OK...so, I am looking for a protein powder that is not at all gritty, that mixes easily and that is delicious.  So far, the only ones I have found that I like are RTD Chocolate Muscle Milk Light and Isopure Alpine Punch.  I am fine with sticking with those, but if I could find a less expensive option I would sure like that too...

So....grit free and tasty is my goal.

I couldn't find one, didn't care for the grit and flavor and the mixing process that left glops of powder. I just drink pre-mix, tastes like chocolate milk and for $1-$1.50 per meal, that's fine with me. Grab and go :)

It works if you work it; it sorta works if you sorta work it; and it doesn't work if you don't work it.

EAS AdvantEdge, and the Myoplex Lite I think it has 20g protein
I drink chocolate. Wife drinks vanilla. We get them at Target.

We are drinking fewer these days, not like right after surgery. Maybe one for me every day or two, after working out.

It's not cheap, but hands down the GNC Wheybolic Extreme 60 has been the best for easy mixing that I have found.  I mix it in a shaker bottle and add some ice cubes and it is quite delicious.  I combine it with 1 scoop of click mocha...2 when I'm needing an extra dose of expresso :). I've been able to find it a little cheaper on Amazon, but only by a few dollars.

I have notice a huge difference in the grit if I simply refrigerate my protein drinks for at least 30 min after I mix them.  I think it allows the dried protein to rehydrate more and tastes so much better.  I have tried several brands and the Unjury Classic Chocolate is the only brand/flavor I have bought a second container of.

I really like AST VP2 mixed with almond milk. Even double scoops in 8 oz of almond milk come out smooth in a blender bottle. You can find it on bodybuilding.com and nutrition.com I think. Double rich chocolate.

I like the Syntrax Matrix Cookies and cream and the mint cookie as well. Very tasty. I get in online at netrition.com or Advantagenutrition.com. I mix it in a blender bottle with Silk unsweetened almond milk.

If you have a Complete Nutrition in your area- they will mix samples. I use the vanilla bean and add to plain greek yogurt to get more protein in. I also make a shake using almond milk, scoop protein powder, vanilla, tbsp cocoa, ice cubes, and stevia- blend and it taste  like a Wendy's frosty. I had to play around with recipe until I came up with the perfect shake. Smart Smoothie is the only powder I like. I drank the Premier RTD for work and on the go. The smart smoothie goes along way. Complete Nutrition runs sales periodically buy one container get one 1/2 off. Good luck.
