Alot of people on here are talking about the Gold Standard Whey brand. I've tried it myself and it does taste great. If you look at Amazon.com, they even list it as a best seller. With that said,, I would not reccomend it for one reason: HIGH SODIUM content. There is 200mg of sodium per serving. I use another protein brand that is sold at my local mom and pop nutrition store called CORE, which is a mix of whey and casein protein. It only contains 40 mg of sodium.
When looking at purchasing proteins, you also need to decide what type of protein you want to buy: Whey, Casein and Soy. In general, stay away from Soy. Without going into alot of detail, soy is actually hard for the body to digest. Whey is great for post-workout. It is a fast digesting protein, so it's the perfect shake to have within 30 mins after your workout as it will go straight to repairing your muscle. Casein protein is slow digesting. This works great first thing in the morning or before bed. It's will slowly go to your muscles.
