    I use Bluebonnet whey protein in either chocolate or vanilla.  It has not artificial flavor, sweeteners, etc...I make a great smoothie every morning.  You can also just mix it with milk or water for an extra boost.  Here's my recipe:

     5 oz Frozen berries

    1/2 to 1 banana

    3 large handfuls of spinach

    1/2 cup pure cranberry juice (not cranberry juice cocktail or blend, straight juice.  I like R.W. Knudsen.  I have UTI issues, and this helps.  You could substitute water)

    2 Tablespoons ground flaxseed (fiber and omegas)

    1 scoop Bluebonnet whey 

    1/2 to 1 cup of water (sometimes I sub milk or yogurt if I need more calcium/calories for the day).

     This is a power-packed breakfast that gets lots of awesome nutrients in!

    Also, I often put this in the blender the night before, so in the morning all I have to do is put the blender on the stand and mix it up!

    I've used the GNC brand of 100% whey protein for years and it's pretty good (mix it with part milk to give it a little creaminess...)..

    Otherwise, MHP is pretty good from what i've heard...  There are a lot of good brands out there, but I'm also a drug tested athlete so the GNC is the one I stick pretty close to because their products we usually don't have to worry about.  Talk to a bodybuilder or powerlifter if you know any in your area for what they recommend.

    I use EAS pure whey protein in Vanilla flavor, and I make berry smoothies, or mix it in with my oatmeal.. I have a hard time stomaching shakes to begin with so this works for me. It has zero carbs, so Im not to worried about mixing it.

    I use Body by Vi there is less then 1 gram of sugar and 7 carb in one shake. They are very filling and taste great. Check out the site and let me know if I can help at all. Good luck!!!
