How do you make your protein taste good?

[Accipiter]

so dump the powder in a blender with some milk, I get that, and what else should I throw in there?

[Relentless]

shouldn't need to throw in anything else if it's a decent powder.

If you're trying to flavour it up, I find a banana is nice...

[Budiak]

YES! BANANA!

With some ice cream and milk, and hershey syrup!



I sometimes prefer to EAT my protein, but its just a personal preference.

[Blood&Iron]

I just mix mine with water.

If your protein powder sucks, though, blending it with milk and 1tbsp of Nesquik(~9g carbs) makes it taste like a milk shake.

Simple answer change brands
I had bought a 3 lbs tub of Isopure Perfect zero carbs. That stuff is great and it has basicly zero everything but protein 50grams. no fat no carbs all of it but It taste good real good. Then I ran out I just got 2 days ago a much cheaper 5lb jug of optimum 100% whey strawberry the same flavor I had with isopure and this stuff taste like sh$T I am really serious I havent bought many protein tubs im my life but my first one was great and I got this stuff which is pretty popular and it is terrible. i DONT RECOMMEND IT UNLESS YOU CAN DEALL WITH THE TASTE AND WANT TO SAVE MORE MONEY. I tell you this I will get my Isopure again when finis eating this 5lbs of sh$t up.
I recommend Isopure It taste good and dont need to add any thing. By the way what can I add to my strawberry optimum 100% junk

LoL, Bigkevin20, I here you there. The first time I bought a tub of whey I grabbed the wrong flavor "they were right next to eachother" I got home with the Optimum Strawberry flavor. (I wanted the vanilla) anyway, I thought eh, I'll just give it a try it was only a 1lb tub anyway. Oh my goodness I haven't tasted something that horrible in my life!!!! I dredded every min. leading up to the end of my workout knowing I'd have to face that crap! I ended up getting a huge tub of the Optimum Whey Vanilla Ice Cream flavor "wich I think rocks in comparison." I recommend it.

Do what I did with my leftover stawberry...add 1/2 scoop another flavor until finished. Worked for me.

Find a flavor you can stomach, it gets easier every time you drink it!

[gopher]

Blend in a few frozen strawberries and a few tablespoons of heavy cream. 4 oz of strawberries has only 10 gr of carbs and cream is very anabolic. Natural PB in chocolate protein powder is pretty good too.

[IceRgrrl]

I agree with those who said to find one that doesn't taste like old shoes.

My latest fav is Sci-Fit Whey Protein in chocolate-peanut butter flavor...yum! And less than $20 for a 2 lb. tub. I just mix it with either milk or water and ice.

eventually, in the name of muscle, you will eat anything

Very well said GuitarPlayer. I have often bought natural flavour to avoid any of the artificial $%#@ they put in most powders to sweeten them up. I had to plug my nose everytime I drank a shake from my first tub of it, but now I just realize that I need to down it and get on with life.

[freztek]

Whey is cake to drink down for me. What gets me is when you drink that last gulp of Creatine and all the powder that has dropped to the bottom rushes your mouth and layers your throat at once. Eww, gags me.

[nejar462]

:evillaugh: AccipterQ I know you've swallowed nastier stuff than that,:bow: :hump:

[chromium6]

NITRO-TECH TASTE GOOD, MET-RX WHEY PLUS is Excellent, My Iso PURE is Kinda Bland, SO I throw in some strawberry's but most of the time I throw in bananas.

[heathj]

Plug your damn nose. Just down it. I know you're used to downing things just as nasty as some protein...so I figured you should be used to it ;)

Yeah, like people like me who drink flax oil straight outta the bottle :alcoholic

[smalls]

If you plug your nose you can't taste it at all.

[David]

i just mix it with some flaxseed oil.

Through a personal trainer, I found and use 2 products together from TeamPro2. 1 scoop each of their Sport Food and Lean Food with crushed ice and water. It's the best protien I have tasted, and I've tried most of them. I use it as a meal replacement every day. I buy it direct from them at http://www.teampro2.com/. I had a question about other products and got through to the president.

I agree. The funny thing is that 100% Whey has good tasting Vanilla and Chocolate flavour (in water or milk), but yet the Strawberry tastes like anti-biotic. I added glucose to reduce the bitterness.
