The only protien powder I really liked was Dave Drapers.
A good opportunity to post this great article, I apologize if you've read this before I think I have posted it a number of times on many forums over the years

Preface: Dr. Ken's Reflections on "Some Notes About Ice Cream"
Ice Cream-Well, guilty as charged; everyone knows I love ice cream. I don't often eat cake or much of anything else containing sugar.
I've never been accused of having a sweet tooth.
However, ice cream, especially Graeter's Ice Cream from Cincinnati which I have been eating since 1965 when I can get my hands on it, serves as an important part of my diet.
I was told that I dug up every positive aspect of ice cream in order to justify my own intake.
No, I just laid out the pluses and minuses and made it clear that one can in fact, indulge at times if it is part of an overall diet that otherwise, makes room for such a treat.
Some Notes About Ice Cream
I have an almost incurable love affair with ice cream.
I can occasionally control myself and avoid it for days, even weeks at a time, but I'm invariably called back.
Is ice cream "bad," or at least as damaging to good health as many of us have been led to believe? There's no denying that the high butterfat content is contraindicated for those on a low fat diet, but ice cream does have a number of pluses.
For those who like to rationalize their indulgence, note the following: -as an energy source, its assimilability makes it a good food for children.
-Its milk protein is complete, containing all essential amino acids.
its homogenized fat globules are easier for the body to digest than the fats in most other desserts.
-it is a calorie-dense food, excellent for those interested in gaining weight.
-conversely, its palatability and ability to satiate make it possible to eat small amounts and still be psychologically satisfied, an important point for those seeking to limit caloric intake.
-it is high in carbohydrates, usually from a variety of sugars.
-it is a good source of many minerals, and the lactose, or milk sugar, enhances the assimilation of calcium. Although lacking iron and other trace minerals, many vitamins are present.
Ice cream's high levels of cholesterol and fat can indeed be a problem for those on restricted or fat! cholesterol modified diets.
Certain brands are also higher in fat and calories than others.
With planning and an intelligent approach to nutritive intake, ice cream need not necessarily be banned from the diet of a health conscious person.
