Whey Protein enthusiasts, please help me! :)

I just switched to GNC's Pro Performance Amp - Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 rotein powder and I really like it! 93 calories a scoop with 20 grams of protein. I like to mix the vanilla in smoothies and I drink the chocolate kind with PB2 powder in either water or almond milk.

I've lost all but 11 lbs, now I would like to focus more on weight lifting for toning and definition. I have one major problem with whey protein, I hate the taste of it and I would love some help with enhancing the flavor, plus, any advice on which protein is the best .... brand name and where I would find it? any and all replies will be appreciated! Thanks a bunch!

You don't even need whey protein to "tone", it's just a supplement in the case you can't reach adequate protein through your regular diet.

This.

I've liked most of the Optimum Nutrition stuff I've had. Mixing anything with milk and ice cream will certainly help the flavor.

Funny you should say that... I tried the same stuff, and I love it...

Initially bought at 5LB bag of EAS Myoplex for $35 or so... Thought, "wow great deal...!!".

Tasted decent... But as I did more research, I learned of all the other options.

Tried the Wheybolic Extreme 60 (Chocolate) and LOVE it... Mixes/dissolves much more readily than the EAS, has fewer carbs pre gram of protein, and tastes much better. Also dissolves readily and easily in cold liquids (I've used water and milk, separately of course LoL...).


GRANTED, it is QUITE pricey... I use it only after weights (3x weekdays, AM). I use the EAS after 1hr spinning M-F... I plan to use a slightly less expensive protein after spinning... Bought 2x 3LB containers of Wheybolic Extreme 60 for $100... ($50 each). YES, it's f*cking expensive, and the name is completely stupid ("Wheybolic"... really? Alcoholic, wheybolic, systolic, diastolic, has no logic... :P), but it tastes great, I feel like recover very well after weights (super sets starting at 75% of my max weight), and at the rate I use it, 6LBS will last me 4-6 months...

Give it a try, it's not bad. But then again it's expensive, and taste is 100% subjective...

Just my "two cents" LoL :-)

I use this and I love it. I stick with the Vanilla and I just add mine to water and shake. It tastes great (even just with water), mixes really easily. It is kind of expensive ($50+/ 3 lbs) but it is a combination of Isolate and Hydrolyzed whey (which tend to be pricier). It says it has 17 servings but I only have 1/3 of a serving (usually) per day so I get 51 servings of 20g of protein out of it. Works out to about $1/shake.

Just find way to cover the taste. I use two scoops of my vanilla whey protein powder, mixed with 1 cup of Greek yogurt (even more protein plus great flavor), 1/2 cup to 1 cup of fat free milk, and strawberries (or whatever fruit you like). You won't taste the protein powder at all.

What you mix it with is almost as important as what you buy. IE. Peanut Butter mixed with chocolate protein powder and some skim milk and a bit of greek plain yogurt tastes like a peanut butter cup. Spinach, Carrots, Strawberries, Bananas and Peaches with a vanilla protein powder sounds healthy but doesn't taste all that good. Just as an example

bodybuilding.com has a lot of brands with ratings and supplemental information beyond what goes on the jar including reviews from people who have tasted it and taste ratings! I definitely want to buy from their shop the next chance I get as they do deliver all over north america

I like Jay Robb Vanilla, usually mixed with a banana, almond milk and some ice. You can find it at Whole Foods.

When I started using Whey Protein I hated the taste too. The easiest thing you can do is mix it with milk, it takes quite a lot away from the bitter taste. Now though I can drink it straight up in a glass of water. It tastes alright, not exactly nice, but very tolerable. I used Optimum nutrition double chocolate whey.

dymatize blueberry muffin is my favorite

Bumping for later.
Thank you.
