Optimum 100% Whey - Double Chocolate is what I use... It's the best tasting I have had. With that said, it still tastes like crap.
 
Optimum Nutrition Chocolate with milk and just a bit of peanut butter is awesome. ON is also the only stuff I've found that I can actually handle with just water if I'm in a hurry.
 
I link SPIRU-TEIN shakes. The best are cookies-n-creem, choc and PB, vanilla. I had these for b-fast for at least 2 years (kinda of let up the last few months but getting back into it). I just like them since they are better balanced than cerial.

Oh, I use milk (lots of it) and add PB for a little fat in some of them. Also fruit with the vanilla or banana with the choc & PB. Mine ended being being ~ 24oz (I think since my glass is a large one... one of the big arse clear glass mugs that wal-mart has).

Our 9 year old has one for b-fast everyday as well as afternoon snack (about 10oz).

Dont drink protein shakes unless youre actually going to work out. A buddy of mine was a manager on the basketball team at school, so he got free protein shakes all the time for another freind of ours, who liked the taste. Said freind gained 27 pounds first semester, because he never worked out, but drank tons of shakes. Sucked for him, buf funny as hell, needless to say... 😀

He was probably drinking Weight Gainer. 😛
 
I try to take chocolate or protein Whey shakes most days, but when I have to take them at work, it's the worst. In a jif, I have to mix a scoop or two with water...and after a few months of this, you get pretty disgusted just looking at the concoction. With milk, it is not nearly as bad.
 
Optimum Choco flavor, with some soy milk(lactose intolerant). Add banana and some peanut butter and then some ice to chill it. Hits the spot after a long day on the coach flipping channels.
 
Suckers. You guys don't know crap about protien shakes. If you think they taste like crap then youre buying the wrong ones.

Low-Card Grow! Vanilla is where its at. With just water, it tastes great. But if you add some milk, my god its the healthiest milkshake you'll ever have.

A lot of misinformation in this thread as well. Protien shakes should be a staple of anyone's diet who is into lifting, for both bulking up and cutting down.
 
I take ON's 100% Whey Protein usually twice a day. I've tried both chocolate and strawberry, and neither one is really all that bad. I buy them in the 10lb bags, so I get a little tired whatever the current flavor is by the time I get to the bottom of the bag.
 
Every flavor I have tried from ON's 100% Whey line I have liked, with the exception of Vanilla. Their vanilla is horrible. But the Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, Strawberry, and Cookies and Cream are good, though the Cookies and Cream flavor is only good if you have it occasionally. Currently I've got about 15 lbs of Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, and C&C in my room.
 
Here is the breakdown of my shake:

20% CFM Whey Isolate
20% Soy Isolate
20% Egg White
20% Aussie Caseinate
20% Hydrolyzed 1400


A total of 40 grams

Aussie Caseinate? Is that made from Australians?

you sht out excess protein. it was probably what else they mixed in with the shake or your friend's stash of junk food hidden behind a painting 😀

The best protein I've ever had was Nature's Best Zero Carb Isopure. It comes in flavors like Apple Melon, Alpine Punch, Pineapple Orange Banana, Mango Peach, Strawberry, and Vanilla. And it doesn't taste all milky like the other protein shakes I've had (EAS, etc). It's pricey though. But it has 50 grams of protein per serving and 0 carbs and fats. I just halved it for 25 grams per serving.
