    That's a shame. Hope you get rid of it soon. My fave protein is PHD Diet Whey vanilla. It is soooo good!

    I CANNOT love protein powder/shakes, I have tried! I'd probably put it with lots of oats and fruit and make some kind of a breakfast crunchie shake thing.

    I had some nasty protein powder too so added some mint aero hot chocolate powder, tasted fine cold and made it taste minty and took away the nasty-ness.

    Have you had it with skimmed milk, not the best way to have it but tastes better than with water, although with water it gets to your muscles faster. also less water or milk makes it thinker which can be better.
    ive never had the chocolate one i use the whey protein isolate strawberry cream from myprotein.com it does the job.

    try amplified wheybolic extreme 60. I have tried so many diffrent protein shakes but this one was the only one i actually enjoyed. Its kinda like nesquik. Its pretty good in milkshake form.

    first, how are you using it? and two, have you tried mixing in a blender with banana, strawberries, blueberries, and mango, then add some milk about 1 cup. that's how i take mine and i fell in love with the protein shakes. i used body fortress chocolate flavor. it was the best. try that, hope it helps.

    Add some vanilla (or other flavor) no sugar added ice cream or fat free yogurt
    crushed ice
    water
    and if needed a packet of truvia and try it....

    I have chocolate too and it has an aftertaste to it....

    sugar fee cocoa or hershey's syrup is an idea too....

    I would get Nu-Naturals vanilla stevia droppers. That even makes wheat grass tolerable.

    depends how you make it milk or water?

    I cant stomach it making it with water, but with milk I can just tolerate it and drink it fast.

    Otherwise I'd add peanut butter, banana, make protein bars with it. Or get a vanilla flavour and do one scoop choc one scoop vanilla that can help the flavour

    What brand did you get? It takes a while to find a 'good' brand thats tastey. I LOVE phd diet Choc orange protein but have recently (due to price) gone on to Myprotein.co.uk and got their whey protein stuff, its yummers and LOADS of different flavours. PLUS you can get smaple bags for £1 for one scoop to try it first. yes it is expensive compared to getting the big tubs if you work it out but I bought a load of different flavours to try so I knew incase I didnt like them. So it works out :)

    My solution for that is cinemon and frozen berries. After that every protein shake tastes awesome :)

    I mainly eat protein-enriched nutrient goop for breakfast. Simple and with a hint of cookie flavour.

    2 tbsp peanut butter
    1/2 c dry oats
    1 scoop chocolate protein powder

    Put all in bowl, pour boiling water enough to cover and stir until smooth.
    Serve with cold milk for best results.

    If you are in the UK, Natures Best Vanilla is the best tasting shake I've ever had. It's like vanilla ice cream. I mix it with almond milk or normal milk and it's divine. I swear its good. I find the chocolate ones taste awful. I know someone who adds a little cocoa powder to the NB one and it's good I'm told.

    i love it with spinach and pb.

    I just made the same mistake with a vanilla flavor one, I tried everything with it, and wasted a whole heap of time and food cause nothing made with it was edible or drinkable, I finally gave up and chucked it this morning...I'm a snob and like my WNT protein, this stuff was a cheap and nasty mistake, a mistake that I wont make again.

    I don't like the taste either so I mix mine with any kind of fruit, and 8oz. of milk which helps get rid of the nasty flavor.

    This is what I do and everyone loves them. Even the kids! I buy a bunch of bananas and cut them up and freeze them. I keep a supply at all times. I mix a a frozen banana, 2tbsp peanut butter, 1 scoop Body Fortress Chocolate and a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk till its all mixed and it comes out about the consistency of a frosty from Wendys. Sometimes you gotta add a bit more almond milk to it cuz it will get just a bit thick. But they are yummy!

    Drop it off at a local gym. You don't need that stuff at all. Enjoy more eggs or egg whites, or chicken.

    I keep a container of cooled coffee in my fridge for my shakes. 1 scoop choc protein powder, a splash of sugar free vanilla, a splash of sugar free caramel syrup (or hazelnut or whatever I bought last) I can mix it just over ice and it's great. That's my morning iced mocha (and usually breakfast).
