Which brands have the highest protein per serving? What flavors taste best? Are protein shakes worth it?
I do strength training about 4x a week 20-30 minutes at a time.
With what I'm eating now, I don't usually meet my protein needs without going over my calories/fat.

    I use protein shakes on the days I don't meet my protein needs. I use Jillian Michael's Whey Protein. It's not super high in protein, only 15g per scoop, I believe, but it tastes good. I'm not able to do soy because of the estrogenic properties. I'm very sensitive to estrogen, and it wreaks havoc on my liver.

    I'm still researching what is best but I use Body Fortress. You can get it at Meijer and Kroger. Has some sucralose which I don't like but its low in carbs and 30g protein per scoop. I have the vanilla Creme and its ok with water but better with skim milk. I'll be trying it with almond milk later today.

    I am pretty happy with Trader Joe's Protein Powder mix. I buy the chocolate and typically mix it w/ cold water. If I need more fuel I'll mix it w/ skim milk.

    I use the BSN Lean Dessert Protein powder. I mix it with almond milk and I LOVE it. I get the whipped vanilla, but they have lots of flavors. I suggest looking at that line! :)

    Trutein has the best flavors and it's a great combo of egg, casein, and whey protein. the Cinnabun flavor is unreal, like eating a real cinnamon bun!

    I love GNC ISO Burst - almost 22g of protein per scoop, dissolves well and tastes great especially the chocolate and also the Raspberry Swirl one.

    I use the Jillian Michaels Whey protein also. It doesn't have the most protein (15g/scoop), but it tastes great!

    Ryn,

    This one will run and run, but for highest protein/lowest carb/easiest mix/decent taste I think you'll find Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard is the best. I like the double rich chocolate, mixed with 1/2 almond milk and water.

    This is an Amazon link for what I get, but I'm not affiliated with either Amazon or OM, I just use 'em.

    There's a lot of total phooey out there, and some are very expensive indeed.
