I loooove ON whey's Cookie's N Creme, but I'm in the minority by a landslide if you go by one poll I read. People generally hate it. Syntha 6 by BSN makes a chocolate and also a moca something that I liked a lot, too. Vanilla Isolyze by Species Nutrition is a great protein powder according to my tongue anyway. I will agree with you on advocating Blender Bottles. Those things are the bomb. I have three. You close it and shake it like crazy and it will NEVER splatter a portion of your drink out the top of a loose lid. I've never used their spiral ball, but that seems like a useful component - just don't like that extra clean up. Blender Bottle: http://www.blenderbottle.com/ And five bucks? I thought I paid eight at GNC! D'OH! Oh, well, a fool and his money... :-) --

What costs more - a steak or a protein drink. You can't eat seven steak or chicken breast meals in a day. > a wily old trainer, who told me "they are designed to build profits, > not muscle" That is one rockin' quote though. And, for the most part, a truism, however that doesn't mean that protein powders are always a bad idea. Get your best value and grow. --
