Protein shakes suck my ass !!!

[Tryn2]

OK for real is there a protein shake that is actually good. Not one your used to so now it tastes ok but one that is really good. I have tried:
optimum, designer,muscletech,eas,sportspharma. All taste like doggy doodoo. Anything I can do to help this ? I almost puke everytime...

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Suck it up, don't whine. Optimum Nutrition 100% Chocolate Mint and Double Rich Chocolate are amazing.

 

[haploid]

Depends on your nutritional requrements.

The best-tasting PWO shake( it has carbs )would probably be Myoplex.

If all you want is whey, ON Chocolate Mint is the best.

This is all IMO, of course.

Now I am with the Reflex Instant Whey.
One serving is 25 gr.
98.6 kcal/19.5 prot/1gr carb/1.7 fat.
Vanilla, taste good to me.
Anyway I don't have much experience with prot powders.

I tried the Myoplex shake, it was more of a meal replacement I guess or for bulking since it had carbs in it, it was chocolate cream and tasted just like a frosty from Wendy's if you just add cold water. ON chocolate is not bad at all, neither is isopure chocolate. But allthewhey.com's orange cream is too sweet it tastes bad.

i'm a big fan of allthewhey vanilla blend mixed with water. and the orange is heavenly when mixed with sunrise orange crystal light, but nothing special when mixed with water.

and FYI, i think ON chocolate tastes like shit.

I have never had a bad strawberry protein shake. All the other flavors are iffy, some are completely yuck though, i just threw them out after a few times of trying to swallow them.

 

[Ulcasterdropout]

You'll get used to them. I mix them sometimes....

 

[trialbypinoy]

try isopure, zero carb. i'ved tried a lot of different brands and this was the best for me

 

[FitBlondeChick]

Oh! I like isopure too.

I think ATW vanilla is horrid. Their orange is good though. This is with milk though, not water. maybe that makes a difference.

Tryn2 - if you are ordering ATW protein orange and chocolate are really good. Strawberry is good but not great. Vanilla, banana and unflavored are horrible. This is with milk though, i have never tried any of them with water.

 

[trialbypinoy]

what flavor? do you use the powder or the already made drinks?

lol.....and i think the strawberry is godawful (but the owner did say that they had a few batches that were real bitter, and that was fixed). did you have the vanilla blend or the isolate? i like the blend much better. also, i know at some point the fomula (if you wanna call it that) was changed. the first time i got vanilla isolate (last summer) it wasn't that great. second time around (jan-feb) it was much much better. the blend was alot like the "newer" isolate but i liked it a little better.

orange is decent, but as i said i prefer it with orange crystal light - then it's damn good. chocolate was drinkable, but i think i am just burned out on chocolate shakes. the banana would be ok if it weren't for that funky nasty aftertaste than hangs around and you burp up for hours. reminds me of those banana runts or something, but bad.

 

[Thresher]

I drink EAS vanilla it tastes fine to me.

I got my vanilla back in fall of 03, i still have about 3 lbs left of a 5 lb tub. Maybe i'll try a 2 lb bucket next time i order if its a different mixture now.

 

[excelin]

well i dont know how good they are for you, but muscle milk chocolate, and cookies and cream are bomb. I really look foward to drinking them every night. sooooo good.

Myoplex deluxe mrp shakes taste like liquid cake mix.

 

[wootoom]

isopure is the best thats for sure.

 

[Slyder190]

Try mixing choc flavored shakes with a scoop or two of Keto Cocoa and it's a whole new world for the taste buds. Evopro by Cytosport has some truley amazing flavors.

 

[UA_Iron]

if you're bulking then 2 scoops ON Chocolate + 2tbsp ANPB + Milk = heaven

you must be way picky if you dont like ON chocolate, thats one of the best tasting proteins out there.

If you're talking about ON's double rich chocolate, then you guys are psycho. I bought a 10 lb. bag and it tastes like straight ass.

If you're going just for taste, BSN's Lean dessert protein is pretty good. Scifit's Cookies & Cream isolate is also good. I do like ON's 100% egg protein (chocolate); its really good. I know I also used to like something by prolab, but that was a long time ago and I don't remember what it was.

There's one flavor that I've tried a couple of different times that I just don't like at all - chocolate peanut butter. I don't know, it just doesn't taste good.

 

[Gymbecile]

*shrug* Almost any protein I've tried not only tastes fine, I like them. Mind you, if you mix them with water *and not skim milk* Then ok yeah, they taste like liquid hell ;P.

ON vanilla = , at best and at worse

what can I say except stop having wrong opinions?


haha, j/k

 

[jeze]

I personally love Isopure. Im using the Strawberry flavor at the moment. Best shake that I have tasted so far.

 

[VictorBR]

designer whey tastes pretty good I think .

Post w/o I drink peaches and cream Myoplex with a 1/3 cup dextrose. Thick as hell but it tastes prewtty good.

i gave up on protein shakes for weight gain purposes. the canisters are ridiculously expensive (35!), they taste like crap, go right thru me, and INHIBIT my appetitie.

i can see drinking them if you are trying to lose weight as a meal replacement. if you are trying to get in more calories to grow, real food is a better way to go.
