I am deeply saddened that EAS has discontinued their 100% Whey Protein Vanilla 130 cal 23g protein & replaced it with something else.

What are your protein powder recommendations?
I'm looking for whey protein 23-30g per serving, with no disgusting after taste, and no excessive foam when blended. If you know what ingredient to avoid so it doesn't get foamy that would be helpful. :flowerforyou:

I already tried Six Star Muscle Whey Protein+ Elite Series Vanilla Cream: 160 cal 30g protein.
Unfortunately, It has a horrible after taste, and is so foamy my straw floats.

    I use the GNC Lean Shake 25, the cookies and cream is yummy! But if you want just the protein powder, I know GNC has those too.

    Optimum Nutrition Platinum hydro whey is delicious, if a bit pricey.

    If you have a Costco near you, they sell a 6lb bag of Crytosport Whey, vanilla or chocolate. Good taste, little to no foam.

    Do you know the protein g & calories in them?

    Nutrilite carries a really good whey protein powder that provides 25-26 grams of whey protein, 150 calories per serving. There is lots of other awesome stuff. You can order online. Go to www.kcsa.mychoices.biz. Set yourself up with an account.

    No I dont work for this company but I will put the word out about it until I can't find it anymore.
    My husband was working out of town and found this at a store and we have been sold and hooked since.

    Look it up vs what you are using now. Hands down it is better.

    Cons: Price, and avaliability (But I will pay more for something that is better any day of the week)

    We have only tried the chocolate and are now having to get it shipped to us since there is not a local store that sells it. Again, I do not think you would be dissapointed. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this stuff.
    The taste alone is second to none.

    If you go to the store on bodybuilding.com you can search for protein based on calories and grams of protein. I like them MUCH better than dealing with GNC.

    :( Thanks, but It's not enough protein per serving for me & i want a protein shake, not a meal replacement.

    That looks like it would be 180 calories for 24 grams of protein. Not that great as a supplement.

    I like 4ever Fit fruit blast isolate. They taste really good, even if you carry it around in a water bottle and sip on it throughout the morning or afternoon, as I sometimes do. 100 calories, 21 grams protein per scoop.

    The nice thing about the protein powder I recommended above is that it's one of the easiest proteins for your body to absorb in that it doesn't have to process all the other stuff that a lot of protein powders contain.

    Also, please note, the serving size calls for three scoops. I usually take between 1-1.5 scoops after a workout. Calories then range from 93-140 for 20-30 grams of protein so it's not as bad. There's no after taste in the one I recommend - infact, this is the only protein powder I've found that I can actually take with water. But I've also added it to smoothies and that was really good too.

    I LOVE Intek Protein Evolution -- It's good even mixed with plain water (most others I have to mix with milk to choke down) and they have lots of flavors.

    160 calories & 34 grams of protein (per scoop, I use one at breakfast and usually 2 after workout)

    iron tek: whey proteinwith micellular casein. It's beneficial to have both types b/c the whey is quickly absorbed, meanwhile the micellular casein gives you a nice slow release type of protein as well. It's a bit more expensive though.

    Vitacost.com (and I'm sure quite a few other websites) still carries the EAS vanilla protein.
