Survey: What is your favorite protein drink/powder?
I still like the Unjury powders - especially the unflavored and the chocolate.

Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Ice Cream or French Vanilla Cream, or the Double Chocolate. I like Vanilla the most because I can add whatever I want to change it up.
Oh, this is Terry Ann's concoction but I LOVE it. Chocolate Protien Powder, 1/2 Frozen Banana (yes it has to be frozen, lol), 1 tsp. of cocoa powder, a little splenda and I use 8 oz of Soy Milk. Blend it up in the Magic Bullet.....it's my new absolute dream shake.

I usually buy mine at GNC but here is a good link you can order from: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html
They are having a good sale right now and shipping was pretty inexpensive when I ordered from them. I did order the sample pack, IMO it was a waste of money; can't tell you how many I tasted and poured out, yuck. I'm just a vanilla and chocolate girl though, add pudding, jello, fruit and I can make some good stuff, lol.
You may have this too Julie, but Eggface (Michelle) has some yummy recipes also: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/06/my-fa vorite-protein-shake-recipes.html

I think Unjury tastes the best. You can (or at least could) order sample packets to try out. Plus they have an unflavored one.
I usually just get the stuff that Walmart sells, though. It is cheaper and easily available. And it tastes ok. I will usually add stuff to make it taste better; like peanut butter, or PB2, to the choclate or berries to the vanilla. They also have a Cookies and Cream flavor that my husband loves. I personally think that one has an odd aftertaste to it.

This is what we use. I actually love it and I usually hate anything "protein". I can't remember the pricing but our Wal-Mart carries and it is very reasonable. They carry chocolate and vanilla all of the time and we can find the strawberry sometimes. I haven't tried the strawberry yet but I use the chocolate and vanilla regularly. I make it into a paste and then put it in my coffee. We also make an iced coffee with it. We take any left over coffee, add some instant coffee, and top it off with water or Mootopia. Add ice and shake. I let is sit for a few minutes so the coffee crystals can dissolve and shake again and drink. I LOVE that one!

Protein coffee!! I add a scoop of Any Whey every morning. It's unflavored and deisgned for hot or cold beverages and food. You can find it at GNC and Vitamin World, but it's much cheaper online.
