Protein is the greatest source for building muscle or prevention of muscle loss. Foods high in protein will be your meats and poultry, seafood and fish, tofu and dairy items like milk and cheese. Some of the high protein foods may come with high levels of saturated fats (mostly founds in meats), so you may want to consider protein shakes made from 100% whey protein which has low fat and low carb.

I'm a vegetarian, so I'm always searching for more protein. The best-tasting and least noticable protein powder would be Whey protein powder. It works like a charm, gives you lots of protein, and you won't even notice it.

You are not going to see a huge difference from the most expensive to the cheapest protein powder.  Just go by which one you like best.  That being said, here are some concerns about a few types I like to avoid:\n\nPersonally, I don't like Muscle Milk.  It's loaded with fat (yeah, I know "lean lipids", whatever) and contains a chemical called glycocyamine, which is heavily linked to cardiovascular disease due to its tendency to raise homocysteine levels in the blood (among other things).  Even if that doesn't scare you (cardiovascular disease being the #1 killer in the U.S.)...there are plenty of other options for you.\n\nIon-exchanged whey isolates (like in Isopure) are also heralded as a "better" form of whey, but the process involves running a type of acidic solution through the protein...and again, there's better options.\n\nJust go for a good, micro-filtered whey protein isolate that won't break the bank (because you'll probably be drinking quite a bit of it).  Optimum Nutrition makes a good one, as does Iron-Tek and Biochem (all made by Country Life, I believe).

I am not going to recommend a particular brand but just give you some things to think about. Not all protien is the same. The best protien for muscle buildling is milk related "whey" protien. Soy protiens are protiens and will help, but the "whey" protiens are more easily used by the body, so look for something with with whey. You might also look for "biological protien rating." The higher the rating the better--this means how much of the protien in that product is going to be used by your body to build muscle. Finally, consider calories. Many protien supplements assume that the user also wants to "gain weight," so they add in calories.  I prefer to get calories from more nutritional foods--fruits and vegetables for example, so I look for a fairly low calorie protien supplement--what I want there is just protien. \n\nYou should take in protien within three hours of your workout--the sooner the better. This will aid in muscle repair and slow the breakdown of muscle fibers.

It is high in protein and your body absorbs it best for max growth.  Whey comes from milk (curds/whey).  There are other types of protein like egg and soy which are not as mass building but are good for dieting.

Yes. There are a variety of very cost effective protein shakes on the market. There are even some available for under $10 a pound which have nearly no fat or carbs and no lactose. \n\nIf it's simply a matter of wanting to substitute protein for meat to meet your protein requirments and you're still getting enough calories without making the shakes a huge part of your diet you'll be fine. In other words, you wouldn't want to make the protein shakes more than say 20% of your calories.

Most of the whey protein powders you find  will contain mostly whey protein concentrate with some whey  protein isolate mixed in. You'll also find a lot of pure whey protein concentrate, and some whey protein isolate. Comparing the two, whey protein isolate is more expensive than concentrate - because it's of higher quality(more pure), and have a higher biological value (BV). Whey protein isolate contains more protein with less fat and lactose per serving. Usually, isolate contains 90-98% protein while whey concentrate contains 70-85%.\n\nWhey protein isolate is the highest yield of protein currently available, and it comes from milk. Because of its chemical properties, whey protein is the easiest to absorb into your muscles. Obviously, with its high concentration, whey protein isolate 'would' be the best to use, but like all great things, there's always a downside. It's more expensive, and just because it's more pure, doesn't mean it'll give you more muscle and size. Its extra concentration may not justify the extra costs for you.  Most bodybuilders only take the isolate form right after their workout and then supplement with the concentrate form at other times.

you should go with 100% whey only.  you don't want the blends of protein that have whey and possibly stuff like casein protein.  whey is broken down in roughly 30-60 mins which is what you want right after workout...so you have protein to repair/build muscle.  casein isn't bad but it is used up over a few hours...which is better before you sleep or in the morning so your body has a constant supply of protein.\n\ntry optimum nutrition 100% whey...chocolate mint is my favorite.

How about shake with fruits in it like banana shake or strawberryshake, you get benefits from the both.  However, stay away from too much saturated fat you get from milk product.  Low fat shakes are the best with fruits.
