Chocolate Protein Shake

[Griz1]

It's funny how some folks like certain shakes, and others despise them.

I know alot of folks think mine tastes like ass, but I could eat it all day (ass too...lol!). Some of the others that folks have suggested and said were the best tasting shake, I thought tasted like sweat off a monkey's ass boiled over smoking dog turds.

Just shop around, you'll find one that suits your needs in terms of taste and nutrients provided. There's only like a bazillion different brands out there. Keep at it.

I have tried like fifty different kinds and they all make me sick. I just lift that cup up, chug and get it over with! It's all about the protein!

You can waste your money trying all different kinds of protein powder hoping to find the one that tastes just like a chocolate milk shake... but it's not gonna happen. Muscle Milk comes pretty damn close, but it sounds like you're looking for a low-fat, low-carb shake.

My advice: suck it up and chug it down. Sweetener will make it more tolerable, but you're just gonna have to get used to the taste of it.

I think I've lost all of my taste buds. It's amazing the things I throw in a blender these days! My family practically vomits at the sight

There has to be a way to make then better. I am trying to figure out how to mix them as a shake, in the blender, and I need recipes. How much ice, Splenda protein shake, fruit, etc. Any suggestions?
Thanks again for all your help!

As far as how much ice, it depends on how many scoops of protein you're using, how thick you like your shake, etc... There isn't a magic amount When I use one scoop(w/ 8oz liquid--- either milk or water), I put in about 4-5 cubes (probably 3/4c or so)... 1 packet of splenda per shake should be plenty... Fruit serving--- probably 1/2 a banana. Peanut butter---1 tbsp.

That actually sounds really good. I think for me it will be finding the right concoction. I will try different varieties. I hate having to spend alot of money though trying to find the right one for me. Thanks for your help!

Try different brands... different strokes for different folks as they say.

Also, I like it better with just skim milk, no ice. (if you use ice or water make sure it is filtered or you get to taste all the yummy chemicals from the ice and water, which seems accentuated by the powder for some reason).

Stephanie -- if you have a store that sells the protein powder, sometimes they will give out free samples....ask for some....

I like Optimum Nutrition's Double Rich Chocolate. I blend with ice, skim milk or Carb Countdown milk, water & sometimes coffee......

If you drink coffee freeze the leftovers in an ice cube tray & use 2 cubes of that + 2 cubes of plain ice, 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup milk 1 scoop PP & blend -- Cafe Mocha
