BEST tasting protein shake?

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any Protein shakes that actually taste good? I have always been turned off to the flavor of artificial sweetners, never liked diet sodas or foods sweetened with splenda? Help!

I drink The Ideal Chocolate Milk Diet protein.... it only comes in chocolate and vanilla. I like the chocolate flavor. To me it tastes almost like Borden chocolate milk.

I've also tried the Unjury flavors, chocolate, vanilla, unflavored and strawberry, as well as the chicken soup flavor....they're ok, but I personally like the ICMD better.

I've tried the samples of the Syntrax Nectar and since I don't care for kool-aid, I really didn't like any of those.

Another thing you can do is make your own...use the powdered instant milk with skim milk and whatever else you want, sugar free pudding mix, fresh or frozen fruit, sugar free syrup, etc. Or do the Carnation Instant Breakfast with skim milk, but add up to 1/3 cup powdered instant milk, which ups your protein.

I'd love to try different brands of ready-made drinks, but am too scared of wasting money and not liking it and then having to throw it away.

Isopure tastes like vomit. Seriously, vomit. I use GNC Total Lean and have found it the best. The strawberry one is positively the best strawberry ready made shake I've tried. In a pinch, I get the EAS Carb Control or Atkins Advantage. I try to catch GNC when they are having a buy one, get one 50% off sale along with free shipping and get a bunch ordered online. It's easier than shlepping a huge back of shakes from the store. I wish they came out with another flavor though.

I usually have Isopure Low-Carb chocolate for breakfast. It's a powder. I add an ounce of Torani sugar-free chocolate syrup and a couple of teaspoons of espresso powder. I shake it up with 10-12 oz. cold water in a Blender Bottle. It has 50g of protein. Another protein I like is Chike. It's only available online (www.chikenutrition.com). The advantage is that you only use 7 oz. of water and it has 28g of protein. The flavors are pretty good. I have chocolate and strawberry.

My favorite is Visalus Protien Drink. It is awesome. My favorite recipe is 8 oz vanilla soy milk, 2 scoops protien powder, 1 tsp decaf instant coffee and ice... blend it up in a bullet...and I swear it tastes just like a starbucks frappacino. Delish!

I can only tolerate the EAS brand carb control shakes. Strawberry is my fav

Hello, I had my surgery on july11th 2011 i have had 3 fills since then....so have you lost weight without the fills?

Sounds good...going to try this. I still battle the Starbucks demon daily!

I have tried many protein powders and the only one i have found that was actually really good was at GNC its the Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 has 60 grams of protein in one shake they have vanilla chocolate and strawberry and Cookies and cream flavors i really liked them and recommend you try them out gl jen

I love Unjury - all flavors:)

I like the unjury to. chocolate and vanilla. I was not a fan of the strawberry mixed with Water though. You have to buy it online, but I get my shipment in 2 days.

I just tried 2 oz soy slender coffee 2 oz vanilla muscle milk 4 oz lactose free milk with 3/4 scoop publix brand vanilla protein powder and 1/4 scoop carnation. SOOOOOOOOO gooooddd. I think it would be even better if i crushed ice with it but I don't have a blender atm.

what about the unflavored isopure mixed with something else...like may a supplement to a carnation instant breakfast with milk? i've read that the unflavored does have a taste, but does adding it with something else help cover it up?

So funny how taste is subjective. I look forward to my isopure shake every morning. I switch it up between the vanilla isopure, jay Robb chocolate, EAS, or muscle milk. Like all and add a packet of Splenda , Ice and blend sooo yummy!
