attempted again to produce a delicious shake and almost puked. tried some lemonade, strawberries, ice and nitrotech protein powder and it tasted like throw up. does this mean i need to go to smothie king everyday and waste my money there? maybe i will just eat a whole spoonful of the crey and chase it with some milk. any suggestions???     | ||

Have you tried Labrada Lean Body or Metr-x. The only MRP I thought was particularly yucky was Isopure. As for whey or the like, try using skim milk instead of juice. Also if no protein powder I just throw skim milk, lowfat/nonfat cottage cheese, frozen berries, eggs (whole or whites, or any combination depending) - and it's pretty groovy....not bad at all. | ||

I like the taste of both Met-Rx and Myoplex. Use skim milk, ice cubes too---I'll drink em warm but would rather them be thick and cold--sticks to your ribs longer. I like the chocolate too it satisfies the cravings. I guess maybe its an aquired taste because I can drink just about any protein drink and think its ok. I have to agree with BMOM though, not a fan of {Isopuke}. Definitely try the skim milk though. Just remember to add the extra calories, protein, and carbs into the diet equation. | ||

I agree with you dirtyratt. I cant stand em either. Doesnt matter what type/brand/flavor, or even what I add to them, I just cant seem to gack them down. I stick to bars.. now if they would come up with a powder that tasted EXACTLY like a vanilla malt.. I could really get into that! | ||

First off, any protein shake I've bought was chocolate flavoured. It's my way of thinking I'm cheating. I've had many different ones, like, Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey, Pro Lab Whey......I don't like Pro Lab....don't like taste, don't like the 6.5carbs... Op. Nutr. was good...but, recently I bought Sport Pharma's Just Whey......good shit man.....mixes no problemo and I have it with half skim milk, half water.....I will recommend this to anyone... | ||

ofcourse it tastes like shit when you mix it with lemonade!!!! just thinking about it makes me wanna blow slabs upon slabs of cheeseburger chunks... try it with milk or water,if it still tastes nasty try myoplex tropical packs.that stuff is actually very tasty i would drink it even if it wasnt a protien shake... i hope you dont cook,man i can just imagine the recipes you'd come up with..hehe.j/k. s()(...)/''..)e/''k | ||

thanks sour jerk! ok, i have to admit i like to try different things. i had the same type of protein shake at some store and the shit was yummy  you guessed it right...i don't cook. i cannot even make mac-and-cheese. i just don't have a nitch for that kind of stuff. not the ideal woman, but then again that is what resturants are for. i guess i will just stick to smoothie king. i waste enought money on protein powder wasted as i would just buying them. | ||

I use nitro-tech also - vanilla...try adding 1/2teaspoon of strawberry or orange flavored Crystal Lite...or use chocolate flavored protein drink and add 1 or 2 Tablespoons of fat-free, sugar-free instant chocolate pudding...makes it thicker and sweeter...more like a real shake! | ||

Whatever you do , never get Challenge brand. GNC had a sale, and stupid me saw " Whoohooo savin' money!" Well, I would rather eat dirt, if it was high in protein that is, lol. |
