    Need a good protein powder...I'm a girl ;)

    I am looking for a good blending and tasting protein powder. I get protein shakes at my gym by the company "Shake This". And my fav is the Banana Bonita and the Choc Almond. Anyone know what protein powder they use for this and if i can purchase it somewhere? Thanks

    The performance powder they use for the shake bars is Core Nutrition.
    Surely I can purchase it at the gym..

    I can confirm the superior taste & flavor of Dymatize Nutrition's protein, those guys are hard to beat with also some unusual flavors like Berry. Although, Weider also produces some of the most incredible chocolate flavored proteins, and their flavors are certainly worth giving a try.

    It's all in preference...you have to try a few to see what you like for flavor, after taste.....sugar substitute...etc.

    I like Myofusion, and it's also a protein blend so you're getting different timing on amino's being released. Also, ON's Casein can't be beat IMO!

    I like Dymatize, but if you want a few more easy good quality pro's add a half-to a cup of liquid egg whites. At a half a cup, I can't tell they are in there. It's not a whey pro, but ON's Nitro Core 24 (I think is the full name) is a pro blend & is yummy yummy yummy. Blend the vanilla up and it's like ice cream.

    If I were eating for taste, I'd be going with Dymatize chocolate whey isolate. Very tasty and easily homogenized.

    As far as Casein goes, ON Casein flavors are unbeatable IMO.

    For the sweet tooth, Ultimate Nutrition ISO Sensation 93 flavor varities are a must! Very good protein also.

    Yes...this is a good one. When I'm in a rush in the morning and don't have time to make my protein pancake...I'll mix it in my oatmeal in the morning....yummy!

    As far as a good protein blend I favor EvoPro, Myofusion and the Lean Body RTD's (not very cost effective but they are very convenient!) The whey brands that I've been using for the last 5 or 6 yrs are IDS and Optimum Nutrition. I try different brands on occasion but always go back to the old faithfuls. Try vanilla eventually, that way you can change the flavor as not to get tired of the same ol same ol. Hope this helps

    Oh, and just a suggestion, you may want to post this in the female forum as well if you're wanting some additional female feedback.

    As far as tatse i have 2 that stand above the rest imo. I could care less re: tatse but these 2 are far and away the best ever imo. They also both happen to be whey isolates , which i dont put much emphasis on anymore either (type of protein)
    1- SYntrax Nectar - any fruit flavor
    2- Whey Gourment - Arctic Cappuccino
