    Muscle Milk tastes the best of all of them. It's absolutely delicious but it has added fat.

    If you want simple but not disgusting that mixes with just 4 stirs of the spoon go with Optimum Gold. I always have about 5lbs in a couple of versions on hand. Strawberry is the best. It also contains enzymes to help digest the protein... not to mention it's the best priced protein around.

    Just a word of caution to all of you, do not OD on protein. Keep your serving size down. I have been drinking protein shakes for 20 years. After a while I found that more than 20 grams of whey per serving taxes your kidneys over time. Drink it slow & in low doses for continued health.
    I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

    Webair, bitches.

      Yep, I can attest to ON, I love their stuff. I am on a major diet at the moment so I usually start my day with 1 scoop, I have 2 scoops before and after I exercise, and have a 1 scoop ON casein protein before bed. It tastes great, and is cheap as far as supplements are concerned. I will have to try Muscle Milk though, I have heard good things about that stuff other than in this thread.

        i found out the hard way when 8 yrs later i had such shooting pains in my kidneys...i stretch my shake over 15 min period compared to when i would guzzle it down. Plus i never take in more then 30grams at a time...

          by the way, put a scoop of L-Glutamine in your shake, especially on the days you lift weights. great supplement that gets overlooked...

                For you guys that had problems, 20-30 grams of protein at a time is more than sufficient. And you have to drink plain water after the shake and throughout the day keep from getting dehydrated or running the risk of having kidney issues.

                  i'd say stay away from the brands that have huge ads in magazines and stuff, they're way too expensive

                  I use pure whey protein (90%) isolate, creatine from "creapure", glucose and some Omega3 acids.
                  Spank me

                    i use to get pains in my flanks and finally went to a doctor and after having x-rays and blood work, he determined my creatine levels were high and because of my high protein diet i was backed up....it wasnt that i was lacking in hydration, i wasnt drinking enough. I was drinking my 8 glasses of water a day but because i MT bike, play raquetball etc...i was lacking hydration and my body could not breakdown the protein....

                    at first i thought i had back aches but it was deifnitely the protein. i cut back and increased my h2o intake and i have been fine since....

                      yes, whey protein powder (chocolate flavor).

                      make a low fat simulated chocolate malt thusly:

                      2 scoops whey powder, add ice, 10 oz low fat milk, and 2 tablespoons carnation malt powder.

                      blend in blender for about 2 minutes at high speed.

                      very low calorie (approx 300) thick and ice cold similar to dairy queen. drink after riding bike or bowflex.

                      add a banana for variety.

                      buy the mix a costco (cheap).

                      helps you stay on your diet, keep a flat belly, and feel full.

                      plus the protein each day helps you bang the old lady good.

                          I'd reccomend Isopure whey protein isolate. Remember, protein shakes are dead proteins and should not account for more than 30% of your daily protein intake.
                          .

                              Muscle Tech is good but it's way over priced. Don't go to GNC. Buy online at Bodybuilding.com. It's 1/2 the price than at GNC and it's reputable. Lots of great articles there too. This is good protein for cheap. I drink about 4 of them a day.

                              Check it out here. Good stuff and super cheap.

                                Oh, and make sure to drink LOTS of water! I try and drink at least 1 - 2 gallons of water a day.
