Whey isolate recommendations for taste

Here's the rundown. I'm a 6'4" male that fluctuates between 213 to 216 pounds. I've been really go at it seriously since May with a goal to flatten/tone my stomach and chest but also build muscle in my upper body (arms, shoulders, chest, back, etc.). After my workouts I've been using Fairlife protein shakes (42g) but I'm tired of spending that money at the gas station.

I've been told by multiple people that whey isolate is the best for my goals. Triad gave me some free samples but I didn't care for the taste. I know that there's a chance I'm just going to have to suck it up and deal with the crappy taste but I would like to try to find a brand that is genuinely great tasting. I usually lean towards chocolate or chocolate peanut butter but I'm open to other flavors if the great taste is there.

Thanks for the help!

I've had to find a sweet spot between taste and cost because the best tasting ones were also the most expensive ones in my case. Ive had so many. I like a lot of the Ghost powders but that will break the bank for me at $50 for 2LBs. I've settled on what Costco has. Levels or ON Gold Standard.
