How the hell do people drink protein shakes??!!

[heyson]

I have always tried to get into drinking protein shakes but never could do it, just too nasty. It has been awhile since I last tried, but I started liftingagain and I figured it would help out. So this morning I mix one up and try drinking it. I damn near threw up in my mouth 5 times but managed to keep itdown. I had about 3/4's down and then threw it up in the sink. It is disgusting. How do you guys do it?

suck it up.

its not that bad. which one are u using? ON whey tastes fine depending on flavor.

they're not gonna taste great, but oh well.

 

[nike590]

mine tastes really good i forgot the brand though

 

[neil likes poker]

Just depends on which flavor you have. Mine tastes good

 

[dyyhard]

hey, no one said they are going to get your taste buds going on overdrive..but it aint that bad...you prob don't eat your veggies either...add some honeyif you can't take it down or just eat more fish/chicken.

Damn... tastes like chocolate milk to me ... suck it up

 

[rocketzballa23]

I've tried a bunch of different brands and I like Myoplex the best. It seems to be a bit more expensive, but it tastes pretty good.

Whey protein shakes are hella good. strawberry flavor. I dont know what your talking about

 

[iceymike]

they dont taste good like some of you guys are saying. but its still not THAT bad

 

[eaglestg]

I drink the Whey one. It's doesnt taste good but I drink it anyway.

 

[rocketzballa23]

^Some taste REALLY good, I look forward to drinking them during the day

 

[gettin it crackin]

It's good.

I love my chocolate whey protein shakes. I could drink them at any time of the day...preferably before other drinks.

Ridiculously good when mixed with chocolate weight gainer...

no i in fact do eat my veggies. im using metrx myosin plus vanilla. 3 cups with milk. its like im swallowing powder and i did follow the directions correctly.

I don't understand protein shakes and bars. Most shakes have about 40 grams of portei nand bars have less and they taste terrible. If you want to add 40grams of protein to your diet to supplement your meals, have a turkey and swiss sandwhich with some chocolate milk or a can of beef stew or some jerkey andyou'll get your extra 40 grams from some actual food.

try muscle milk. you cant go wrong. just make sure you mix it with milk. i use cytosport cytogainer (maker of muscle milk), in mint chocolate flavor, gottatell you thats the best tasting high protein shake out in the market.

look at this ol' jared from subway dude

...

homie, half of the reason why people use protein shakes is becausethey don't have easy access to protein enriched foods, hence the word "supplement." You're supplementing a shake for foods that may be toomuch of a hassle to prepare (like meat) or too expensive (like chicken breasts and 93% lean meats). Protein shakes do the job.

That, my friend, is the big thing with Protein Powder, you don't need to get the extra junk that comes with that "real food" if all you want isthe protein, plus it doesnt hurt to get the other helpful Vitamins and such. Knowledge is power

Try a new brand and try maybe mixing with water. It's pretty much that simple (if you currently dont like your product). You shouldnt be having to force itdown like that.

Also depending on your size, 3 scoops with milk in the morning could be sorta OD (if im reading that right)

My friend, you need to get a blender, some Bananas, Strawberries, Ice, Ice cream or sherbert, and some concentrated fruit Juice (Frozen lemonade, orange juice,or other fruit juice you like). Mix the protien mix in with that and blend it untill you have a nice smoothie that's delicious. Kiwi and Watermellon alsomake great shake fruits. Never use an apple though.

Most of your protein should come from real food. Not to mention, you can easily find healthier versions of those foods.

Also, the protein powder you selected is more of a meal replacement drink (well it actually is a meal replacement drink) then it is just a protein powder.
