I've bought two protein supplements and couldn't swallow either one!

[Caboose]

Hey everyone, thanks for the advice in advance!

I've bought the 4ever Fit Fruit Blast protein supplement and have never been able to swallow it. It's disgusting. I need some serious recommendations for a protein supplement or weight gainer that I can acctually manage to swallow without gagging or throwing up!

My dilemma is that I gag when I taste milk, so that rules out any "shakes" unfortunatley. Does anyone know of any protein supplement or weight gainer that is a lemonade or fruit punch?

I remember taking a lemonade flavored creatine that was fine. Was that because of the flavoring or because it was creatine? Does whey protein simply taste terrible? I don't need anything that tastes awesome, I just need something that I can keep down with ease. Recommendations and help please!

I was the same way too, but you get used to the powder.

Strawberry or Banana Creme flavored ON (Optimum Nutrition) is very good.

I stick with chocolate flavor only. The other flavors taste disgusting to me. Hard to screw up chocolate in my opinion.

Are you mixing it with water or milk? If I'm trying to lose weight I mix my protien shakes with water and they taste fine. Bulking now so I use whole milk and add a banana, some olive oil and oats...

I've been using water. I can't stomach even milk by itself and the same goes for chocolate, believe it or not.

Any of the nitrean flavors are good mixed with water. Same goes with most of the muscle milk flavors. Opticen is also good in water. Depending on what you want to spend and what you want out of a protein supplement I would check those out.

Eww I cant even think of drinking a fruit punch protein shake. Or even a lemonade flavor for that matter. Stick with chocolate or vanilla and you should be ok. Try mixing 2 cups of water, 2 scoops of protein, 1 banana, strawberry yogurt, and some olive oil/flax oil, together and chugging it down.

Optimum Nutrition makes strawberry and fruit punch which are both great alternatives for us guys that cant take the chocolate/vanilla taste.

Thanks for the replys, guys. Also, is there a noticeable taste difference between whey protein and soy?

Also, smith06, what do you think of the fruit punch from ON? I looked into it but is it any good? I'm wary but would rather try my luck with that than with anything that tastes remotely like a milk shake.

Soy protein may not be in line with you goals.

If you are interested in overall fitness and muscle building you most likely want to go with a protein blend - Nitrean is a good example of this. Has won awards for it's flavor including a recent Men's Health pick for their favorite protein.

if you have to go fruity type... PVL whey coolers are pretty good... they have iced tea flavours, like lemon and peach iced tea and taste awesome... I just found that they were too much because they were so sweet... but good as an extra to rotate in... I had some similar ones from Syntrax and hated them... which was surprising as Syntrax made great stuff... anyway, just another idea for you!

Agree with the strawberry ON. Delicious when I used to add my fruit punch maxy waize in it.

I looked at that as well. Is it a strawberry "milkshake" flavor or is it just a plain strawberry?

I would say just plain strawberry.

Anybody have opinions on fruit flavored protein in gatorade? I'm a big sucker for a G2 and with the current chocolate I find myself having to add ice cream to make it palatable (yeah I'm a wussy) and even though I've never heard so I think that's a bad idea.

Milk... Does the body good



So Drink it :fart:

[MisterX]

Get strawberry and make a fruit-protein smoothie or don't use protein at all and eat more DEAD ANIMAL!

It's not fruit flavored...but ON Vanilla Ice Cream flavor is excellent with orange gatorade.
