Hey all. I have been using a certain protein with my coffee every morning, and recently the calories and carbs have changed! Thank goodness I looked before buying because I am am trying to get back on track (I go up and down about 10 lbs and currently at a high point) and don't need the extra carbs. Can someone please recommend their favorite chocolate protein powder (preferably one that mixes well with coffee)? I have seen people say they can get samples before buying but haven't been successful in finding that thread...  Thanks for your reply!

I get GNC Maxx Protein Powder - it comes in Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry and Mocha -- they will give you samples at the store -- it is low calorie and low carb and high protein -- I usually see 30% discount coupons in our local "pennysaver".  

I think Nashua Nutrition is the best site for getting samples of several brands -- Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate, Chike, Click, Syntrax, etc.   Also, have you tried PB2?  You can find it in supermarkets now.  And Amazon sells small bottles of Davinci and Torini sugar-free syrups.  Have you checked out Eggface's site?  She has lots of recipes for protein shakes.

Any chance you know a source for getting ON samples? I haven't had any luck so far. I have two flavors that GAG me and I have to finish them because we spent so much money on them... REALLY could have used a sample first.

Last time I checked, Nashua Nutrition had them in their samples options.  Hopefully they still do!

X2 on the Optimum Nutrition Double Chocolate.  I have tried numerous powders and this is by far the best tasting and easiest to mix with anything I have tried (almond milk, coconut milk, plain water, 1% milk, etc etc etc)

Syntrax Nectar Chocolate Truffle has always mixed nicely in water for me, not sure about coffee. It is very low carb. I love it!

Your right it mixes really well, coffee gives me my energy and a different taste, but it mixes similarly to the way water mixes with it. TY!
