Has anyone tried several different vanilla or chocolate shakes and found one they really like better than the rest? The only 2 that I can really compare are made by Healthwise & Robard (although they get private labeled many times under different names) and I liked the Robard vanilla and chocolate better. Anyone have any other preferences?

My favorite is called Chocorite (http://www.netrition.com/healthsmart_chocolite_protein_shakes.html) ... I LOVE the Chocolate Fudge Brownie and the Peanut Butter!! For Ready To Drink I like the Pure Protein cans (http://www6.netrition.com/ultra_pure_protein_shake_page.html) and the Peanut Butter Cup is sooooo yummy!! The ChocoRite has 24 grams of protein for 2 scoops (I use 12 oz water) and the 11oz cans of Pure Protein have 35 grams of protein!!!!

When I use powdered I buy the large container at Walmart. It has 24g of protein per scoop and they taste okay. Not great, but certainly palatable. I've been drinking the prepared shakes you get at Costco. 30 grams per container. They are thick and rich. I've go back and forth between vanilla and chocolate (is all they have), but love them both. My favorite by far is optisource. But I can't get that where I live. And I've not found it onine for the past year. Vanilla, strawberry, and caramel. All are to die for. They are WONDERFUL. If I could find them, I'd switch back to them for sure. It's the brand I was given in the hospital right after surgery.

Letrell-Thanks for the feedback on the protein drinks. I almost bought one of the big containers from WalMart the other day, chocolate of course! I wasn't sure how good it would taste so I ended up not getting it. Although I'm still pre-surgery I sometimes have protein drinks instead of a meal. I'm not a big fan of meat and tend to eat way too many carbs especially pasta, hot and cold cereals and fruit. I know I need to have more protein, especially after surgery and find the protein drinks a reasonable substitute for meat. I'll pick up one up from WalMart the next trip. I know you said it was OK and since I'm not overly fussy I'm sure it will taste OK to me. How does the taste compare to Glucerna? I'm not crazy about Glucerna but will drink it anyway. It find it has a mild vitamin aftertaste.
You can get Optisource protein drink at www.nestlenutritionstore.com. There is a $5 coupon available right now. I'm sure there are other places to buy on-line. Maybe you can find someplace that won't charge for shipping if you buy enough products.

I use the GNC Total Lean alread prepared protein drinks. They provide 25 grams of protein per 14 ozs and they come in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. The chocolate and vanilla are good the strawberry is good too but my favorite is chocolate 
I also have tried the Premier protein drinks which offer 30 grams of protein for about 12 ozs - the chocolate was good haven't tried any other flavors they offer. My friend said she purchased these from Costco.
