Syntrax Flavors, *Protein*, PLEASE,HELP!

So, I'm still waiting on my samples BUT I went into Vitamin Shoppe and they had the chocolate truffle so I bought it and tried it. OMG, it's still disgusting.

For those of you *****ad about my experience with the GNC brand, it tasted exactly the same: milk of magnesia with a hint of chocolate. I'm getting really nervous and scared that I will never find some protein that I can tolerate. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong. I mixed the packet with 16 oz of skim milk. Is that too much milk? Should I use a smaller amount for better taste? I also put it in a blender with ice. Should I not do that? Is there something I'm able to add for better taste??

I'm getting really.....scared. I'm not sure that I'll be able to go through surgery without it. Someone PLEASE HELP ME.

Did you get the sample packs of nectar? Some were gross some werent for me. Could you get plain protien and mix it with crystal light maybe?

I have found that different shakes taste different depending on what I mix it with. Sweeter shakes are richer with about 8 oz of milk, and taste more like YooHoo when mixed with water. I started mixing mine with milk, then gradually replaced it with water to help cut calories. with Syntrax brand I like the Nectars. They are sweet, but not too sweet. I really like Cherry and Lemonade. Hope it helps!

The fruit hectares with water is all I can drink now. All the sweeter ones with milk make me gag. Twisted cherry and Caribbean cooler I like so far. So much easier to get protein in now.

I am also a protein drink hater. This was the only one I could tolerate, Pure Protein -

Almost tastes like YooHoo. Well, not quite, but tolerable.

But now that I'm on solids, I've switched to Quest protein bars. My NUT gave me the seal of approval on them and said they are excellent. You might want to jot it down -

From one protein shake hater to another.

Have you tried the walmart brand Pure Whey Protein, i know it sounds awful but it's the best ive ever had before.

yes you mixed it way too thin. I think it calls for 4-8 ounces of milk per scoop. Don't blend it with ice and use only a fork to stir it. blending it on any high speed will make it too foamy.

I also mix i.5 scoop of teisted cherry in 12 ounces of water mixing gently with a fork. I add this to a 32 ounce drinking bottle and fill with wter. I add 20 drops of Mio fruit punch. It is like lightly flavord water.

Nectar is all I use.

Sometimes we have to look at things as "medicine",put on our big girl panties and just do it. Are you looking for an excuse to not have surgery? Just asking...food for thought.

I will definitely try 8 oz when I get my samples. I really hope that tastes better. Thanks!

 Sometimes you need to just suck it up and do what you need to, not everything is going to taste great but you do what you have to in order to get healthy. 

Time to put on your big girl panties and decide what is most important to you and make the commitment to a few weeks of things that you might not love for a lifetime of health. 

I mixed my Chocolate Truffle with 8 ounces of whole milk and heated it in the microwave. It tastes just like Swiss Miss to me. I will not be using whole milk anymore. It'll be 2% but I'm not allowed to have it again until next week. Chocolate Truffle is the ONLY protein that I've been able to drink AT ALL and believe me, I tried about 20 or so.
