Best Protein Drink for Best Price?

I use Body Fortress Whey.  I get it at Wal-Mart for like $18 for a BIG tub.  There are a million things you can do with it, both in shake form and in other cooking, so it's versatile.

I also like the Atkins Advantage shakes.  I am not too fond of Unjury.  I want to be but I'm not.  The smell is ghastly.

I'm like you about the price. 

My doc insists on 100% whey protein.  He suggests many brands, but I found Body Fortress at Walmart for about $14.00 for a 2 week supply. 

Daily I make 1 pint (2 eight ounce servings, 1 scoop per serving) of the stuff for my pre-op diet.  It has 52 grams of protein and is low in carbs.  There is no soy and the whey is mostly whey protein isolate which I have read is less likely to trigger reactions for those with dairy allergies/ intolerance. 

Vanilla is pretty bland but I mix it with my soy milk (no real dairy for me).  I'm sure in a smoothie it will be a lot better.  It dissolves pretty easily without a blender.  I shake it in a water bottle.  I no longer bother with the shaker that sells for around $3.00. 

Next week I want to try something tastier.  I'll post if I find anything good no one else has mentioned.

 I love the unjury....$19 and you get 17 scoops...just over a buck a serving. I love the taste...( i know that is so relative ) I couldnt get anything else down....EAS, Boost , glucerna, atkins. I read that so many people love those products. 

But...the $1.10 per serving is a lot less then I was spending on food before...lol...20g protein to boot
