    I really like the taste of Beverly International's (http://www.beverlyintl.com/ ) Muscle Provider (their chocolate reminds me of a liquid fudge brownie) and it's a terrific multi-species protein (contains five protein substrates including: whey protein isolate cross-flow micro-filtration, whey protein hydrolysate, whey protein concentrate, lactalbumin and egg white albumin). It's good stuff - since you get some time release benefits out of the slower proteins as well as a very rich and complex mix of amino acids from a multi-species form. They also have some nice mass powders too (which contain yet more protein forms like caesin and beef plasma ) and are really known for their independently verified amino acid quality/potency - if you are into this and can afford it. Frankly I down these during workout every few minutes but it can be pricey when you get hooked on the results . This company seems to have quite a following with natural lifters and they don't advertise in big magazines but rather rely on word of mouth an have been around a long time. They are doing something right. There are a lot of online stores that will give you better prices than buying directly at retail though. I have used http://www.vitaglo.com/ as a very cost effective source (free ground shipping if over $50) but they usually don¡¦t have a lot of detailed online product info - so window shop the products at their respective companies then go hunting for low prices here or at your personal favorite online source

    Only "cost effective" blends I know of are just whey related. Otherwise proteinfactory, but taste good - no, its not ice cream nor do I expect it to taste like it. If I have a shake I chug it, I dont savor it.

    I'm with you really on that Nate too. Taste is irrelevant; even for the food im my case. I just eat to feed the machine so to speak. I just wanted to express an opinion on the taste to keep within the "gist" of the thread's title. Also, a lot of people that are just starting oftentimes get put off by some of the more foul tasting proteins. Gawd - ever try one of those nasty PM proteins containing a super dose of enzyomaticly (sp) pre-digested protein forms? Will just about make you nauseous if you don't down it in one gulp and follow up with a big dose of water while cleaning mouth of residuals - and if you breath before that you are doomed...

    I actually do What I love the best is the powder that dosen't get mixed up and it sticks to the side of the blender. I just grab a spoon scrap it all up. Some ppl just throw it away. I always say, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING! THATS MUSCLES YOU ARE THROWING AWAY!".

    But for me I like Myoplex, yet for some reason its starting to seem to sweet for me. Reasonable priced @ $28-35USD for 20 pack.

    Reasonable Price!? That at 2-3 servings a day would bankrupt me in a week. Go with the pro rated, 150 servings for $45 after shipping.

    from what i read proteincustomizer and others have low grade protein even though they claim it is very high. also they add gum/additives/sweeteners/fillers withouth reporting in the ingredients. they are not as high grade as lets say VP2 or optimum nutrition.

    correct me if i am wrong

    I hated Pro-rated, it is garbage IMO. It doesn't mix well at all without a blender and it is really bland. I never care about taste but I realy didn't like Pro-rated.

    I have no proof/evidence of their quality. I will say that the owner has told me that the quality is well above and beyond any retail product.

    As I know and trust him, I am willing to believe that statement.

    I do use it regularly.

    I am not sure though, how one can tell the "quality" of protein.

    If you are looking for a good tasting protien you should try Nectar by Syntrax. They have really good flavors. My favorite is apple ecstacy! It is really good! You get 36 servings for 39.95 on their website! Check it out! I normally don't eat for taste, but there is only so much of the griity chalky stuff one person can take. This Nectar tasts like candy!

    Sounds pretty expensive, as I get 10 pounds for barely more than that and I find the taste fine, enjoyable even. Chocolate Optimum Nutrition whey, and I have tried the vanilla, mixed or seperate they are both fine, cinnamon in the vanilla is good - chocolate by itself in water is actually nice. I dont normally pimp products but I like it, I still chug it though, its not a milk shake

    I just recently quit using the 100% Optimum Whey so yes, I know that it is cheap and tastes "ok". I used the Optimum for over a year. It doesn't hurt to try different things! I think if you are going for taste, Nectar is the way to go.
