This one. It's cheap, effective, and delicious.
Has anyone tried the ON Natural Whey Protein? I love the ON extreme milk chocolate but I'm curious as to whether the natural version tastes the same.
Personally, I like this for after a workout, taste is pretty decent and nothing extra in it. For a meal replacement I usually go with two scoops of this mixed with ~10oz of whole milk. You are using metic and Euros so I'm not sure what part of Europe you are from or where to get it cheaply, but you should be able to find these not too expensively.
I like this stuff... All natural.

Amazon has Optimum Nutrition at 15% off with Subscribe and Save. After the order ships you can cancel the subscription and still keep the discount. This is the best tasting I've had over a 4 year period and you will not find it cheaper anywhere else.

Thanks for the reply I really enjoyed the article. I am already doing many of the things suggested in the article, but I do need to get better about pre workout snacks. I too often put off eating before a workout because I'm prepping for a big meal afterwards. I'm a big fan of http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Standard-Natural-Chocolate/dp/B000GIQT06/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1323805198&sr=8-2 for shakes. Thanks again for the support.

Or go to trueprotein.com where you can select all of your own ingredients and ratios. If you want sweetened stuff with no artificial sweeteners, just make it 5% dextrose or maltodextrin.

it says it's "free of artificial flavors and sweeteners"

Might want to use this link instead. Save yourself $7
I'm confused too, but here's what I'm finding:
It looks like there are two kinds: "natural" and "non-natural".
The "subscribe and save" option only exists for the natural one.
The natural one has three favors (vanilla, chocolate strawberry). It's naturally flavored and has 5g of carbs.
The non-natural has like 20 flavors, and only 1g carbs (or maybe 3 grams... The description says one thing but the image of the nutrition label says something else).
They both have 24g protein and 5.5g BCAA. Natural is 130 cals and unnatural is 120 cals.
I know nothing about tastes, but the reviews seem to say both are good.
I've been taking whey for years and I usually just take it by itself after a workout with water. Its been good enough so far and I haven't put much more thought into it. As far as carbs, I usually need it prior to working out than after, as it seems I need the extra energy they seem to supply me.
Anyway, I used to take the regular ON whey found here, , but have recently switched over to this natural formula of theirs. I like the natural one more because it seems to mix better with water and doesn't have that artificial taste after drinking it( from sweetners).
Not working for me. Tried purchasing the 'Natural' version of ON. http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-100-Chocolate-powder/dp/B000GIQT06/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t
Is it over already?
