Some do, some don't.  I've never had a really good tasting strawberry flavor imo...best to use vanilla and add fresh or frozen strawberries. 

Whey Gourmet flavors are great but I know you don't have access to those  :(

I remember SciTek (something like that) had a good pineapple flavor years ago.

The ones I tried were awful. Tasted like poorly made candy.

these are all pretty good IMO... http://www.dpsnutrition.net/search.asp?p=1&w=&c=nectar&t=s

it's always the chalky taste that will ruin a protein shake, but I have had several good strawberry & banana flavors, albeit they are always a bit more expensive.

Ergopharm's GF-Pro Orange Creamsicle, Cherry Blast and Raspberry Lemonade (and Blueberry RIP) are all fantastic, better than the Nectars I've tried.  Problem is the $$$.

Thats the name of the stuff I had. Too nasty to drink everyday. I felt like I was drinking a glass of liquified sweet tarts. Hell it didn't even taste that good.

I use MLO's super high protein.

It's a mix of Soy, Casien, egg and whey.

Tastes like shit, not a factor.

Gulp it and go

www.myprotein.co.uk

the impact whey protein tastes great in strawberry.
Get that with the dextrose on that website and you have one hell of a post-workout drink.

50g of Dextrose Carbs + 50g Whey Protein = Optimal conditions for muscle hypertrophy.
