Chocolate Protein Shake

[STEPHANIEANDJ]

I had the worst experience today. I drank my first protein shake, and it was disgusting... Please give me some sort of advice on brands, receipes, advice, and flavors that you all enjoy. Thanks for all your help!

Rooks should use a blender, skim or 1% milk, add some splenda or davichii sugar free syrups.............maybe try andding some oats or cottage cheese into the blender to thicken it up, but don't be afraid to sweeten it up with some splenda........also, anpb goes a long way to making it tollerable.........

Soon enough, you'll be able to use whey, h20 and a shaker and just put it down.......

Get the Whey stuff from costco. Mix with skim milk. It will taste just like chocolate milk. Plus, it is very cheep. Avoid the Vanilla.

I drink Fat Free Milk, could that make a difference? The shake I drank was Bioflex Whey Protein chocolate shake with fat free milk and it was gross. I didn't know how to make the actual shake, How much ice, powder, and splenda to use. Thanks for your help both of you!

I really like the Chocolate Mint 100% Whey Protein by Optimum Nutrition. http://www.bulknutrition.com/?products_id=384 Before I tried it someone told me that it reminded them of the Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies... and it does! Very yummy And Cheap, too.

Ps... I don't recommend the Cookies and Cream flavor!

Hey Mandy!
Thanks! I am at Fort Lewis, I saw you are in Washington State also. Is it high in carbs and sugar? I am trying to lose 50 pounds and need to add another meal to my diet, so that is why I am doing the protein shake thing. How do you mix it, with water or milk? Thanks again,
Stephanie

Oh, and I usually just mix it with 1 cup of water (per scoop, which I typically only use one at a time). I will use 1/2c FF Milk with 1/2c water occasionally . It's pretty sweet on it's own, and I don't use an additional sweetener, but a friend of mine that I made one for only likes it with a packet of splenda mixed in Which is perfectly fine.

My best friend Rachel (asoldiersheart) is from the Tri-cities! I will order it today, sounds like the perfect mix for me, and I cannot believe it tastes good with water! Thanks for all of your help!
