What's your favorite protein powder?

Protein Shakes.  Check out Nashua Nutrition.  The site isn't the best but they offer dozens of powders in a sample size.  I tried about 24!  I'm a big "combo" maker.  Currently, my fav is 1/2 scoop of Syntrax Matrix Peanut Butter Cookie, with 1/2 scoop of Isopure Chocolate, two tablespoons of Torani Sugar Free Salted Caramel Syrup.  I make this either with 8 ozs of Almond Milk or 4 oz of 1% Milk and 4oz of water.  Shake it up.  Then add about four to six ice cubes.  Shake again. 

Other Combos:

Banana Cream and Chocolate

Banana Cream and Peanut Butter

Premier RTD Strawberry with Isopure Chocolate. 

Cinnamon Bun and Banana Cream or Peanut Butter

 My other combo "go to" is frozen cherries (about 10 or 12), 8 ozs of some type of fluid (almond milk, milk/water), Scoop of Isopure Vanilla, and 2 tablespoons of Sugar Free Torani Syrup Black Cherry.  This tastes just like a Cherry Milkshake... I've even put in the freezer for a bit... not too long... so it would thicken up.  

Other shake favorites:  Metabolic's Butter Pecan Cookie.  Syntrax's Mint Chocolate, Quest's Salted Caramel - tho it is VERY sweet. 

Do a bit of experimentation.  Try the flavors and be creative with the combos.  I found the samples helpful because it wasn't a big commitment.  Although... that initial order was pretty daunting.  LOL

 

Good Luck.

Quest Vanilla Milkshake Powder is my favorite.  They sell them in single serving packets at GNC if you want to try them.  You can also get them directly from Quest Nutrition on their website.

Thanks! I will try to find a packet of that to try. I wish they all came in single serve packets to try first, before plopping down the big bucks on a canister.

You can return to GNC if you dunt like it.  I bought the Quest cookies and cream canister and didn't care for the texture.  Returned it and got the unflavored.

As far as powdered drinks go, I like the Quest Salted Caramel best.  However, so many people don't like that it's VERY difficult to blend... but I'm a weirdo (goes without saying)... I like it clumpy!  It's kinda like eating/drinking cake batter - yum!!  But that's just me... most people do NOT like that part.

I don't think I've ever noticed it not blending well, but I'm weird and I don't like my shakes as icy shakes.  I use cold almond milk but no ice.  I have the Vanilla Milkshake and the Banana Cream and I like them both.

I  have the Quest Vanilla, too - it blends much better than the Salted Caramel... sometimes I mix them half and half and add in some PB2.  I also don't use ice, just Cashew Milk and a just a shaker bottle.  If I let it sit for about an hour, it gets pretty smooth... but I don't.  Gimme clumpies any day!

My surgeon designed his own line of protein shakes, and he sells them all in sample size, I think they're pretty good.  Chocolate Decadence is my favorite, but this link will give you a sample of all the flavors to try for yourself for $5 with free shipping:

The profits go to the Children's Obesity Foundation, too.
