Protein Powder Problem

Unread postby birdi_gurlie » Fri Aug 01, 2008 12:57 am

OK, this may sound like a stupid question, but... anyone know of some protein powder that doesn't taste terrible. I'd drink protein shakes...but when my dad used to drink protein shakes, if I used any bottles that he used for a protein powder with just the little bit of residue from the shake for water, I couldn't stand the taste of it. Any ideas?

Mix it in a blender with yogurt, frozen fruit and milk and it will taste a lot better.

Muscle Milk added to a regular smoothie, i dont actually drink it, but anytime my brother makes an exceptionaly good smoothie he makes me try it, and i cant taste it at all.

Yeah, I use Muscle Milk, and I just switched to the strawberry powder (it's a lot cheaper) from the pre-mixed stuff (which is pretty good). Apparently, Muscle Milk is one of the best tasting supplements out there! But yeah the powder was kind of grainy when I mixed it with water... I was going to try it with milk, but instead I'm just going to get back on my shake diet and put it in the shake!

Oh, and just as a kind of random side note, never add creatine to a glass of milk...NASTY...

i'm telling you, strawberry [or w/e type it is] muscle milk plus strawberry banana smoothie is amazing.
