    My husband is a body builder and he drinks the Six Star protein from Walmart. He says it tastes great and it usually comes on sale for about $15 for a two pound container. I think it has pretty good reviews for a lower end protein supplement. Some of those proteins in the health food stores are so expensive!

    I'm very picky especially with taste. I use Optinum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein in extreme milk chocolate. I love that stuff! Drink it several times a day! I wait til its on sale and gold card week at GNC and stock up, just got more yesterday!

    Optimum nutrition 100% whey chocolate chocolate is what I. It's about $50 for a 5 lbs tub. It taste great with milk (skim or 2
    %), the best is adding some peanut butter to it in a blender and having chocolate peanut butter milk. Yum

    I use the GNC AMP Wheybolic 60 stuff in Chocolate. Very tasty, but definitely on the expensive side (in my opinion). Might have to try some of these other suggestions!

    Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard - $25 at Vitamin Shoppe, lasts me about a month (1 scoop/day). Love the flavors - not gritty, mixes well with everything. It's all natural as well if that's important to you.

    The last time I ran out (I was using Designer Whey) I pick up some at Wal-Mart. It's actually pretty good and it was only about $15. It's Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein. I got vanilla flavor.

    I used to get EAS at Sams, $33 for 5lbs. It was pretty good. Then they stopped selling it so I got Muscle Tech $30 for 5lbs. It's is NO good. Next I'm trying Body Fortress from Walmart, $22 for 2lbs.

    I use it also, but in cookies and cream. It is delicious, but I agree, expensive.

    Market pantry chocolate whey from Target. Ingredients look like the others and tastes like chocolate milk. It doesn't have the funky protein powder aftertaste at all.

    I used to use to drink muscle milk, but I stopped because I wanted something with more protein to calories. I like the body fortress products at walmart. The regular protein is about $15 for 2 lbs and isn't bad, but has a fair amount of cholesterol. Right now I have the body fortress whey isolate. I like it better. It's around $22

    I buy Muscle Milk Light Vanilla Creme Protein Powder. I order it from Amazon, and have it shipped automatically. It's about $18 for a HUGE container (1.65 pound). I have it set to ship every 6 months.

    I have been drinking Mike's Mix. It is fantastic!! They are a small company and because they don't have all the marketing and overhead costs they sell it at a reasonable price. All the reviews I read (before using it myself) were great too. Just go to mikesmixrecoverydrink.com it has LOTS of information. Best of luck.
