Can someone please recommend a good protein powder that has a good taste I can buy at a store.

I bought 2 kinds by the same company Syntrax, One is called Matrix and on is called Nectar. They both came highly recommended by others here and they are the BEST protein shake i've ever tasted! They both offer high protein low fat and carb and have a lot of flavors. If you have a Vitamin Shoppe near where you live, they sell the product there. Otherwise, search online, I think there are a few other stores who carry their product but if not, they do ship from their home site and it doesn't take long. Good luck!

Initially I bought mine at GNC. I really like one by BPI sports in the Vanilla Caramel flavor and GNC also carries a brand called Cellucor that has several flavors. Even though GNC is a bit more expensive than some of the other stores, I chose to buy my powders there because you can return them if you don't like them (even opened). That was worth the extra expense to me. I returned several different ones and had no problem with them. 

Both those brands are available at other stores and online but maybe utilize GNC for your initial taste tests so you have the option to return. Once you find a couple that you like you can shop around for the retailer that has the best price. That was what worked for me at least.

If you have a Costco or Trader Joe's near you, you can try the protein powder and if you don't like it it is returnable. I think you might be able to do that with Vitamin Shoppe as well and they have a huge selection. Check with them. I buy Fit Frappe Mocha at my local Stop n Shop food store, I think it is awesome. According to their website it is sold at some Sam's Clubs as well.

I think I have tried almost everything. I'm afraid it was a mind thing and I never thought I had the grit mixed in well. I found Premier Protein at Sam's Club. I think you can get a smaller package at Walmart but they are more expensive. They have Chocolate, Vanilla and I just found Strawberry Cream and I think it is my favorite. They are premixed and in a carton kind of like a juice box. 30 grams of protein. I love 'em and feel like I'm cheating. They are worth the price!

Since everyone's tastes are different - no.  

But I really like Optimum Nutrition Double Rich Chocolate.

I agree with Gwen... everyones tastes are different and I was asking the same question... I tried so many different brands... Finally, I like Synrax Nectar.... at least for now, because you'll find not only are your tastes way different than everyone elses, but your tastes may change in a month or two as well... Good luck finding something you like. :)
