The best advice I got was to find one you like so you stick with it. People have been posting about 2oz. protein bullets sold at Costco, I'm going to check my local Costco out to see if they have them. I am tired of drinking a full cup of protein shake too.

I can honestly say that I actually ENJOY my protein!!!

You guys should really check out nectar Protein (here's a link) Nectar Protein by Syntrax Protein - Discount Sport & Bodybuilding supplements - My Supplement Store Online

It really is the best tasting in my opinion. I also have a vanilla flavor, but I drink the Fuzzy Navel Nectar. I will put half a bottle packet of Crystal Light peach tea or strawberry.

I REALLY recommend you try a Nectar.. I think on some sights you can find sample packets.

LOL also I do not work for nectar but it sounds like i do.

Also MAKE SURE YOU GET BLENDER BOTTLES!!!! I HAVE 5 OF THEM!!!!

I hated the protein shakes until I found Atkins Advantage. Now the ONLY flavor I do like from Atkins is Dark Chocolate Royale.

I'm hating these shakes but need the calories. The taste in my mouth is horrible. It feels like I need to brush my teeth every hour. I have been on the Atkins Shakes and just started Slimfast...they all suck.....9 more days 'till surgery.

I just picked up Muscle Max Lite. Yummy!
