what type of protein shakes or whey protein do you find the best?

I use the gnc whey protein, but I think I'd like to try something else, either a step up from the basic or something sugar free? What do you recommend?

My requirements were:

• Whey Protein Isolate, not concentrate. Concentrate is in cheaper protein shakes, but it has lactose in it.
• Sugar free
• Dissolves well (not gritty)
• Decent taste

Syntrax Nectar ha**** the mark for me. But everyone's tastes are different, so try ordering a sample pack (Nashua Nutrition offers them) and see what you like.

I have used Syntrax Matrix and Unjury almost exclusively for 11 months. I like both!

Unjury is the only protein powder that I'll use.  They certify that they don't import their whey protein isolate from China so it's guaranteed to be lead and arsenic free.  And I love the taste of the Chocolate Splendor and Chicken Soup flavors.  

My husband uses Syntrax Nectars and uses the cookie-flavored one.  

I use protein made by BPI Sports and Cellucor. You can get both at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. I try all my new flavors from GNC because they allow you to return opened powder if you don't like it. 

My favorite from the get go has been Optimum Nutrition Double Rich Chocolate.  Nashua sells samples of it.  

I love my Chike!  I think it is important to have something that you enjoy and isn't loaded w/ calories.  You definitely do not need protein shakes long term, but I have really enjoyed having them for breakfast  -- it is a great way to easily start the day off w/ a protein bang!

I love my chike too! 

I had a very difficult time finding a protein shake my body would tolerate after surgery.

My favorite is Pure Protein. The RTD bottles are 23grams of protein, low cal and low carb. They also have a can version which I believe is 32 grams of protein, higher calories though. I like both, and enjoy using them as "cream" in my coffee (vanilla, cookies & crème, chocolate).

I love the Syntrax Nectars.  I like the Cappuccino flavor over ice.
