Usually from the different manufacturers i've tried strawberry is OK. Chocolate can be really horrible or delicious depending on the brand of whey.

At the moment i'm using Bio Test Metabolic Drive

It's good quality stuff , and the chocolate flavour tastes amazing.
Strawberry all the way, son... :yy:

I recommend reflex whey from monster supplements myself, cheap and easily one of the best brands out there. The chocolate flavour was very nice, i got the choc-mint one before but it gets sickening easily.

just avoid banana flavours no matter the brand, ugh.

Over the years I've tried banana, strawberry, chocolate (that brand you get in holland and barrets, ew), vanilla and choc-mint and chocolate gets it every time.

Choc smooth.

Or, if you're just getting the Whey, I used to put in a bit of nesquik with it. Went down like a charm.

Your getting ripped off a treat!

908g = 637g protein and you need 1g per pound of bodyweight ish per day if you are serious about building muscle.

Assuming you want to take 100g of protein from the shake it would last under a week...

You need to go to www.myprotein.com and look at the protein shakes, they are so much cheaper and bloody good service. 5% of your first purchase use the code MP30499.

They had a computer bug so they werent told what flavours people were ordering so they rang me up, threw in a free shaker, and put it on 24hr delivery.

Your protein intake should come from sources other than protein shakes. To take a 100g a day of protein from shakes is a ludicrous suggestion :rolleyes:, though they are a very good means of adding some extra protein to your diet.

This said though, i agree that myprotein is definately the best value site for whey :smile:!

Oh, and the best flavour I've tried has been chocolate mint, though I'm not so sure if they still make it - i think it might have been replaced by choc smooth (?).

Maybe if your like 150lbs but if you are over 200lbs then its a far more practical solution, I know I take around 100g per day from my shake the rest from other sources.

Fair enough, whatever's easier for you I guess. I do only weigh about 150lbs actually, but am only 5ft7. I think I only take about 40g of protein a day from shakes.

@jackwhatton: which whey protein did you buy? there seems to be a few different types? ive been looking at Impact Whey Protein 80. Which sweetener also? Suc. Extra or Sucralose?
100g from shakes isn't really that much. I take optimum nutritions (ON) 100% whey and that has 24g protein per shake. I take 3 shakes on workout day plus eat meat/fish besides. My brother takes the USN stuff, but the ON one has been recommended by quite a few people I know.

Surely makes more sense to take most of your protein on days off? That's when you'll be doing most of your growing.
