Thumbs up for these suggestions. Went with chocolate versions of the first two and am very happy with them.
Optimum:
Complete Protein Diet gets a 'B+' for value and 'B' for overall taste. Has great flavor, but to be critical, mixed it is a little chalky. Anything above an 'F' in my book is something I would take for awhile if the price is right so definitely a winner.
XS:
Ultra Peptide gets a 'C+' for value and an 'A+' for flavor. Haven't had it since I was a kid, but I could have sworn I was drinking Nestle's Quik! Unbelievable that it has 0 grams of sugar. Go, go sucralose. Good stuff.
Also thanks for taking care of that issue. Had a problem with the
Advantage Matrix I purchased earlier and Mike handled it very well. Saw the forums and this thread and got a chance to be smart about making purchases the second time.
