Ok this is going to sound silly.. But I have a $25 credit from Vitamin Shoppe I want to use before it expires next week. I usually buy Isopure (I really like the taste of their proteins) I also really really like the protein that Tyger suggest Gold Standard, but Vitamin Shoppe doesn't sell it.

Isopure only comes in 3 pound JUGS! I want to try something new. In a chocolate or chocolate peanut butter flavor. I know everyone's taste is different.

But any suggestions for a yummy protein about 210 calories for 2 scoops equaling about 50 proteins? And comes in a slightly more managable size than 3 pounds?

Dymatize Elite comes in 2# jugs -- still a lot of protein powder, but Vitamin Shoppe will let you return it if you don't like it.  I make the Mocha flavor (or whatever they call the coffee flavor) with unsweetened soymilk and lots of ice in a Magic Bullet, and I can almost convince myself that it's a Starbucks Frappuccino.  Protein = 24g/scoop, calories = about 120/scoop.

When I want it to taste more chocolatey, I use unsweetened chocolate soymilk in it.

Dymatize is the only protein powder I've found so far that I don't loathe.  As an added bonus, it is cheaper than a lot of the other ones that Vitamin Shoppe sells.

Dymatize has a chocolate flavor but I haven't tried it.

I have sugar free hershey's syrup too! So the mocha and that will be yummy too. Plus I have peanut butter powder too.

Ok I think I am gonna try that one. And Kathy's suggestion too.

I can't use them so I am no help. Wait a sec... the have the robb something shakes. It has stevia in it and they have the spirotein shakes too. The Spirotein has some sugar in it but it's under the dumping leval for me. The ones I have tried are yummy. Most shakes I have tried make me want to hurl from smell alone.

Thank you Kathy I will have to check the grams of sugar.. I swear my body knows when I hit 5 grams!

The one with Stevia is by Jay Robb. I had the orange one and it's great. Too pricey for me since I am not a big shake drinker but they are really good. I swore shakes off for the most part once I got off the liquid stage. The Spiruteins that I have are 7 to 12 grams of sugar depending on flavor.

I have heard that the BSN Lean dessert shakes are really good. I am thinking of going to try the banana nut one this weekend as well. I am pretty sure vitamin shoppe sells them but not 100%.

Since Vitamin Shoppe will let me return if I don't like it, I should just pick a few different ones and return the ones that are icky.. But banana nut sounds yummy.

The only Isopure I have tried is the pre-made fruity flavor drinks and i hated them unless they were very very cold over lots of ice.  Is the powder fruit flavor or chocolate?  I am in need of some new protein flavors, getting sick of the ones I have now...

 I've also tried the Isopure pre-made drink and although I liked it when I first tried it, I find that I'm avoiding it now.  I'm post-op about 4 days and am finding it a challenge to meet my protein intake needs.  I stocked up on a bunch of different powders all in fruit, chocolate or vanilla flavors, and now I'm already sick of them.  I'll get some unflavored powder so I can mix it in with anything which will help me make sure I get enough protein.  I got Nectar in fuzzy navel and cherry something and at Costco, found a really big bag of EAS powder in vanilla.  All are pretty good.  Have you used Unjury?  I have 2 containers of ordered and curious to know how it is.

I keep craving a big, juicy hamburger.  The kind you'd get at a greasy spoon diner where all the locals go.  But alas, it's but a fond dream.  And I'm down 15 pounds from pre and post op diets, so I can put the image of the HB aside and bask in my success.
