what is your favorite protein supplement?

I like the Isopure zero carb vanilla protein powder; one scoop is 25 grams of whey protein isolate and 105 calories. I still put 1/2 a scoop in my yogurt. Isopure also makes a RTD clear whey protein drink with different fruit flavors. The smell isn't fabulous, the taste is a little better than it smells, but one bottle is 40 gr of good quality whey protein isolate. I drank those when I got sick of "milky" protein drinks. 

A lot of people here like the Syntrax and Syntrax necter powders as well as the Unjury. 

I can find both types of Isopure at Viamin Shoppe. I never liked the Syntrax, so I never looked for it. ( I was able to buy samples at a nutrition store next to my surgeon's office. ) 

I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

I don't like any of them, but I use Isopure unflavored and Syntrax wild grape. I just hold my nose and get them down. Gotta do what we gotta do. I'll be glad when I can eat all my protein instead of needing supplements.

You can mix the syntrax with crystal light, though you have to drink more of it when it's watered down. I have good luck with the fuzzy navel nectar and orange crystal light, especially when I put it in a bottle with a straw!

Fuzzy navel is actually on my list when I get through this grape stuff. Thanks for the tip, Julie!

Have you picked up a sample pack yet? You can buy an assortment of single-serve packets, that way you're not stuck with a huge tub of something you don't like.

The grape that I have are the single serving packets. I'm drinking on one now. I think I'll toss some crystal light in it. And I have that bookmarked - will order some.

Try grape with lemonade crystal light. Weird, but it works!

I like the stuff from Trader Joe's, they have a vanilla whey powder that I mixed into Greek yogurt and SF pudding.
