Looking to get some sort of chocolate protein powder simply to recover after heavy workouts and to sometimes act as a replacement meal... any input on which is the best to go for, considering I prefer to avoid too much sugar/artificial sweeteners ?

    Kinetica is a good one, tastes considerably better than some other brands too, although I believe it's Irish so it may or may not be available in the UK. The PHD whey and Optimum Nutrition Whey is also very good and taste okay :)

    Reflex has one of, if not the best protein profiles. Phd does have more carbohydrates than Reflex, Reflex's instant whey is 80%!

    Echo Supplements do great deals on Reflex and it tastes great too, they do choc mint that tastes like an Aero!

    Thanks, I will look into those.
    Basically looking for something fairly high in protein and not too high in calories as I plan on mixing it in with greek yoghurt as well as blending with it.

    I use Sci-MX they used to be USN.

    Their shake comes in chocolate and strawberry flavour. It's probably one of the few ones I enjoy and look forward too.
    It has egg whites which makes the shake creamy without adding milk. I don't feel like I'm on diet then as it tastes like a naughty shake.

    I must admit it's slightly powdery as with all shakes but a lot less powdery than many others that I've tried.

    I find mixing it using a blender bottle with a grid inside (not sure what it's called) or the ones with a little metal spring works best.

    Plus to add the powder to the water and not the other way around. :-)

    Best of luck x
