Blech!!!

OK... I've started trying protein powders, and so far, no good. I've tried unjury unflavored in my coffee... can't stand the texture and there's a medicinal after taste. I've also tried Nectar roadside lemonade... mixed it as a drink with different amounts of water. Also, yuck. Obviously everyone has different tastes, but is this what I'm to expect from all of these products? Does anyone have any favorites that are palatable? HELP!!! Thanks. Traci

HI Tracy, i had this problem in the beginning also. I found one called Jay Robb Whey chocolate flavor that i love. It mixes so nice in my coffee. I make hazelnut coffee, put one scoop of chocolate protein powder a drop of hazelnut or vanilla sugar free coffeemate and a scoop of splenda, mix for 3 seconds in magic bullet and i am ready to go. I love it. Smooth. It is a little more expensive then the others its $30 for 2 pounds but its worth it i think. SOmetimes in an emergency when i run out of jay robb i use Designer WHey from GNC..not as good but i can tolerate the taste. Hope that helps some. ITs a trial and error till you find one you like.

Ummmmm... what's a magic bullet?

It is a mixer, chopper, blender everything kind of machine. I love it, i use to for everything from my coffee to my eggs in the morning to chopping onions for my sauce to mixing cake mix for cakes. It was an excellend investment. LisaMarie

AHA! Where did you get it?

Hey Traci, Personally i would buy a bunch of samples on line and try all different kinds. Everyone's taste is different, and trust me from experieince you don't want to end up with a 100 dollars of protein shakes that make you sick (i have to throw out about 100 dollars worth of products..because they are getting old and i'll never drink them). As for me..i like the slimfast low carb...it tastes good..already mixed...and it's not too expensive. scott

I have gotten some samples... but only from 2 companies. Hopefully I'll find something I like. Thanks for the tip on slim fast... I hadn't thought of that. Traci

Getting samples...yeah I wish I had thought of that.. I just bought the premade Isopure at GNC. I tried the Grape Frost...it was ehhhh so so...better than the stacker 2 protein water, that was just gross. I also got Alpine punch and the pineapple orange banana. I also got some GNC unflavored soy and I hope it's ok I'll post about it. Kristine

I'm wondering if all the "unflavored" ones have some aftertaste!

Yah Traci, I've had the same problem. I still have not found one that I like. I'm just trying to get the protein in with regular food. I hope you have more luck than I did! Take care, Amy
