What kind of protein Shake/bar are you using?

I usually drink Syntrax Chocolate Truffle. It's the only one I don't have to doctor up in order to deal with the taste. I mix it with So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk, which is only 50 calories per cup, and tastes good, but only has 1 gram of protein and 5 grams of fat, so it's not perfect. I think soymilk tastes like liquid beans, so I don't do that. Almond milk tastes okay, but it still has a flavor to it. The coconut I don't really taste at all.
Other flavors I have tried that are good: Syntrax Strawberry Mousse, About Time Birthday Cake and About Time Chocolate. Syntrax is not as thick, and does not get foamy when you blend it (a big plus for us newbies). About Time has a thicker milkshake-y texture, but if you leave it in the blender too long, drinking it will be painful. Ask me how I know.
Protein Bars: Quest is the ONLY brand I will eat. When I first tried the chocolate Quest bar, I thought all the people who said it tasted like a brownie have WAY better imaginations than I do. Then I went on a fruitless search for a brand that tasted better, and found all of them completely inedible. Back to Quest, and they taste pretty darn delicious now. My current favorite is the apple pie. Yes, they are dense and chewy, but I like chewy.
