Unflavored Protein = WIN
Mar 22, 2011
I don't know about you guys, but I am seriously over the whole protein drink thing. I just can't stomach them anymore. They're too thick, and the vanilla/chocolate/strawberry thing has gotten old really fast. I've never been overly fond of sweet drinks, and I feel like that's all I've been drinking lately.
So the last time I was in GNC, I picked up a small bag of the GNC brand unflavored protein powder. I'm sure there's better ones out there, but it was the cheapest option for something I wasn't sure I'd like.
I opened it up last night, and tried it. First, I mixed it with some water so that I could see what the true flavor is. It's not great, but not gross either. With water, it tastes kinda wheaty/nutty. So now I know that I can mix it into pretty much anything that would benefit/blend with a wheaty/nutty flavor. And it's not a strong flavor, so I might be able to sneak it into really strong flavored things unnoticed.
I haven't tried it in a lot of things yet...I'll get there. But just now I mixed half a scoop into 8 oz of milk...OMG YUM! It tastes kinda like the milk left over after you eat cereal. I LOVE cereal milk, so this is a major winner for me. So now instead of 8g of protein in my 8oz of milk, I'll get 18.5g (21g of protein per scoop, but only used half a scoop).
Milk goes down easier than water for me (weird, I know), so I'm super excited about this extra boost of protein. I'm going to keep trying out my unflavored protein powder in lots of things, and I'll post those results as well.
