Looking for some suggestions for good tasting protein powders and where to get them. Unfortunately I don't have access to a Popeyes, Costco or SAMs. I can order online but shipping is expensive and I'm always so nervous that I will buy a large tub and not like it. Thanks!

If you have a GNC or Nutritionhouse nearby, you can always ask them if they do samples, or if they have a return policy.  It's been a while, so I am not sure.  If you have milk problems, Webber has a Mango Peach that I have gotten at Shoppers.  I liked it.

I went to Walmart and they have a brand called Pure Protein and I didn't mind the chocolate, it tasted like chocolate milk but a bit sweeter. I usually love the flavour of Vanilla but with protein shakes it has been an absolute NO GO !! so far I have tried several types of whey isolate protein powder and ready to drink protein shakes and this is the only one I have liked so far. I will keep you updated if I find more I like :-) Good-Luck :-)

I order from Costco online and its free shipping.  I got a costco card for that reason.  I buy the DynaWhey protein powder.  Cappuccino,  vanilla-orange, and strawberry-kiwi, love them as they are powder that mixes easily not chalky and travel well.   AND FREE SHIPPING lol

Mybariatricpantry.com allows you to order samples of several different brands of protein. Using those allowed me to find several flavored I really like.

Isoflex is my favourite powder and I get it at GNC.  The Dyna Whey ones are good too that Patm gave you the link to. I like the cappuccino one, the chocolate peanut butter and the chocolate banana of theirs. I didn't like the strawberry kiwi at all.  Best to order the free sample packs at first and pay the shipping so you can try out as many flavours as they have available for free and then order enough to get free shipping if you like it.
