Protein Powder?

Hello friends,

I have been using the Premier Protein Shakes for my breakfast for about 2-1/2 years. I like the taste, but it upset my stomach a bit, so I switched to SirenLabs Whey Protein Isolate powder (GNC) which I love, but it is soooooo expensive! ($52.00 for 2.1 lbs., 20 grams of protein, 100 calories per serving, but I would rather find something cheaper with 30 or more grams of protein). I like vanilla. Can anyone recommend a cheaper protein powder that meets sleeve requirements and taste decent? (I did a site search, but some of the information was a few years old and not sure if there are new offerings out there). Thank you! 

Taste is subjective, but I have been drinking Gold Standard protein drinks.  They offer it in 2 lb and 5 lb cans.  All I can say is, if you get a 5 lb can, you had better like it.  I bought a few of the 2 lb cans off Amazon to make sure I was going to like a particular flavor, and then got a 5 lb can of their extreme milk chocolate.  I am drinking it less and less, but I don't see it going away completely any time soon.  It is good for right after exercising, and also if I didn't meet my protein goals for the day.  

Thank you! I will check it out! (I am sure I will have to try several before I find the right one, which is okay).  I will start out with the smaller size.

Same brand different formulations.  One is Gold Standard the other is Isolate.  I will try them both!

Just realized that you and Kairk recommended the same product.  Great Minds Think Alike!!! 

I am not sure what the difference might be unless they are packaging it for Costco.  I guess I need to go check some labels. 

This stuff is pretty good and it is currently on sale at Costco for $34.99 (or it was last weekend). It's not what I use, but I am considering switching.

Yes!  That is more like it!  I can get twice as much for the price and more protein as well!  Thank you for your suggestion.  It is definately worth a trying out.

right now vitacost.com you can get 4lbs for $50 (OPTIMUM50), but they have flavors like chocolate malt, chocolate mint, cookies & cream, etc.  I got birthday cake and cake doughnut.

I use the white chocolate everyday in my coffee, after it cooled a bit.

Thank you! I would probably LOVE the birthday cake and cake doughnut!  Which is your favorite?  (My coffee is more important to me than any other drink/food.  The chocholate is a nice touch!)
