i use my own mix of BCAA's, Glutamine and waxy maize starch during workouts.
and post-workout i use 2 scoops of Halo (yes, muscletech, i know everyone likes to make fun of them, but this product has been good to me) with one tablespoon of beef gelatin (about 10 grams of easily digestable and inexpensive protein) right after i finish.
once that's settled into my belly i have a whey protein shake (20 to 30 grams protein) of whatever random brand i have around the house.

i picked up adding beef gelatin to supplements from reading the books by legendary body builder steve reeves. in his book "building the classic physique" he talks about how there were no protein/sports supplements available back in the early 50's so he used to drink gelatin and eat plenty of eggs for his protein. i have since experimented with it and seems like a good and inexpensive way to add protein and calcium (beef gelatin is around 90% protein, 10% calcium).
it is not the best choice as your sole source of protein though as it does not have the essential amino acid tryptophan but as a supplement to egg, whey or other proteins it makes a great and inexpensive addition. (it it virtually flavorless and only adds a bit of gel like consistency to your shakes.
