how can u stand the taste of whey protien shakes??

[SteveCNY]

i experiment with extracts.


i put a few drops of vanilla extract and almond extract into a vanilla shake and viola, taste just like pistachio ice cream

[SteveCNY]

It's all about brand and make sure you get one that will mix with what you want to drink it with. Some is only made to mix with water so if you mix it with milk it will be chunky. I second the Double Chocolate Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard. I mix it with water or milk using a spoon and it slides down smooth every time.

ON makes a flavor now EXTREME CHOCOLATE and its so much better than double rich chocolate

[Axle Foley]

wen ever i taste it i start to back away from it and dont finish it. is there a recipe that will go good with a vanilla flavor.

Totally understandable. Send whatever you have left to me.

[dasa]

1 sscoop vanilla protein
1.5 cups of milk
1 banana

1 tablspoon almond butter (optional)

a few icecubes

Sounds good I will have to try that.

I hated whey shakes when I first started, but that's because I was being cheap and buying inexpensive brands (ON included... I reeeeeeaallly don't like ON's chocolate).

I knew that the whey shakes were necessary for my goals though, so throughout a few months, I went on a quest to find the best tasting brands.

My favorites:

- Cytosport's Muscle Milk - Strawberry Creme
- VPX - Chocolate and Vanilla, but basically I haven't found a VPX shake I didn't like
- Dymatize - Chocolate and Vanilla

I have not tried ON's vanilla so I can't comment on that... after my experience with their chocolate I didn't even want to look at that brand again.

Some people just can't tolerate whey (the taste, bloating, stomach cramps, etc.). You don't have to have protein shakes in your diet...hell, you don't even have to have 800 grams of protein in your diet(j/k). Use whole foods and experiment to find an approximation of how much protein you need to grow. Some metabolisms don't need that much protein at all to see results. I'm an endo-meso and honestly could grow muscle with just 150g protein per day.

I can down as many whey protein shakes as I want. And I am going to start adding many oatmeal/whey shakes to my diet also(have had those before and those also work for me). I can pretty much down anything that deals with building muscles without hesitation. It is so easy for me to use my weight lifting knowledge to override my taste buds whenever I choose.

Whey isn't always the most pleasant thing for me to drink. I'd gotten to the bottom of a two gallon tub of ON 100% Whey, the vanilla ice cream flavor. I liked it a lot for a long time, but an experience a week ago ruined it for some reason.

My college has really hard water, lots of iron and you can taste it. The smell resonantes in things the water has been in, no matter how long you keep washing it. In any case, I put a scoop of whey in a water bottle and grabbed two little cartons of skim milk because I was in a hurry. I mixed it together at work and it had this awful after taste.

Since then, my whey hasn't been tasting so good. I bought the chocolate kind but I'm not so fond of it. I can't will myself to finish off the vanilla for some reason. Whey is integral to my diet here at college, so I just down it anyways.

[ticktockclok]

I got some ON 100% Chocolate Whey at Jewels at a bloated price, but I wanted to try it out first. It tastes great, so I'll buy some here next. I don't have any problem with downing it, so I don't know what you're drinking.

[Derk 5oFox]

These people that think that whey is disgusting confuse the crap out of me. It think it's delicious (even with just water)...one of the better tasting things that I consume. I know I have sensitive taste buds (I recently did the little paper strip test: and it tasted bitter; according to my nutrition professor, only about 15% of men are able to detect the bitter taste) and I still think they taste good. It might not be a chocolate milkshake or an Oreo Blizzard from dairy queen, but they still taste good. ON ftw.

[RussianRocket4]

Personally I love that chalky taste but im a freak of nature. I like to mix my chocolate whey in anything...cottage cheese...yogurt....oatmeal....dont really like water but mixing with milk and it tastes like really cheap chocolate milk.

[fish153]

I love Syntrax's Cappuccino flavor and Ultra Peptide's Vanilla or Chocolate are good as well.

[eyesonly]

ON is definately the best tasting whey to get. I wouldn't say it tastes "nice" but it's certainly drinkable..

Hmm... This is contradictory, unless you're statement is really, "There's no really good tasting protein", in which case you'd be well... wrong. Did you ever think that there may be a reason why ON is so affordable? Sure, some of the price of other brands is in the branding (had to throw in the marketing terminology), but another reason is the effort the companies go to in order to provide the best ingredients and taste.

Try other more expensive brands. IMO they all taste better than ON, especially VPX. As often as most of us drink protein, there's really no reason to settle for 'drinkable' taste (unless you're strapped for cash). I kept searching until I found brands and flavors that get me excited to drink my shakes. Now that I have, it's not a chore, it's a treat!

my first ever whey protein shake was GNC's chocolate...i actually really liked it..then i went and ordered a 10 pound bag of ON's chocolate...liked that too...then i went with a 5 pound tub of ON's vanilla "ice cream" flavor...and upon smelling it, i was in heaven...it smelled sooo amazing and i mixed it with some milk and almost puked after my first sip...that ****s nasty...so i finished up that tub and stuck with chocolate for awhile and recently got strawberry...nasty (to me)...i guess i really only have a taste for chocolate whey but then again i guess everyone has their own flavor preferences...you just gotta find what works for you

[sportyhp]

quite honestly i look forward so much to my protein shake, especially when i have it in the morning. i throw in the ON 100% gold standard chocolate w/ vanilla soy milk, a frozen banana, a few cubes of ice and sometimes a little bit of coffee

[Amel]

dude is only 13

he got used to moms milk

it takes some time to like the whey

hehe

j/k

[kyoshok3]

Protein shakes are tasty, if you have not been cheating on your diet.

Just think of it as a healthy candy bar.

[GetShredded]

wen ever i taste it i start to back away from it and dont finish it. is there a recipe that will go good with a vanilla flavor.

Shakes are my favorite. Vanilla Whey, Nat. PB, sugar free choco syrup, skim milk. This is the bomb shake.

[HomeGymed]

I put about 3 tablespoons of strawberry lowfat yogurt and 3 frozen whole strawberries in the blender with a scoop of Vanilla EAS Whey. Now it's prolly not the best because there are sugars in the yogurt, but damn it taste like heaven!!

[frostystruthers]

dont care for supplemets/protein powders? Me either. I eat six whole food meals per day and get in excess of 300 grams of protein...

[SiZzLaX]

Honestly everyone back 100% ON whey as being the best tasting proteins... But EAS makes he best tasting chocolate flavour i've ever had.

[Alfz]

Its up to you on mixing the flavours.

People here recommand drinking with milk.. but personally i HATE mine with milk...taste like total crap.. even the gay strawberry tastes better alone.. same with choc mint.

[crb824]

I drink Body Fortress Vanilla + Water...

I just man up... mind over matter.

[millertime2190]

just put it in some milk and hold your nose and chug it as fast as you can, thats what i do. stir it good and make sure theres no clumps big enough to choke on, haha

I find most vanilla flovored protein drinks to be gross. However I think Muscle Milk does the best as far as taste though.

One recipe I can recommend to anyone who doesn't like the flavor of their protein and isn't worried about calories. In my case it was Cytogainer Rocky Road.

Take the recommended serving size and put in blender(for wg's use 1 less scoop)

Add 2 tbs creamy peanut butter (honey flavored pb is even better)

1/2-1 Banana

2-3 Chunky Chips ahoy cookies

14-16 oz of fat free milk

3-4 ice cubes

MMM sooooo good

[Sho-stopper]

Honestly everyone back 100% ON whey as being the best tasting proteins... But EAS makes he best tasting chocolate flavour i've ever had.

It is good and for a 6lb tub at Sam's for $25...can't beat it!
