Best Protein Shake

I'm fixing to start testing the protein shakes and I don't want to waste my money on drinks that will go in the trash. What's your favorite protein shake/ beverage?

I think the best I have had so far was the syntax nectar cappuccino and chocolate truffle, they have a variety pack I would suggest but it really differs from person to person. I bought it because a lot of people liked their different flavors like apple and lemonade, but I find that chocolate masks the protein flavor best to me and I hated most of the fruity ones, (I added iced tea crystal light to the iced tea one and it was much better). I have a few protein shake deals and freebies on my blog if you are looking for some one stop shopping. I also just ordered from chike because I have heard good things and have yet to find one I love. I will tell you I hate all of the powders from GNC they are way to thick in my opinion and make me want to puke. I think the pre-made ones are better but I still hate them because although they are 25 g of protein, they are 14 oz and I usually only make my protein shakes 8 oz, aint nobody got time to be drinking one protein shake all day!

I've tried quite a few and decided that unjury chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla are good - not like an ice cream shake but the nutritional numbers work. costco sells Premier Protein Chocolate that is also acceptable.

FYI - should purchase UNJury's sample kit = has the flavors, chicken Soup, and unflavored which is great for mixing with Crystal Lite, broths, and your favorites that need more protein.

However, like the man said after he kissed the cow, it's all a matter of taste.

Bayshore is unflavored really tasteless?

I second Syntax Chocolate Truffle. I add PB2 and it tastes like a peanut butter cup. I also like the Syntax Vanilla mixed with fruit like peaches or banana.

I've tried the Unjury chocolate splendor and chicken soup, they are both really good...at least I think they are! Susan

I have Body Fortress whey isolate. Vanilla cream which gives me 30g per serving.

I went here and bought a dozen different samples.

I ended up liking Celebrate -ENS the best.

For me, it's consistency. I've had a few powders that tasted good, but they were too thin/watery for me - even with milk. The only one I've had that fits the bill for taste and has a thicker "shake like' consistency is Chike.

Chike is good..I keep a stock of vanilla, choc, and strawberry, and they have a new iced coffe that is terrific...I mix the iced coffee powder with my leftover morninf coffee for a great flavor, and pour it over ice on these hot afternoons! I also use my leftover coffee and put vanilla powder in it o make a "latte" flavor. Chike will send you samples, too..google them and call..very helpful

I like the premier protein drinks.....but they are premade, and are not thick.....besides a huge case at costco, you can pick up a 4 pack at walgreens to try them out......I was told walmart also had them.

I can't honestly answer this never having tasted the unflavored by itself, say in Water. However, I can attest to mixing it with other liquids does mask any trace of flavor - but a subtle change may be detected in the host liquid depending on it's being hot (140 F or less) or cold (better).

They are also at Sam's and IMHO the best ones out there. You get 30g of Protein with just one shake and the flavor is superior to many of them.
