all the whey chocolate isn't too bad. What about unflavored protein from all the whey maybe that isn't too bad.

 

[Tryn2]

I have never tried it what about natures best isopure that sounds really good but have never had it...?

 

[sawastea]

Syntrax Nectar...Molecular Nutrition Fruity Whey...Optimum Nutrition 100% whey

 

[OXANDRIN]

for taste muscle milk is #1

 

[Tryn2]

Never heard of muscle milk...I didnt like optimum its cheap but I thought that was gross as well...

 

[NorthNPrincess]

I like being creative with mine. I just buy the vanilla powder and mix with soy chocholate milk, sometimes orange or rootbeer diet soda, sometimes juices like pineapple, strawberry kiwi...I even blend with fruit sometimes like strawberries to get a smoothie....I get sick of the same flavor everyday.... Spice it up its fun!

optimum nutrition double rich chocolate is the only protein i've ever had whose taste i didn't mind.

it's even palatable if you mix it (well) with water.

Simple solution bro. Don't make the shake. Get a coffee mug, put the powder in the mug, add just enough water to sludge it up. Then chug it and add more water as needed. Takes a grand total of 10 seconds for me to get it down - so no matter how bad it tastes, it is over fast.

I mix 60% calcium caseinat, 25% Ion whey, 15% egg... somekind of ratio like that, with homo milk and noname chocolate syrup.. I fill the glass with milk, then add a scoop(72cc) and mix with a fork to break it up, then add a second scoop and stir again, then add they syrup, and stir.. Does it taste good, not really, I find it doesn't taste at all... At least I don't burp it all day.. I get like 70grams of protein twice a day with this method. The only thing it's not really high in calories.

I agree seems like the ones that have the most amount off protien and the best ratio of what I look for taste like ass. The new one I have been taking has a real sweet taste to it. I would rather eat a big steak after a workout but I guess that is not as effective as the shake. To Bad!

My first and only protein powder: Sci-Fit econo whey - Chocolate Ice Cream Flavor

even with warm water it still tastes good....but not delicious

Whey Gourmet by Pvl their Strawberry Banana is the best shit I have ever had,I drink it with water everyday and have no problems with getting it down at all 23g pro per serving and 40 cdn for a 5lb tub I believe.

Canadian Bros can get it at Nutrition House, everybody else, I am not sure

I always liked the taste

try designer non flavored.. thats what I use... you can't taste it at all, but then again I spend time making them. I use OJ,straw berries and ice and blend it all up its good though i love them.

I've heard that optimum nutritions chocolate and mint chocolate is awesome though

I bought this to give it a try it is way to sweet my biggest complaint about most shakes is they are too sweet. Makes it hard to get them down.
Every try the pina colada one by pvl?
Anybody know of a shake that is not super sweet like a dark chocolate flavour or something?

 

[Buddy_Christ]

i like the shakes sweet, but that just helps to satisfy my sweet tooth so i don't go looking elsewhere for it.

optium nutrition's chocolate isn't bad. i've had IDS Vanilla Cinnamon, and while the taste isn't bad, it gives me HORRENDUS gas, plus it was almost twice the price because it's an isolate.

Currently using a Vanilla Cake by IRON-TEK. it's not bad. you could probably mix some fruit in with that no problem. i was told to blend it with strawberries and it'd taste just like a strawberry shortcake. havn't tried it, i can handle it plain.

Descanting - mixing it with a fork...that's awesome! just tried that and it really mixes it faster.

 

[KWKSLVR]

Chocolate shakes are awesome with ANPB blended in a blender.

 

[theoak01]

cant say ive tried the pina colada, I do agree they are a bit sweet but its all I can get down without gagging

Well I've used Designer before and it does taste like crap. I'd suggest either NLarge2 (post workout bulking--tastes like sweet cocoa) or prolab whey, optimum, and myoplex. Those are all fairly good, though nlarge takes the cake in the taste category.

 

[Goldprospector]

HDT Pro Blend 55 (slow release) and HDT 5 plus 1 Whey in strawberry flavor are actually quite good, they mixed thoroughly with only a slight swirl...don't need to shake, and it is the closest thing to a Milkshake flovor that I have found. It is also one of the better priced ones out there too. try massnutrition.com

 

[JuicePimp]

I think over time all the brands and flavors start to taste bad. I have to switch ever month or two just to keep choking them down. And I used to like taking my shakes too. Lately it has just begun to seem like an unpleasant chore.

 

[junk]

Funny you don't like the taste. I prefer the taste of my protein
shakes over the taste of many real foods. Protein shakes are yummy. Try MET-Rx Protein Plus or Carb-FX (They are thick).
Also try Ultimate Nutrition Banana flavor.. yummy too.

 

[JuicePimp]

I just tried the Isopure Protein drinks. I cant believe I havent tried these sooner. They taste just like fruit drinks and have 40g of protein. And no carbs either. I am going to start drinking these everyday, I figure 1 less regular protein shake a day that way.

 

[WGSteve72]

Just got my order from Protein Factory and I have to say I'm impressed... taste is great (vanilla), and mixes well with a spoon.. i'm loving it ... for those who care I got 40%casein, 40%eggwhite, 10%whey isolate, and 10% flax with stevia/splenda sweetneer

AWESOME!!!!!

 

[coldblue1955]

taste is no problem with me. it's the smell afterwards that gets me.

 

[Raina]

I love all the whey unflavored. I can throw it into other protein drinks or stir it into oatmeal. Even just in water it disolves well and I can slam it down fast.

 

[faller]

I used to drink milk and egg unflavored in water. Awful!! ON's chocolate isn't bad, but I really prefer the taste of MRP's (which I don't buy).

I just tried the Isopure Protein drinks. I cant believe I havent tried these sooner.

Probably the price that held you back from trying those...I dont know why people have trouble drinking protein shakes maybe you guys are thinking too hard about it. The only thing that gets me are the extremely thick ones like the metrx, I prefer the thinner ones like Pro Complex etc.
