 Right now my favorite protein powders are Click mocha latte and Nectar Cappucino. I also like most brands of chocolate. I can't stand any vanilla protein which is funny because I love vanilla milkshakes.

Right now I am living off of samlpls.  But so far I like the Nectar Syntrak Pink Grape fruit and Fuzzy Navel.  I am also using Unjury Classic Chcolate,  I have the chicken soup not a big fan of it.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE About Time protein- it's the flippin bees knees of protein. 100cal for 25gm of 0sugar, 0carb, and artificial free pure deliciousness! Plus, it's got a fab amino profile and is all natural and blends so smoothly!

My favorite flavors are Birthday Cake, Cinnamon Swirl and Chocolate.

They have samples on their website, but I think you can find the tubs cheaper at sites like Netrition.

I was never a fan of protein shakes until I found this stuff, now I look forward to them! LOL!

 I loved protein shakes before surgery, but have a hard time with them now.  I love CLICK, its my morning go to shake if I dont have time to eat.  I also like the premixed Pure Protein Frosty shake.  They are thin and easy to drink.  They actually fill me up so they work as a really good snack when I am hungry, but its not time to eat.  Its also easy for me to grab one at work becuase I dont have much time to eat and usually have to eat and work at the same time. :)  
I am going to check out the ones at Netrition....sounds like the samples would be good to try!

Being new at this I have not experimented with the shakes.  While at Walmart today.  I remeber hearing about the Tosani sugar free syrups.  I found them and bought a chocolate one.  I came home mixed my Unjury Classic chocolate with the syrup.  OH MY it was like chocolate milk.  It was so good.

I have had a really hard time finding a protein shake that I like. I have tried a lot of different brands. Some I could tolerate but wasn't crazy about, some I couldn't even stand the smell, some made me gag and then I found GNC's RTD Total lean swiss chocolate flavor. I love it (as much as I can love a protein shake). These work for me because 1) I am lazy and 2) I am always in a hurry in the morning and it's easy to grab one and run out the door and 3) it's sometimes hard for me to eat anything substantial in the morning. I have also recently tried the Click Vanilla Latte. It was good. They had the samples buy 1 get 1 free. i will try the Mocha next. I also like the Big Train shakes but they have too many sugar alcohols and more carbs than I would like, but very tasty if you like coffee flavored drinks (and they are made with real coffee). As someone else mentioned, I don't care for any of the vanilla shakes I have tried (and I prefer vanilla over chocolate in other things). To me, it just has a funky whey taste. I tried the About Time and wasn't crazy about it. I despised the Isopure. I really like the Cytosport in the watermelon flavor, tastes like a jolly rancher but is very strong. I usually pour it over a glass of ice. Think I might have to go order some, haven't had them in a while and they are 20 oz and 40 grams of protein! Oh yeah (pun intended), almost forgot, the Banana flavored "OH YEAH" RTD shake is pretty good too when you want something different. Might have to order some of those too lol!!!

I LOVE Chike - Meal Replacement -- 180 calories, 28 grams of protein, and a portion of all your necessary vitamins in ONE DRINK!  I swear by this stuff!!!  Five flavors, and they offer a sample pack of all five -- iLikeChike.com

LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff!  I mix orange with chocolate, strawberry with orange, banana with all the other flavors, vanilla with freeze dried coffee, and just the five main flavors by themselves!

Syntrax Nectar chocolate truffle is my go to, Unjury chocolate is also good. I just got two samples of About Time and wasted the chocolate mint one Saturday by mixing it with water, I didn't have any skim milk. I don't know how anyone mixes protein powder with water, to me that just blows. But I still have the birthday cake one, I might try that tomorrow. I got a jug of Nectar cookies and cream and won't reorder it. It was really sweet and I just wasn't impressed.
