BSN has recently begun to sell a line of protein powders called "Lean Dessert". They are thicker powders with about 20g of protein per scoop, and are available in a variety of flavors. I tried the "Chocolate Fudge" flavor.
Content-wise, it's pretty good. Two heaping scoops gives you 40g of protein, and has fewer calories and carbs than other powders. It's inferior to high-end protein powders like Designer Whey and Muscle Milk, but Lean Dessert is a good value for the price (about $24 retail for a 2-lb jug). If you order through a discount retailer like Amazon.com, it is even cheaper. The taste (at least for chocolate fudge) is mediocre, but if you mix it with milk the taste improves dramatically. Also, I would imagine that the powder would work well in baked goods. It tends to be a little thick as a shake, but might make a decent protein pudding.
Overall, if you're just getting into protein powders, try one of the more popular ones first. If you're on a budget, though, Lean Dessert isn't a bad option. However, if you're serious about bodybuilding, use a powder like Designer Whey or Muscle Milk.
