help w/ ON whey protein

[twigboy]

Ok I ordered a 10lb bag of the double chocolate because I've always heard rants and raves about the price/flavor/quality of ON

Im curious, it says every 5-6 ounces add one scoop. Is this correct? My shaker only has 25 ounces total so this entire thing would get 5-6 scoops (i know not to drink all that at one time, just being theoretical)

The reason I'm asking.. when I add one scoop to every 5-6 ounces, (I'm doing 12oz right now, 2 1/2 scoops before bed), it tastes like chocolate water. I can barely even drink it. It's like water with a disgusting aftertaste.

The only other proteins I've drank were those little RTD boxes of Myoplex and the taste, and even the consistancy seem nothing alike.

What am I doing wrong? Should I start using milk instead of water? Should I just add more scoops, or is this what is expected from a whey protein??

Um ya, use milk. That's a BIG DUH. Milk provides the thickness to it.

I don't know what everyone is raving about. I think ON's whey tastes like crap.

Try MRM's chocolate protein or Dymatize's. Both taste AND mix better than that ON crap.

I use water and think it tastes fine.

Get used to it. The less water, the better it tastes. I use 5 ounces and Ice. If it is not really cold, kind of tastes like crap. I just finished a 10 lber, and I have no complaints. I just got a 5 lber of chocolate mint. It took me a while to get used to it, but it's cool now.

If you're going to mix it in water, get it brain-freeze cold, makes a BIG difference. If you can tolerate milk, all the better. (I had to switch to water as milk doesn't really agree with me.)

HTH.

I think ON's tastes fine, as others have said colder=better taste, so does less water or use skim milk.

yea
milk is good before bed too it slows digestion

 

[twigboy]

milk will make me poop faster than the protein will

thanks guys

i just tried mixing it with chocolate soy milk and damn it actually tastes good

You can try milk it might improve it but...it is a protein shake not Nestle Quik...

Don't like the taste of ON. Won't use it again
