I use Body Fortress. You can find it at walmart or meijer... any of the big chain stores. It's pretty cheap, and doesn't have a really bad after taste. It's 26g of protein per scoop, and most shakes call for 2 scoops.... I have the Chocolate and the vanilla, and can make just about any shake I want to with just those two flavors. I know some people start out with just the vanilla, and then if they want chocolate, they will add some unsweetened cocoa powder to it.

Just a thought! Good luck!

I work at GNC so I tend to test the products here and there. I've tried the Pure Protein canned shakes... pretty tasty and each can contains about 35g of protein... I can't tell you how many carbs were in any of these though. My apologies in advance!

Lean muscle meal (vanilla) was one of my favorites. It came with 40 grams of protein as well.. too bad I got sick of the flavor so quickly. (not sure if all of these falls under the 'whey protein' category) the Lean muscle meal kept me fuller longer than the Pure Protein powder or ready-to-drink shakes.

Body Fortress (the kind from Wally-World that Rchup talked about) is my most recent buy. It sucks with water in my opinion, but mixes up really thick with milk.. and it tastes pretty great to be so cheap. With this I usually throw in a spoonful of cottage cheese, plain Greek yogurt.. and maybe some fruit if I have it on hand or coffee because.. well coffee is the ish! Guaranteed to keep you super stuffed!

I've also tried 100% whey protein (banana cream flavor and cookies and cream). A scoop had about 20 grams of protein and I really can't give my honest opinion on this one. I've only tried it once and can't remember how I really feel about it. ^__^;

The last thing on my list that I haven't tried... but will be trying once I catch it on sale is GNC Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60. It's supposedly the leanest protein that we have (so I was told by our supervisor) and a 3 scoop serving size (280 calories) offers 60 grams of protein.

I like optimum nutrition natural whey in chocolate and vanilla. Both are sweetened with very minimal amounts of evaporated cane juice so I dig it. There's also a stevia one, but I haven't tried it.

Spoon mixing ok, shaker mixing good, blend mixing great

I also like Banana Cream Nitro Tech Muscle Tech ...same mixing issue as above

and the fruity isopure flavors, which mix well in water (rare) and aren't so bad by spoon. I also like grabbing the bottles of fruity isopure, which are blended to perfection.

Body Fortress for this Girl. It's fine mixed with milk. Does the job.

I use Jay Robb, the vanilla whey protein powder. I love the taste. I actually look forward to it. I've mixed with milk, made smoothies and even just mixed with water. It's a bit more expensive than some but it's worth it for me because of the source of the protein (grain fed free range cattle w/o rBGH, the lack of extra additives, it uses stevia and it's 110 calories per scoop, no fat and 1 gm carbs with 25gms protein.
