Best tasting and effective protein powder
Good afternoon all you wonderful folks!
Can I get your opinions on what you feel is the best tasting and most effective protein powder to use. I really need to get back to getting enough protein during the day and I feel like a protein shake for breakfast in the mornings is a great way to start the day.
Thanks for your help and advice!

I use Premier Protein shakes because they're ready to drink (no mixing) and I like the taste better than any of the powdered protein that I tried, plus they have only 5 carbs (3 fiber). Breakfast for the last 18 months (since surgery) consists of coffee, protein shake, and maybe one more coffee. :) Great way to start the day, and I've got a great jump start on my daily protein goal. I usually buy them at Costco, online or in store.
I really like the Gladiator shake from Smoothie King. 45g protein, 1-2 gm carbs(depending on what flavor you get) 190 calories. It is a meal replacement shake, comes in strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. Easy to mix- mixes to a creamy texture with the blender bottle on the go. And if you want to use them as a snack shake- use one scoop, 6 oz of water- you are getting around 22 gm protein 1 gm carb or less and about 100 calories.
If you order it at Smoothie King- make sure to get it with no fruit
I can't stand Premier Protein, and I've gotten too many cases of the stuff that have been curdled. Yuck.
I like Optimum Nutrition Double Rick Chocolate.

I'm a huge fan of the Diesel Protein Powder. I wasn't a fan of protein powders at all until I discovered it. Tried a lot and didn't like the majority of them. It comes in a variety of flavours and tastes delicious. I make a French vanilla protein coffee for breakfast and then usually have a salted caramel one for lunch. The strawberry and cookies and cream or really delicious too. I bump up the fibre by adding a tablespoon of Benefibre to it.
