I tried Syntrax (3 flavors), Click, Muscle Milk Lite, Ensure Hi Protein, Unjury, etc and they just made me sick. I also don't have enough time and patience to "doctor" them up. I want one that is RTD so I can get out the door.
The first on I tried and loathed was Isopure. I only bought it because it was recommended by my surgeon and was on the post-op food list. Bleck! A waste of 2.50 a bottle, but at least I had a friend who liked them, so she got them.
The only pre-made ones I really like now are Atkins and I mix them with iced coffee concentrate in the morning so I can properly caffeinate myself. Mixes, I love Click espresso. And I've found a store near here that sells (what seems like) a bajillion types and flavors of protein-loaded foods. They have several powders I like and they even have a protein-rich version of a Crystal Lite mix.

Love the chocolate.
HATE the vanilla. Way too sweet for my taste.
Wish they still made the strawberry so I could try it.
BTW, they attend the OH and WLSFA conferences as vendors and are extremely generous. (Actually, most of the vendors are generous, especially on Saturday afternoon, when they are packing up.) If you have a chance to go to the OH conference in Atlanta, that would be a really good opportunity to check out other protein options.

They make strawberry but you have to order it online. It's not cheap. I'll stick with choco for now. I heard GNC Total Lean in strawberry was good. It's so expensive to find a good one. Lots of trial and error.

Really? In May, their rep told me they were going to discontinue strawberry due to the low demand.
At this point, I have a bucketload of Isopure that should take me through to when I am eating normally (semi-normally), though.

You and Jill are both right. The did stop manufacturing it due to low sales of that flavor, but you can purchase from their remaining stock online.
