Freeze it. The colder something is, the less sweeter our taste buds perceive it to be. And take a deep breathe; having lower protein intake one day isn't going to make that huge of an impact as long as its only a single day.

Either drink them ice cold or hot.  I make protein "hot chocolate" all the time.  I think it's easier to drink.  Be careful not to heat it above 130 degrees or you will get lumps.  You mix the chocolate protein powder with a little water in the bottom of a cup until you have a thin paste...and then slowly add ho****er, stirring the whole time.  Sometimes I will add a little peppermint Torani syrup...YUM!  It works for me!

I had a really hard time with traditional protein drinks early on, but found Isopure Zero Carb pre-made drinks that have zero fat, zero carbs, 160 calories and 40 grams of protein.  They come in a bunch of different flavors, but I only really like the grape or peach mango.  They are fairly expensive, but I would have been lost without them.  Hope this helps.

I'm gonna take a chance and guess you're drinking the powder stuff mixed with milk or water. I could never tolerate that stuff. I have to drink premade protein drinks. I recommend you test out a few brands and see if premade works better for you.
