Look for a whey protein isolate or blend with stevia or low-calorie sweetener, options like Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard, My Protein Impact Whey, or Dy matize Elite Whey are good value. Use about 1 scoop per serving, usually after workouts or between meals, mix with water or unsweetened almond milk, start with 1 scoop a day to see how your body reacts...
Dymatize vanilla - either elite whey or iso100. Blend it with some fruits or dates and coffee and use milk not water
Dymatize Elite here. It's not an Isolate which no matter what the brand messes with my stomach. It's a little cheaper than the ISO 100 too.
Another Optimum Nutrition fan here. Have used it for 20+ years. I do switch off the last few years with Dymatize Elite if it's on sale, just for a change. What will jack up my stomach (have IBS) is any Isolate or Vegan brand.
Hey, fellow gym-girl here. go with well-trusted brands like Dymatize, if you are lactose intolerant then you can try the elite one else you can go with the isolate.

For chocolate taste, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard and Dymatize Elite mix well in a shaker and taste like a milkshake. Naked Nutrition Chocolate Whey is low sugar and natural tasting. Using milk instead of water makes it even creamier.
Dymatize Gourmet Chocolate is the tastiest protein powder I’ve ever come across. I often make hot chocolate out of it. Add the protein slowly and gently use a milk frother to incorporate the powder. You may not be able to get a full scoop in, depending on the amount of liquid, but I think a little protein is better than no protein.
