I am not much of a body builder, and I don't go to a gym but I did use to drink shakes made with whey protein. I used to have one in the morning instead of eating like I used to, eggs and bacon and toast with lots of butter, stuff like that. I think it helped me reduce a few pounds and I did feel a little more energetic. Lately I have just been drinking coffee and not eating at all in the morning which I am sure is pretty bad for me.
Anyways, as far as taste is concerned, the brand that I got was "Whey Delicious". I used to just put some orange juice and a few strawberries or raspberries or whatever I had into a blender with a scoop of it and I thought it tasted fine. I used to get the vanilla flavor. My wife would make the shakes too, and lately says that she thinks we should buy another tub of it since she actually liked the taste of it and having the shakes in the morning. So I would recommend this brand as far as taste is concerned. I haven't ever seen them in a store. I ordered from their website,
