I know what you mean. I've been using Optimum Nutrition AnyWhey unflavored

powder

DaVinci syrups and until recently my favorites were the hazelnut and

gingerbread.

Recently, though, I've been hogging all the watermelon syrup and blueberry

syrup, adding

blackberries, cherries, strawberries, mango, and banana. (Banana mixed with

DaVinci's

Gingerbread syrup is also marvelous.) The different combinations I can create

really get

me looking forward to my next protein smoothie. And by the way, you can get

great

frozen blackberries and mango at Trader Joe's, if you have one near you, and

their prices

are good.
