Liquid Fish Oil in Protein Shake?

[groundkontrol]

I usually add two teaspoons of olive oil into my shakes (12oz milk + 2 scoops of True Mass) and I cannot taste the olive oil at all. I'm thinking about replacing the olive oil with liquid fish oil though (probably Carlon's orange flavored). I'm wondering if the fish oil taste will be masked by the shake's other flavors. Does anyone mix liquid fish oil in with their shakes? if so, how bad/good is it? Thanks.

I have added fish oil liquid to a shake before but I don't so it on a regular basis. I used Barleans Omega Swirl Lemon or Peach Mango. This is probably the best tasting emulsified fish oil on the market.....refrig. required at all times with this fish oil.

How about ground flax seed or flax oil?

idk what fish oil tastes like, I take the caps. I can't taste flax blended in.

How about eating some fish and dropping the protein shake?

I know, I know. It's a wild idea to eat whole foods as apposed to extracts from whole foods and processed forms of protein.

I actually gagged reading this thread title. My fish oil caps smell terrible, I can't imagine the flavor.

Are you able to taste the fish oil in the shake? And how much do you use?

i put Cod Liver Oil in every protein shake i have (twice a day).

i take Cod Liver Oil Forte by Genestra, and its actually really tasty and ADDS to the flavour of my shake. There is no "fishy" taste

this particular oil was highly recommended by my Naturopath

Get the orange flavour. All you taste is a hint of orange. 1 tblsp in the shake is enough

Word of advice. Never ever drop a fish oil cap into a blender. I once did this for someone who did not like to swallow the typical "horse pill" size of a fish oil cap. Let's just say the shake will be ruined.

my thought as well.

I thought the idea of adding fish oil to shakes was completely disgusting, but the reality is not at all! As has already been mentioned, get a flavored oil and it tastes NOTHING like fish. Nothing at all-- I even eat it mixed in with cottage cheese without a problem.

FYI, if your fish oil capsules smell more than mildly fishy, the oil is probably rancid. Nasty. In general, keeping fish oil (liquid or capsules) in the fridge is a good idea. For liquid, it's a must.

If you insist on using oil instead of caps, at least mix it with things that have heavy flavors (like vanilla, mango, or tomato) depending upon whatever you're attempting to make. It masks the flavor without adding significant calories and stops you from having that nasty burping later.

just as an FYI, this is the shake i make, and personally i find it delicious
