Everybody has their favorites.

My favorites are Champion Nutrition whey stack (vanilla strawberry or chocolate ONLY...the other flavors have Splenda...yuck!)

Optimum Nutrition Vanilla (But it gives me alot of gas)

I have heard praise about nectar powders, but I have not tried them.

My LEAST favorites:

Anything Soy. Some people like it, but not me.

Anything with Splenda, which is most of the products these days. I don't believe that it causes the problems that people claim, I just hate the taste.

Anything with Stevia in it. Again, I dont like the taste.

Any pure egg Protein. These are truly disgusting.

Have a look through the threads in the food Forum. There's a lot of great information there, along with suggestions from many people regarding taste etc.

Good luck. :)

I like ANY WHEY. But I get the flavorless one and make shakes with orange juice, frozen strawberries and bananas.

Syntrax Essence Vanilla Flavor! No Sugar - No Fat - 90 calories per serving - Promina Whey Isolate - Lives up to its claim to be the best tasting Protein on the market. I drink it just for the taste. (Can too much protein be bad for me?)

I order mine from drugstore.com, although you can probably buy it at health food stores. Go to www.drugstore.com if you want to read up on it. I dont like most other Protein drinks because they all seem to have an aftertaste -- even Ensure, which so many bandsters recommend.

I understand that Syntrax makes another Protein Drink too, so, if you buy this, be sure to get the Essence.

hello all this is a question on protein,is there a particular benefit from drinking protein drinks? and would it benefit me if i didn't eat a lot of meat?will it help to keep me satisfied between meal's[ i know i said a question and it turned into three sorry guys lol ]

(Can too much Protein be bad for me?)

Too much of anything can be bad for you, protein is no exception.

Excessive protein can cause liver damage which isn't so fun. However before panic sets in, you'd need to be eating a LOT of protein (like 300grams a day). I doubt you are close to that :)

Your body can also only absorb so much protein so having more than you need isn't really going to help and it will just be additional calories.

60 grams a day is a good level to shoot for, more if you are working out. Your nutrionist can certainly give you sound advice on what to have.
