well, you can custom make your protein at trueprotein.com
but i usually just get the vitamineshoppe brand, tastes great, mixes great, has all the bcaa's and other aminos in it, and pretty inexpensive.
I've bought from trueprotein.com a few times in the past.
I was buying Syntrax for awhile, but prices went up over $10 a bag!

i need to renew my membership. I loved that place.
I should see if there is one near me. I am sick and tired of not being able to find crap at my local store.
I want high protein snacks, items to eat in between meals, in the middle of the night, etc
I used to use cottage cheese, tuna, other canned fish/meats, bagels, etc but all get old after so long.

Try eating fish and aspragus 5 times ed for 6 weeks. I get kinda angry on the 4th day with out carbs. Then i carb up on the 5th day. Getting great results but dang. On carb up days i eat about 16 cups of rice and 10 bananas along with my fish and aspragus.:(
Fish and asparagus is one of my main meals :p
I don't do the carb limiting, I mainly just try to avoid crap foods and eat high protein.
My diet is not as good as it once was.

its pretty good creamy strawberry,and bannana cream is the shizzle.
6 Star 'I think is the name' is one I did not care for at all.
Banana Cream or Strawberry, hmm I usually get Chocolate but something else might be good for a change.

bananna cream is the best proteinn flavor IMO
I usually custom order from true protien and do not have the flavor added to the mix. I but it seperately in several flavors and add to the shake itself. That way I can pick the flavor of the day and not get burned out on 1 taste. Stuff is smooth as silk too !
