Google then hen price check. I forget where I used to buy it but they had free shipping and would price match the lowest price I could find online, just takes some digging. Tastes great and dissolves easily as well.

I just get the Cytocore stuff from CostCo.

It seems to work well, has a decent reputation online (FWIW), and has a reasonable price.

When buying protein powder, the biggest thing seems to be avoiding the brands that have tons of sugar in them. Other than that, whey protein is whey protein.

How does the chocolate taste? I was just there at Costco eye-fucking all the options, I hate to drop $50 on a big package of something without knowing if it tastes good or not. But that one did catch my attention, had the lowest cost per serving IIRC.

It tastes alright. Even better if you throw some coconut milk in with it instead of water.

My only complaint is that it tends to clump up when you try to mix it, so throw it in a blender bottle instead of trying to mix it with a spoon.

I'd suggest going to Costco over the weekend to see if you could get a sample, but the chances of a sample table being set up with the product you want, out of the other thousands of products seems...slim.

I use BB for all my stuff, and their prices are really good. Also, a lot of guys have been suggesting Gold Standard, which is what I primarily use. Very tasty and a good value.

Well, a little Googling found me this. Looks like some great info, it should help narrow the field..... http://www.leanitup.com/review-prote...shaken-graded/

THIS. anyone who doesn't use bodybuilding.com is doing it wrong, cheap, super fast shipping, lots of deals, they give you bonus items for over 75 and 100 orders. i buy everything from there. i highly recommend MUSCLE PHARM COMBAT POWDER from bodybuilding.com. its made in denver and they got supplement company of the year last year. dissolves very well, its light and fluffy powder as opposed to highly granulized. banana cream is damn good but if you want sometime more typical mint chocolate is very good. most of their flavors get high ratings.

Sounds like bb.com is THE place to order from, it's just a matter of knowing WHAT to order, hm?

It is matter of know what to order but bb.com helps with that as well they make recommendations by laying out all information for you to decide for yourself.
