If you are into whey protein that has no artificia flavor, the brand I
found at GNC (but bought online for a heaoer price) is "ON". It also
comes in one other flavor, chocolate. I googled for coupon for that
vendor and got a 5lb for some change less $45 including shipping. It's
$49.99 + tax at GNC.
