    ON Gold standard Casein Vanilla and Whey Double chocolate. The casein I add vanilla extract to it with soy milk. The whey I can just have with water or nonfat milk.

    I used to use the chocolate soy in my casein shakes with peanut butter and banana chunk. Then I realized how many carbs I was getting before bed and not its water and a tbsp of PB. BORING!!!

    ON whey as a snack @ 2:00pm 2 scoops
    ON Casien right before bed 2 scoops

    In my opinion Chocolate is best. Then again other people will say vanilla so you can mix it w/other things. Regardless what it is Optimum Nutrition makes these proteins in like agiliion flavors.


    -Happy lifting

    I buy ON bc/of the low sugar, and relatively high protein content per-serving. I dont know if the others have it too, but ON comes with BCAAS's alrdy inside so you know youll be absorbing as much as you can.

    Check out "musclesandstrength(.)com"

    Stopped using protein powder 9 months ago after i developed a stomach problem. I only use it very rarely. Now I eat some easy to digest real food like white fish (tilapia, flounder..wild caught) immediately PWO. I honestly think that eating lots of white fish PWO is just as good if not better than whey in terms of results and health.

    but if i had to choose...ON gold standard

    Optimum Nutrition here too. Gold Standard is a good mainstay. I've also tried their casein, platinum hydrowhey, weight gainer, and pro complex.

    I usually get it at GNC, simply because I am given gift certificates to there.

    ON Gold Standard b/c of price and quality , but my fav for flavor and quality + extra calories is Muscle Milk

    Allmax IsoFlex in my PWO Shake because it is a quality whey protein isolate

    and Gaspari MYOFUSION because it is by far the best tasting protein powder on the market IMO. (even better than muscle milk)

    All i use is a 10 pound bag of ON gold standard whey, like most here use. Reason being and i think most would have to agree, its got the highest rating.

    Only downside to ON is the $$$ i fork out to buy it, here downunder its not cheap >_<

    Universal Nutrition Milk & Egg Protein. I've tried countless others and recently have decided to start experimenting with old school supplements. I'm enjoying it, cheap and effective!

    Remember that in-order for your body to absorb the Protein optimally you need to have (x) amount of BCAA's present. A lot of protein supplements alrdy have these BCAA's in the mix so it ensures the best absorption possible.

    I use Reflex Peptide Fusion (whey/casein/egg white blend).

    Only whey or milk based supplement thats never given me an upset stomach and I have tried LOTS. Reflex doesnt cut corners on quality and other whey supplements give me a very upset stomach.
