Quest Vanilla Milkshake has 24g of protein for 110 calories. You can mix it with water (not the tastiest option), or do 1/2c water and 1/2c Fairlife nonfat milk (that specific milk adds 6g of protein and 40 calories for 1/2c

I like the lemon lime Liquid IV- I use more water than what it calls for but it’s less strong taste wise than Gatorade. I like the Alani Cookies and Cream, Muscle Milk Intense Vanilla, or the Quest Vanilla protein shakes.

I'd say the quest 45 vanilla is in the running.

I'm not a fan of them. They are thin and not very sweet. I like nurri. Premiere. Fairlife. Quest.

I hate most of the ones I tried. I must hate the taste of sucralose, because that seems to be a common thread. Note that I don’t care for sweet drinks. I have zero interest in soda and am baffled about why anyone wants to ruin a perfectly good glass of ice tea by sweetening it. So this obviously affects my taste in protein drinks. I won’t go so far as to say I’d drink these just for the flavor, but the two I’ve found that I don’t really mind are Quest 45 vanilla and Koia Elite chocolate. Note that I drink a shake (12-14 oz) mixed with a liter of seltzer.

I have been on the hunt for a good vanilla, and have up. I remember quest being bad. If I'm remembering right the texture had too much gum and the aftertaste was like cheap stevia.

For me the texture issue is from the Quest powder having too much gum and thickeners in the ingredients. I don't use any thickeners in my recipe at all since it makes the ice cream more like a mousse or pudding. Other people love it. To each their own. The flavor was not good. As I said it tasted like cheap stevia. Cheap stevia has a slight licorice aftertaste.

Fairlife Chocolate (premade) and pretty much any of the Clean Simple Eats! I also enjoyed the Quest Vanilla for a good bulk purchase option.
