my quest for vanilla protein

I've tried Pure Protein & Body Fortress - found them fairly tolerable & mixable with other stuff but I decided to try something different this time at Vitamin Shoppe. DO NOT try this "Whey Tech pro 24" as it is REVOLTING!! Good stats but horrible tasting!!

Going back to Vitamin Shoppe to exchange it for something else. Contemplating either Oh Yeah! or Syntha-6 powders.... Any recommendations? I'd prefer something fairly high in protein per scoop (20+).

Have you tried About Time Vanilla or Birthday Cake?? I think you have to get it online. Nutritional stats are great, good taste, mixes well.

You can get single packs (for trial or travel) pretty reasonably at their website.

I also think you can order it at netrition, vitacost, maybe Amazon??

It mixes well with water. I don't do well with milk (I use unsweet almond vanilla milk in smoothies - but it really isn't "milk.". It is also good in a hot protein drink.

I also like BSN desserts flavors and Isopure flavors - I think you can get those at Vitamin Shoppe.

Best wishses.

I eyed the BSN when I was at Vitamin Shoppe.... that may be the winner when I return this gross stuff!

Hello
Have you tried the Jay Robb powder.It's really good and Vitamin shop sells single serve.I don't like it with water, but it is so good with unsweetened Almond milk.I use the vanilla,orange cream[tastes like a creamsicle] and chocolate.It has no sugar,25 grams protien,1 gram fat.110 calories,1 carb no artificial sweetners.Give it a try I think you will like it.I heard the pina collada was good too but I haven't tried it

I've been using the EAS vanilla powder for some time and it tastes ok. But I dont drink it alone, I mix it with a liquid protein (any kind) and a banana, two scoops of protein and some fatfree milk if its too thick. Then I put it in the freezer. Tastes like banana ice cream. The powder has 23 grams of protein. I can almost get all my protein a day from the "ice cream" alone...if I could fini****

BTW i've been buying it at sams club

Syntha 6 is tasty but I can't handle it for some reason. If you want a sample of it I'll give you some on Tuesday.

Sure! Sounds good. Anytime that day works for me. I also have another protein you might like. It's called protein freeze. It's chocolate and you make it into an ice cream sorta thing. I bought it online if you want to look it up. www.proteinfreeze.com. I can give you some of that too. And yes please. I want an egg thingy.
