Best / Worst Tasting protein shakes?
I would love to hear everyones opinions on the best and worst tasting protein shakes?
I'm trying to increase my protein and although I LOVE my meat I just cant eat enough yet to get all 80- 100 g that i need in that way yet.
So far I cant say that I love any of them but I can tolerate Champion Banana scream.. and although I do love chocolate.. I didnt care for the champion chocolate.. tasted bitter to me.
I tried a peach shake and it was pretty nasty.. I tried champion tropical sunrise and it was tolerable.
I tried some of the nectar ones and took one sip and threw them away.. ahhhh. I need help.
It makes it more difficult that since surgery I have more discerning taste and If its not REALLY good I just cant eat it without vomitting.
What shakes do yall like or dislike?

The ones I tolerate in cans are Atkins dark chocolate royale (something like that) and anything in a banana flavor.
Muscle Milk Lite (I've tried vanilla and chocolate) are putrid to me, as are Slimfast. I thought Isopure was pretty gross as well.
i've done a few of the protein shots. they have 45 grams of protein each. they don't taste great-kinda tart, but if you need to get your protein in they will work in a pinch.
i've also begun to add unflavored protein powder to my soups and i can't even tell a difference.
Since you asked..
