Long time body builder, 4 year vegan here. I've tried them all from cheap bulk pea and soy to expensive Vega brand, but the best I have ever tasted (and happens to be one of the top 5 for nutrition) is Lifetime's Life basics Vanilla. My favorite part is that it contains ground up chia seeds rich in omegas which really thicken up your shakes (chia seeds bloat in water) It's a must try.

I took this one for a while, it's got a bit of an odd ..green flavor to it? But not awful or anything. I think every protein powder has an odd taste to it, they're just different.
I usually have a glass of chocolate milk as soon as I get home. Then I drink a bottle of water with a Nuun tablet in it for electrolytes. Then after I shower, I make a green smoothie with the following ingredients:
Coconut water
Kale
Blueberries or strawberries
a banana
coconut oil
maca powder
spirulina powder
Pea/hemp/rice protein mix
It's delicious and nutritious!
Whey protein is going to be the cheapest (BodyFortress at wal-mart is only like 15 bucks), BUT you did say you want to transition from ova-lacto to vegan, so unless you want to spend a ton more, be prepared to sacrifice taste in your protein.
Now personally, I use this and this together (since neither are complete proteins by themselves). They lasted me close to 1 1/2 - 2 months, but I'd be lying if I said it tasted good.
Checking amazon, I found Life's Basics on sale for about $15. I've used it before, and it's awesome.
