein shake isn't something that's going to assist in your weight loss necessarily. If you had 400 calories to consume, drinking those calories is going to provide you much less satiety than if you had eaten them, especially if we're talking about protein specifically. Consider using protein powders to supplement your diet where you are unable to get enough protein from whole food sources?

    If weight loss is your goal you should look to consume .8 - 1g protein and .35 - .4g of fat for every lb of body weight matched with a calorie restricted diet.

    EAS Carb Control in vanilla is my favorite. It's around 100 calories and has been instrumental in my weight loss. Also - it comes in ready-to-drink which I find very convenient.

    Ideal Shape Shake. I did all the research and it was rated Number One. It is delicious. I tasted all the others and bot ill. It is only 140 calories and it is only 49.99 for a month, unlike the others. No need for coaches as it is on FB. I had a question and it was answered within an hour. PLEASE you will love this product. They have vanilla and chocolate. It keeps you satisfied. I have tried all the others and none even come close
