I have used EAS in the past and now I use a store brand protein powder that's very similar. It is a good mix of protein that works well for post work outs or for meal replacement. It also has a lot of vitamins and minerals which is great.
I use protein supplements for a couple reasons, mainly because I've had great results with protein heavy diets. I will drink a protein shake after a work out but I also use protein shakes to replace meals if I don't have time to make something healthy.
I also know of a great website that has lots of varieties of protein with different flavors. I'll have to look it up but if you're interested I'll post the link.
Money doesn't dictate quality for supplements though. Make sure you're reading ingredient lists!
Mmn chocolate and banana protein shakes...
