Desiegner Whey Protein users please.

Alright...I had just about given up on the protein drinks, even the protein bars (I try to choke down 1 power crunch bar everyday...but honestly I think they're as awful as the rest of them, but frozen they're tolerable). But I kept reading that people liked the Desiegner Whey, and was at the Vitamin Shoppe the other day and grabbed a canister of the chocolate. And it's awful. I did one scoop mixed with milk. So...how to do you prepare yours? Tell me your secrets please, I need all the help I can get! Thanks, Aileen 323/219/150ish

Aileen: I am with you...so many people said they loved it but I could not tolerate it. Have you ever tried the Profect vials? Or the Any Whey vials? They are 3 oz. (almost) vials...5 sips...and they pack 25 grams of protein in those 5 sips. I know this does not help you with your Designer Whey but if it were not for these vials, I would never get any protein supplements down! Hoping to be helping... Jersey PS...the vials are nasty, by the way...but they are 5 sips of nasty as opposed to a whole shake of nasty.

Yuck, I hate Designer Whey, too chalky. I live on Nectar protein. So I hear you!

I agree...Designer Whey is very nasty. It tastes like cardboard or something. But people have different tastes, so that's why they like it. Maybe you could try using unflavored powders in coffee? That's everyone's new thing on here and it tastes reallllly good. Something very tolerable. Also, I use just unjury powders now. They taste pretty good, and the texture isn't too bad. Hope you find something you like! April

I'm one who happens to love Designer Whey. The only flavor I've tried and not really cared for is the Tropical Fruit. Strawberry and Chocolate Peanut Caramel are my 2 favorite flavors. I always mix mine with water. For the chocolate I take a measuring cup and put a bit less than a half cup of crushed ice and fill the rest of the way to the 1/2 cup mark with cold water, add 1 1/2 scoops powder and whirl it in my Magic Bullet. It tastes like a chocolate malt to me. I have also used frozen banana instead of the ice with the chocolate. Or, try adding a tablespoon of peanut butter (either with just the chocolate or with the banana/chocolate) before you blend it. I've tried many of the other protein powders people rave about on here and I couldn't stand most of them. To me the nectars are nasty! And I've got more than 1/2 a jug of Vanilla Very Berry if anyone wants it.
