Looking for a good tasting protein powder

I am disappointed. I have never been much of a protein drinker, but my trainer recommends a protein shake after our workouts. So, I bought a new can of mix for women, called Aria. It's a 50:50 whey/soy protein that is designed for women, with a controlled glycemic response.
Today I mixed my first shake according to directions: 2 scoops to 8oz. water. I added ice and gave the cup a good shake. It was ice cold, just how I like my drinks. I swallowed, and waited. Nothing. Really, I tasted nothing. It was like some very watered down milky water. It's the vanilla variety. I love all things in vanilla flavor, and hoped it would have a nice rich flavor. Nada.
I honestly couldn't bring myself to drink it. Down the drain it went and instead I had some grilled chicken.

So, if anyone has a good protein powder to recommend, feel free. I'll keep looking.
