To the protein hounds .....

More of a nutrition post then anything " but " we all know the need for protien while on cycle so i'll throw this one out here to those who benifit the most ..

I don't know about the rest of you but after years of swilling nasty thick milk mixtures of gunk like protien powders this stuff from PVL is a real welcome to the pallet ...

" Whey coolers " 100% whey isolate , 20 grams protein per serving , 0 fat , 1 gram carb , 20 mg potassium , 60 mg sodium .... thats it ! 84 cal

The one i had last night was " Lemon ice tea " ... you could not tell the different between it and say nestle ice tea ... disolved perfectly in water , no lumps .

nice refreshing drink right after a work out enroute home to make a meal .

Anyone else try this stuff ? you can type in PVL whey cooler in your search engine and you'll find the stuff everywhere

do you not mix any sort of carb in there? post-workout is when you most need some carbs to re-fuel

No .. i just found this stuff yesterday , local healthfood store gave me 6 sample packages so i threw one in my drink bottle and downed it after my workout .

Yes carbs are important as you stated ... Thought i'd throw this protein out there for those who have not seen it yet as an alturnitive to the nasty milk based sludge alot of us are use too ...

It's merits as a training aid are up in the air ... it tastes good , thats about all i can say at this point . Kind of looking for any other experiances with the same product

very cool - thanks! have you tried isopure before? if so, do they compare? they almost sound alike... I'll check it out

 

[boxerjake]

isopure .. no

This is the first time i've tryed anything thats not thick white powder disolved in milk

I do like using water , thats for sure

I'll have to check out isopure and maybe a few others ... i kinda got off the protein powder kick for awhile because it was getting sickening .

thanx for a second option

Isopure mixes like better than any protein that I have found. Kinda spendy tastes not bad either. I hate the sludge mixture with many proteins also. Here is a little tool that makes mixing a breeze with any protein. http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/vm/power.html
I don't think you are looking for advice on this but it is the best mixer out there I have found, so I thought I would share. It def makes a big differance when you are getting 3-4 protein shakes a day. Mixes 2-3 servings of protein with 10-16 oz of milk very nicely.

Thanks for the info on the whey cooler product. I will look it up soon after I get rid of a few 5 lb jugs calling my name. It is always nice to hear about good tasting products. They are making improvemants in that department, and it about damn time.

My favorite shake is as follows...MET-RX strawberry blended with water and ice to thicken it up and a banana..I actually enjoy drinking them and crave them. So delicious..try it.

I get all my protein from trueprotein.com. They have any kind of high quality protein you could need as well as many other supps and they are flavorless so you can mis them in whatever. Especially like the whey isolates, you can put them in whatever you want: i.e. crystal light or grape juice and stuff. I have a 5% discount code any of you guys can use if u want. PM me for it because I know how Elite is about posting anything that may compete with their sponsors.

OOOH tasty. I have added fruit in with a blender before. It does add a refreshing taste to a protein that you are downing 2-3 times daily. I will have to give the ice and a freuit a try. Protein smoothie. Since everyone has added their favorite protein, I will throw in mine. I go through about 5-7 pounds of protein per month. I often use this site to get new ideas for choices. But the best tasting protein that I have found is Dymatize nutrition's Elite Whey. They have exotic flavors like pina colada, butter cream toffee, cafe mocha and orange dream cicle. It only has one gram of sugar but tastes like much more, and no aspartame. It is the best tasting protein I have found in the last 10 yrs of bodybuilding I have found.

optimim is best by far.. Vanill or choc.. but i have to admit it has to blended in milk to completley avoid the gunky taste. And yeah it's a no go with water IMO.. Will look into that stuff tho thx..
