i just wanted to know what kind of protein do you ladies use... the one that i tried tasted so bad that i couldn't force myself to choke it down. there's gotta be one out there that doesn't taste like complete crap! :rolleyes:
 
Designer Whey also has fewer g. protein for the serving size. Only has 18 g per 90 cal of 1 serving. If I were using that I would consider "1 serving" == 180 g / 36 g protein.

Unless you are using a mass gainer, you should be getting about 35g out of a single serving of protein mix. The "serving size" stated on the container may not be that but you can increase or decrease your "scoops" to get roughly 35 g of protein. But also watch the g of fat & carb.
 
Everyone is different, and the 1 that doesn't make me want to toss my cookies, ay be the 1 that makes you. lol

For example my boyfriend swears by Nitro-Tech, but I can not for the life of me get that down.

The ones I use the most (my a protein shake junkie, always trying new ones out) are:

allthewhey( only problem with is the last time I ordered it took them 3 weeks to get me my protein, usually it takes 3 days, something to do with customs :rollingeyes: ),

MVPnutrition protein is really good (only tried this because my friend works for the company and she gave me some free samples) but there stuff is very good.

I also am taking a casinate protein right now, but this is strictly a night time protein, because it digests slowly. It tastes gross though. lol
 
I like the taste of Optimum Nutrition as well as the Sportpharma brands......

I always drink Designer Whey in chocolate or strawberry. It has lower calories than many other types.
I love designer whey strawberry.Been drinking it for years.It taste great.
 
speaking of tossing cookies....I won't ever be able to down what my mom drinks.....it's called Thermo Tropic. :worried: But it's more for weight loss. strawberry taste my a;);)

I use GNC 100% whey protein, 20g protein, 5g carbohydrates, 110 cals... I'm sure there are better out there though!

I have only tried the Optimum and I don't see me changing any time soon. I love the flavours.

Miss24k, what casinate protein whey do you take @ night? Thx
 
Annie it's called Solution Nutrition, pure casinate is kinda difficult to find, here anyway.

Optinum nutrition protein girlies, have y'all tried the chocolate mint flavour?

Which 1 is the best flavour?

Post #15 ;) , have you had the ON chocolate mint, if so is it good?

Which is your favorite, I want to try ON protein next cause they have some yummy sounding flavors, but not sure which I should try.

Duh!! Sowwy!!

Actually, NO I haven't tried the Choc. Mint yet, cuz at my nutrition store, they only sell it in the 5lb tubs & I've been afraid to buy that large of a container......

I WAS looking on http://www.dpsnutrition.net/ and they sell Next Nutrition's Choc. Peanut Caramel & Tropical Punch flavors. I want to try them.....
 
Thanks Miss24k about the casinate whey. Is Solution Nutrition difficult to find, can i find it @ Vitamin Shoppe? I hope its low in sodium cause i'm lookin for one that isn't so high in this. So many have this, don't know why manufactors have to load up so high in the sodium dept.??? Anyway, the ON in choc. mint is awesome especially if you add it to milk over water, like the choc. soy milk. Totally awesome, the bomb, i love it for a treat on the weekends and yes i by the 5lb. tubs cause its so great tasting. :)

Well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Jens??????????????????????????????????????????

I give my vote to Rocky Road. I bought 5lbs of Rocky Road and 5lbs of Vanilla Ice-Cream. Let's just say Vanilla Ice-Cream is pretty unused right now. :) But I'm sure eventually I will get sick of Rocky Road after 5 friggin' pounds and the Vanilla Ice-Cream will start tasting good...I notice my taste buds are very fickle with protein shakes.
 
I LOVE the Designer Whey Choc. Peanut Caramel!! YUM!!

I also liked the Designer Whey Tropical Punch -- sweet but not overly so. A nice treat/change.....
 
Here is a link to the protein blend I use. It's great, it has flax seed oil, l-glutamine and amino acids in it already!

The chocolate is the best. I add my pb to it in the am. I use the vanilla post-workout and add some strawberries to it for carb intake...Delish :p

I always do 1 1/2 scoop, which is 188 cals, 3 g fat, 7.5 g carbs (0 sugars) and 33 g protein.
