Do you like or tolerate protein powders?

Those of you who use protein powders - Do you like the taste or do you tolerate it because of the health benefits. If you like them love them or hate them which ones do you recommend or would never buy again? Thanks for your responses.

    I think it may be an acquired taste. You kind of get used to them and they end up being somewhat delicious, especially when doctored up with milk or bananas or peanut butter or some combination thereof. Not all brands are equal in terms of flavor or quality.

    Um... it's kinda a toleration situation.

    We add it to our green smoothies...

    the one we use (right now) is a Raw Vegan protein powder... Raw Advantage (?) I'm pretty sure that's the name. Vanilla flavor. It's okay.

    Love. You need a good one, not generic grocery store ones.

    They all taste slightly different. If you're crafty enough you can learn to cook with them while not making cookies that turn out like bricks. I agree with the preferences of acg, all of those are in my opinion the best in stats and taste. If I'm in a pinch I'll make a shake but I prefer to actually eat something.

    At first, I was drinking protein powders because of the benefits but after I found the one I am currently on, I can honestly say I love it and would never switch to anything else... It's super tasty.. It's called Syntha6 in Vanilla Ice Cream..
