Thanks Hollykim for sharing.  I should get a chance to try these after I make it through Christmas.  I have been so bad....I will need the liquid protein by Wednesday.

So glad you have finally joined us!!!!  

There are quite a few things that I couldn't tolerate early out but I don't have a problem with now so I'd definitely give some of the ones you didn't like before another try.   I'd probably order some samples before buying another tub.

I'm hooked on the Lemon Tea.  1 scoop in about 10 oz. of water shook up in my Shaker cup.  I can drink mine straight but since it's a milder taste (to me) I can add flavorings too.  I like the MIO peach mango the best but sometimes I add flavored crystal lite (Walmart brand).

Glad you are no longer lurking! Welcome aboard!

You already got some great ideas for adding flavorings to help with the tea.

I always try to order samples because I never know if I will be able to get drink it. Vitalady has the most samples available. Most of the companies also have trial packets you can order. I also have found some trial packets at the Vitamin shop.

I like about time protein powder, I use the cinnamon swirl every morning in my coffee. I also found that I like the premiere chocolate shakes, dont like the vanilla as well. These come already mixed in a juice box like container, love to bring these to work when I cant eat lunch.

I cant do the nectars, they seem too sweet and too strong for my tastes.

I have heard about several different protein drinks but never heard of About Time.  I will have to check that one out too.

Welcome! I bought a tub of the Lemon Tea too - and ended up giving it away.  Wasn't for me - but then I'm a northern gal and don't like sweet tea... 

Glad you came out of lurkdom!  I know my Michigan board has pretty much dried up too.

Jody I am determined not to throw this out.  Somehow, someway I am going to have to work with this tub. Money is too tight right now to be wasteful.

Not sure what is going on with the state boards.  It is really kind of sad.  Thanks for the welcome.

Glad you posted....not a tea drinker so no suggestions here...I am mainly a protein coffee drinker and LOVE my mint cookie made into protein ice cream (learned that trick from on here).  Please keep posting....I am shy too but this is a GREAT board!!

I like real tea.  I hope I can adjust to this one.  I agree.  This is a great and supportive board.

Don't thnk I would like the tea either.  in two years the only protein powder I have been able to handle is the syntrax chocolate truffle in my coffee.  Lately, I realized I wasn't finishing my cup most of the time and I freaked out because without that I KNOW I won't get enough protein.

For me the solution was to keep the protein but change the brand and strength of coffee I was using.  That, plus frothing the milk, has helped a lot.

Good luck finding a solution.
