    I also have some Jillian Michaels Chocolate protein powder that I am trying to use up but it tastes TERRIBLE. Not only does it barely taste like chocolate at all, the consistency when it is blended or shaken is like chocolate pudding and not in a good way.

    I love Jillian Michaels and have many of her DVD's but you are right her protein powder is AWFUL!! I threw mine away!!

    EAS Chocolate Soy Protein. I like it, although I haven't tried many others to compare.

    THERE ARE SO MANY BRANDS AND FLAVORS OUT THERE... WHAT'S YOUR FAVE?? AND YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO USE IT??

    Dymatize Elite Gourmet Whey/Casein Blend Protein (www.dymatize.com)
    Rich Vanilla Flavor
    Drink it straight.....or mix it up with water, then add to my oatmeal (use it like milk)
    Use it in cookies, or cakes, any kind of sweet baking. (which I don't normally do..but IF I do...)
    Ice, banana, scoop protein...maybe a little chocolate syrup...blend......chocolate banana shake
    Ice, scoop protein, chocolate syrup, 2 tbs Adam's All Natural Creamy Peanut Butter.............Peanut Butter Cup shake!

    OMG I'm so glad someone posted about this because I just started using protein powder and I love this one: Optimum Nutrition Performance Whey Chocolate Shake flavor!! I just shake it up in one of those shaker cups with 8oz of skim milk (additional protein) and it legitimately tastes like a chocolate shake. Soooooo good. 246 cals with the skim milk: 21g carbs, 4g fat, 30 protein. I use it as a meal replacer sometimes or if I have the extra cals at the end of the day and want something chocolate-y! :D

    Vanilla Designer Whey is my fav. Get it at Vitamin Shoppe.. I like it because its all natural so no gross chemicals/fillers/thickeners and it tastes good.

    I usually blend 1scoop with 1c. OJ and 1/2c. frozen blueberries. I also put in a scoop of greens for digestion :)

    Or if im feeling chocolatey I will blend 1 scoop with a 1c. skim milk, 1tbs of cocoa powder, some stevia to sweeten it up and 1 frozen banana.

    I have these for b-fast, they are about 300cals and they generally keep me full until lunch.

    I'm pretty picky and want specific things, like whey protein isolate, low carb, low sugar, low fat....
    I've tried jsut about everything on the market at some point -- these are my go=to

    Syntrax Chocolate Essence (i HATE syntrax nectra fruity flavors tho.. the latte and chocolate truffle aren't bad)
    TruProtein.com Chocolate Fudge (you can create your own blend, and choose the sweetener, additives - or add nothing
    Jay Robb Chocoalte or Pina Colada
    Isopure Natural Banana, Pineapple Orange
    AllMax Chocolate

    It's not the best stats, but if you like coffee -- CLICK all natural Mocha is divine. I usually get a jug of that and mix it right into a jug of chocolate -- make the shakes with almond milk, cold decaf coffee and its better than starbucks.

    I know a lot of people like them, but I have hated every single flavor of Gold Standard and Optimum Nutritition.

    I would never pay for something like Shakeology when you can make it yourself -- I often toss in a scoop of berry or chocolate flavortred greens/fiber blens and its a lot cheaper. I don't buy anything pre-mixed. EAS is a blend and I didn't like some things on the label, but in a pinch I'll buy Body Fortress at Walmart.

    Now Sports Whey Protein Isolate - Natural Unflavored

    The best part about it is that I can't tell it is there!! I mix it with greek yogurt, frozen berries, some cocoa powder, spinach, skim milk, and a little flavored sweetener. Mmmmmm.... I went from "I will NEVER drink a protein shake!!" to "Could I skip dinner and just have my shake?"

    I am on the Shape Kit from Visalus. I use 8 oz of almond milk or water and two scoops of the powder. I can flavor it with unsweetened cocoa powder if I want chocolate, add strawberries if I want the flavor... It is so yummy! Twice a day (breakfast and lunch). I get all my nutrition and build muscles. Great for muscle recovery too after a workout. Try it for 30 days. If you are not happy they give you back your money. Check out the ingredients. http://90daynow.myvi.net/Resource/DbFile/?f=Vi-Shape_Ingredients.pdf
