Anyway to make protein shakes not suck?

[poopnut2]

Every morning I mix a serving of chocolate protein mix with a cup of fat free milk. This stuff kills my stomach for about two hours. I swear to god I feel like puking about 5 minutes after I finish it. Any ways to make this better?

dr pepper is my wake up juice :P

Mix designer whey with water and it tastes pretty good. Or you can blend milk, icecream and whey together.

Cytosport MuscleMilk, strawberry milkshake is really good.

[cool cat]

Try a different brand.

I wanted vanilla but they didn't have it. I'm not a huge chocolate fan.

Go the the smoothieking on Pipeline Rd, near NE mall. The manager there will usually give you one free protein shake to see if you like it before you buy a whole box of it. They have a certain brand that tastes pretty good, and mixes easily without a blender, I just can't remember what brand it is right now.

I'll have to try that this weekend.

Add your fruit of choice, and mix it in a blender.

I like to sleep in as late as possible. ;)

Also, cereal doesn't get me 29g's of protein in 2 minutes.

if you can get vanilla that will be your best bet. i know people that use pudding powders to change the flavor of their shakes.. fruit, pb, honey.. lots of things can help out :)

http://www.americanwhey.com/ they have some of the best tasting shakes around... i'm using them and have 2 a day.. with no problem... just add some ice to it makes it that much better.

I used to use isopure chocolate and vanilla. I mixed w/ water in shaker and it was very rich. I don't do milk well, yuck.
Also do you workout in the morning? If not wait till a little later in the day to have your first shake. Drinking that stuff on a mostly empty stomach(just before or after your first meal) can more than likely why it upsets your stomach if you don't have problems any other time you drink it.
You can try eating a healthy breakfast and save your first shake for your first snack, 1.5-2hrs after.

I usually add a banana to mine.

Pretty much all the flavors of Musclemilk are good, I have the chocolate right now.. tastes the same with skim milk or water.. Best tasting stuff on the market IMO.

[pntbutta]

Hmmmm.....

This would be my guess.

What kind of protein shake are you taking?

Oh yea! Isopure makes these really good pre-made drinks. Try one of those in the morning It doesn't have all that x-tra stuff. 40g/protein. I like the apple.

My favorite is ON Vanilla with skim milk!

[pntbutta]

Yeah, if that's what you drink all the time and just bothers you stomach in the morn. Just wait till after you eat.

As far as taste experiment w/ different fruits. Bananas, blueberries, stawberries, blackberries, soy or rice milk can change taste to.

You might try a diff. protein too. If you are trying to put on mass. 29g seems low to me? :confused: I could be wrong though. If it works, it works.

I pretty much can't stand any flavor but vanilla. I go with the ON vanilla, skim milk, and a banana in a blender at low speed (to avoid foam).

Strawberry Muscle Milk w/ blended strawberries and bananas is the best protein shake I've ever had.

I'm not trying to put on mass. Leaning out. Past few weeks I've gone from 190lbs to 185lbs. Went down a belt size and have increased muscle tone. I need to get my diet back in check though. I've been straying the past week or so.

[pntbutta]

Ahh. I'm wit cha now! Good stuff. Yeah, the diet can kill a man. It's kind of like building 1200hp car and puttin' donuts on the back, huh?

[pntbutta]

Ahh. I'm wit cha now! I'll stop yippin now. Yeah, the diet can kill a man. It's kind of like building 1200hp car and puttin' donuts on the back, huh?
