Big Blast - How do you make your shake?

[jugarelly]

I got some Big Blast, and I haven't been blown away by the taste like everyone else. It seems most people like the Super Chocolate or Tropical Orange. I went with Super Chocolate because I thought I'd get sick of the Tropical Orange flavor.

I've just tried mixing it with water or skim milk, and it doesn't really taste like much of anything to me. Am I possibly using too much liquid, or do you think maybe my batch just isn't that good? The strange thing is that the powder actually smells pretty good. It just doesn't have much flavor once I mix it up.

good question, i was considering buying some but saw all those options and have no idea what will taste good. hope to see some good flavors posted here. i would think that you're just adding too much water/milk if it doesn't have enough taste

I just mix it with water. One scoop with about 8 ounces. The consistency isnt much thicker than water so it goes down smooth.

Im on my 3rd batch and noticed that the taste does vary from batch to batch. I can understand that seeing as how they make each batch to order.

what kind of sweetener did you use? if you didn't select a sweetener, there is your flavorless problem

throw in a couple spoon fulls of Nestle cocoa for some flavor

I have the Orange, sweetened with Stevia...tastes great with a rich flavor, even when mixed with water...tastes like a Orange Dreamcicle...by favor my favorite post-workout shake ever!


*** I use 1/2 cup mixed with 8oz. of water.

Yeah, some guys like the fact that it's just lightly sweetened but I think it needs a little splenda. And add enough! A heaping scoop for each 8 oz. If you like it richer, try a spoonful of plain cocoa to the chocolate and mix it with whole milk and ice. Awesome.

 

[jugarelly]

Thanks for the ideas. I'll try adding some sweetener and less liquid.

I do three scoops with about 10oz of water total. The less liquid the better. I get it plain, no sweetner and it is fine.

i just mix my super chocolate with milk and ice in a shaker cup and its not bad. i picked splenda for mine. i would try adding some sugar free chocolate syrup and splenda to flavor it up.

Is everyone else getting a scoop with theirs lol? I've bought four bags thus far and haven't gotten a scoop yet. On the other hand, I like the Super Chocolate better WITHOUT sweetner! I like the Tropical Orange better now with Stevia because of the taste and because its mixes better and goes down easily. I just mix it with about 6 ounces of water and it goes down as good as a 45gram scoop of regular protein. About to order some more! Never thought I'd even consider drinking a tropical flavor protein but it's prob my all time favorite right now. Just expensive.

Yeah, everyone is raving about the Tropical Orange. I'm going to get another 5 lbs in a few weeks, so I'll give it a try. I didn't have any sweetener, so I cut down how much milk I used and threw in some raspberries. It was much better. Thanks everyone!

no scoop read the serving size.

no scoop read the serving size.

Yep, it's half a cup. I just had an extra half cup laying around and dropped it in the bag for quick access.

 

[dmc777]

no scoop read the serving size.

Lol no shit if I remember correctly it's like 75grams but I was just curious if it was supposed to come with a scoop. I usually put 90grams in mine.

Oh yeah I prefer my orange with water also. Shit mixes almost instantly.

I just saved a scoop from my last muscle milk before I threw it out. I use three scoops of big blast which is a little more than half a cup.
