Good protein shakes?

[OneForTheMel]

Optimum Nutrition without a doubt, though it has lass protein per serving, your body absorbs more of it, so you don't end up peeing it all out. Double chocolate and milk is delicious, its not even that bad in water, but you can certianley tell the difference.

Some protein shake recipes copy pasted from another site. Have only tryed afew. My favorite whey is Champion Nutrition chocolate, mixed with just water in a shaker cup it tastes like chocolate milk. In the summer try it blended with ice cubes, good stuff!

Also, these recipes say for muscle gain to double recipe, I dont really recommend that for taking in one sitting. 20-30 grams protein is good enough. Just eat more meals later on.
