    I used to get EAS protein powder at Target and never had an issue with the taste.

    I currently use ON protein powder and it tastes pretty good.

    I didn't know bad tasting shakes still existed. Have you tried Optimum nutrition 100% whey?

    Oh, they exist... for Example, the Metabolic Extreme 60 Power is the most atrocious thing I have ever tasted... And I have a huge bottle of it, because I am not a very smart person...

    I mix mine with almond milk- not water. Only adds like 30 or 40 cals depending on which one you get but makes it more of a shake then a water drink

    ^This. It's the only way I drink mine..with almond milk. I also add ground chia seed, chlorella, liquid pottasium and sometimes a scoop of PB2. The almond milk makes it creamy and like a shake - wouldn't have it any other way :)

    I also tried a variety of different brands before I narrowed down what I like and so far the best ones are Jay Robb Chocolate Flavor, GNC Extreme Wheybolic 60 Vanilla Flavor, About Time Banana & Birthday Cake Flavor.

    If you're insistent on using water, try chocolate whey and heating it up a bit after mixing. Don't boil it because the whey will turn to curd, but it's more like a hot chocolate that way.

    Yikes :/ I use Target Market Pantry's 100% Whey Chocolate powder and it's pretty good mixed with about a cup of milk. I usually toss it in the blender with a handful of blueberries and spinach because those are things I won't eat otherwise. It honestly tastes like a chocolate milkshake.

    Dear God what brand are you using that tastes that bad?

    Try adding a banana and pineapples or some cinnamon and milk. Shakes with water gross.

    I try and buy single serve sample packets (Or call and ask the company to send me one before I buy a HUGE tub). Also where did you buy it from. I shop at Sprouts - they guarantee everything. If I buy it, open it, use some and hate it, I can bring it back.


    I use NutraSumma Pea (it's plain and not flavored or sweetened). I've used HempPro70 and Lifebasics in the past.

    Protein is good for you. try and find one you like. :-)

    Currently we have a tub of GNC 100% Whey Strawberry I have dietary restrictions for being a bariatric patient, that my doctor doesn't want my protein going over 110 cal/20 gram protein. the other GNC flavors we have tried that met the criteria were great bananas and cream, cookies and cream, mixed berry however this one is terrible but we spent 75 dollars on the tub and I can't rightly throw it out the window.
    However this morning I tried it with fruit blended with mint and it turned out great, no aftertaste or anything plus I got some fruit in :-) so for now I think I'll be okay.
    I appreciate everyone's feedback! Thanks everyone
