Masking Nasty Protein

Scott, I too have not been able to stand any protein shakes for quite some time. I did used to drink Premier which can be found at Costco or Sams club. 11 oz premixed containers in chocolate or vanilla for 30 gms of protein and few carbs. I drank them so long I got burned out. Now I purchase Mocha Big Train FIT Frappe powder from Sam's club. I mix 2 cups of water, 2 scoops of the mocha big trai, and 2 cups of ice and mix 1 scoop Unjury unflavored or chocolate flavored. That gives me 41 gms protein to start my morning out right. It tastes just like the mocha big train frappes you buy at the coffee houses. Extremely tasty. I cant go without it daily because they taste great I am extremely sensitive to tastes of protein shakes.

Raw cocoa powder.

Did you buy unflavored?

No tips really. I just chug mine down as fast I can. I dislike protein powder in every flavor/brand but you gotta do what you gotta do. I have at least one shake a day.

It's supposed to be vanilla flavored. I don't taste any vanilla, though.
I got one from Sam's actually that tastes like cake batter. It has some so-so ingredients in it, but it's so easy to drink that I think I will stick with it.

Oh man that's no good. Unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do except buy better protein.

I would highly recommend trutein by trunutrition sciences. It tastes amazing. Honestly a terrible product you won't be able to mask unless you add a ton of peanut butter and high calorie "stuff".

I just want this in my news feed.

Agreed. The choc pb flavor is awesome.

throw a TB of PB in it, add milk, and chug.

it cant be that bad.

on a more serious note, I have a vanilla powder that I'm not particularly fond of so I add PB2 or Chocolate PB2 to it. It doesn't add a ton of calories and masks the flavor pretty well. Half a banana blended in with the powder and either PB2 makes it really yummy.

this...

And use orange juice and milk as the base, throw in frozen banana or ice and blend. I'm sure that will make it better.

I agree that you should try using it in protein bars or other baked goods. I use unflavored powder, but you can add so many things to a protein bar to cover up the taste.
Have you tried adding cocoa powder to the shakes?

Add black coffee! I just did this and am drinking my chocolate protein powder with milk and black coffee. Went from hot mess to tasty mocha :drinker:

I user Natures best isopure Vanilla zero carb or choclate low carb, but... I can't drink them as they come. I make smoothies out of them. Much more pleasant.

Try 6oz Almond milk, 1 scoop Vanilla protein, 1 cup frozen banana, 2 tablespoons (or 1 in you prefer) or peanut butter. Add ice if you wish and whizz away in a blender.
