What is the best protein drink for weight loss?

I don't have much experience with protein drinks and i wanna lose 25lbs by summer, any suggestions on one that will help and doesn't taste horrid.

I think they all taste bad!! What I like to do is make it into a smoothie. I use low fat yogurt (vanilla), bananas, ice, protein powder, and skim milk. Protein powder is protein powder as far as I'm concerned. I don't think any one of them is better than the other...that's just my thought on it.

I've found that Jay Robb's whey is the best. It doesn't have all the added sugar and stuff either.

I can do something like that on my days off, but on days I have work I need something I can just throw together... bc I'm lucky I get up in time to boil water for my tea no less mak a smoothie.. I will try it on a day off thx

Another option is to have frozen fruit readily available and Crystal Light drink (already mixed and in the fridge)...all you'd have to do is throw it in the blender. (Found that on a website, you can post me a note in my profile and I"ll send you the link, thanks to panda hehe.) Sure it takes some time, but surely it doesn't take as much time as boiling water! Sourpuss might have an easier drink mix option for the protein powder.
