My protein shakes taste nasty!

[Sariat]

So I bought some Weight Gainer today from GNC... (Mass XXX, sounds like a male enchancement or some kind of porno training, lol) anyway, it goes down smooth, but the after taste is killing me. I added some ice to numb the taste a little bit, but its still that aftertase that is killing me! It's super nasty. What do you guys add to your protien shakes to make them taste a little bit better?

[Mychael101]

Try the smaller RTD before you buy a large container of anything. You will be glad you did because that stuff can get expensive quickly.

All the girls love my protein shakes ;)

[Tyrone Biggums]

[David]

Loaded with fat also.

Loaded with fat also.

Thats ok as long as you are getting the fat in your diet from the right sources and not McDonalds. I think in the RTD you get 17g fat, 350cals, 34g protein. That will easily fit into a 3000 cal. diet with room to spare. Shit will get you big.

[dewayne6243]

Best shake out there is Xyience XRTD. They taste awsome, 160 cal, 2 grams of fat, 3 carbs, and 30 grams of protein and they are small cans.

i just get the $15 six star whey protein at walmart with the chocolate flavor, tastes great :D

[Stangin4Lyfe]

Optimum Nutrition anything, Pro-Complex, Gold Standard, PM...etc.
Stuff tastes GREAT...stick with anything chocolate oriented.

Well, once again, DFWstangs has TOTTALLY missed the point of the post. I was asking to see if you had any tips that I could use to make MY protein shake taste better. like maybe add some bananas slices or ice, or anything you guys use

[GT-40 GTS]

I think they tried to answer by telling you not to
get nasty tasty protein mixes? :confused:

[sooner02r1]

Try BSN Syntha 6 or Isopure. Both of these taste great. No need to add anything.

Put in tons of sugar and get fat.

[black5.0lx]

or just get wat i have Pro Performance Weight Gainer 1850 - Strawberry Banana
and this shit is good

[Davidm97]

warm it up.....sounds gross but it works.

[406maro]

ill mix up fresh fruit in mine in the blender and it helps with the taste.

Any weight-gainer will inherently taste better than a plain protein because of thwe added sugar, fat, and simple carbs. When dieting, something like that simply isn't an option, you might as well blend in a snickers bar and icecream to a protein shake, it'd be just as effective, and cheaper. Protein shakes don't tase good, period. It's simply because they can't put all of the fattening additives that make food delicious. I view it as a necessary fuel, and taste is secondary to cost and bioavailability. Find one that you can stomch, and stick to it, it's likely the best you're gonna get without adding calories and fat that you don't want or need.

FWIW I'm currently using On Nutrition protein powder.

[Shorty]

I've always used ON powder, it's not bad with cold water in a shaker cup. I usually add a scoop of weight gainer to help out with the taste and add some calories.

I add Yammit to my protien shake it taste like frosted flakes and its the shit, aslo I add 1 tbsp of natural peanut butter.. Protien shake is vanilla. just my .02 :D

[D. Lil]

maximum protein froom gnc tastes the best by far just like chocolate milk and not chunky

[Al Capown]

My protien shake is ProPeptide creamy Vanilla, yes there is fat and crap but not much and its added into my diet. It also tastes good by its self.

[scottG_04]

Depending on what flavor of protein shake you have you can add strawberries and it will be f*kin tasty! Or yea pretty much any protein shake that is chocolate you will be able to stomach! Its gotten to the point where they taste damn good to me!

I add a few spoonfulls of peanut butter and a half to whole banana. That usually works. I don't know what that does to the fat intake, but it's good.
