My protein shake is disgusting..any suggestions

[KBgrl]

ok... someone please give me the name a protein shake that doesnt make u gag when u drink it . i usually have designer protein and its just gross. i have to hold my nose and chug . i use myoplex lite...chocolate... as a MRP sometimes and its not too bad but i need to find a better protein powder. i see that many people add their p.powder into their oatmeal etc... and im wondering which ones they are using because i couldnt imagine the horrid taste of adding mine to anything. any suggestions... Phem.. i know u have a banana, pb, and protein shake things going on.. whats that about.. come on ladies give me some protein shake pointers here. thanks!

I was just saying the same thing...

I've been using Chocolate & Strawberry Isopure zero carb protein mix - its the least gross of all the really low carb mixes that I've used. Another is Extreme Pure Protein vanilla, but I can't deal with that right now.

Some things I've done to spice up the flavor is to mix in peppermint extract, flavored coffee, regular coffee/decaf and sugar free pudding (chocolate or vanilla). I mix this stuff with water so it doesn't do an awful lot...Mixing it in the blender with ice works a little better. Another option is to mix vanilla with a juice of some sort for a little more flavor, along with the usual water.

I also have mixed the strawberry or vanilla protein mix in with the oatmeal - its not too bad - sort of an acquired taste.

Like Crocodile Dundee said - "It tastes like shit but you can live on it..."

the pudding mix idea Sassy said is pretty good... vanilla pro w/ pistachio sugar free pudding is interesting...sometimes sugar free jello (lots of flavor combos there), natural pb w/ van or choc pro (mmm.... Reese's ), crystal lite w/ van pro

Isopure choc w/ Sci-tech raspberry is yummy together... they're both isolates- I never use these in pancakes to not destroy any of the isolate quality.

hope these may give you a few more ideas

I like the one by MaxMuscle. Why protein by Prolab is pretty tasty too. It always came with free Creatine when I bought it. The texture is the most bearable.

Phem's shake

i use Prolab (although i have been using another kind recently, nature's way? not bad...) basically i go for taste when it comes down to it...

1.5 - 2 scoops protein
3/4 cup soy milk
1/4 cup egg whites
1 T all nat pb
1/3 banana
ice

blend... (i really think this is the key, a good protein shake needs to be well blended, i have 2 of those hand blenders from braun.. one for home, one for work, they're cheap and great, and YES, they will blend ice.. dont' expect them to last forever though... nothing lasts forever, except for that kid in AI, but that was a kinda stupid movie anyways, but ya gotta love that kid regardless... and dang i'm rambling....)

as for mrps- i'm partial to the met-rx tastes like chocolate pudding (well that is if you get the chocolate one...) while i find all the other ones taste like cake batter puke...

Phem, what are you doing up so late?

anyhow, I just got this link from another board wholesale protein

They sell pretty inexpensive whey protein (isolate). The really neat thing is that they can customize it for you (protein type, flavor, sweetness, etc.)

I'm saving up for the supplements I'm going to need. I'm shocked that I'm saying this, but I can't wait to down an MRP
