protien shakes with out protien taste

Generally the RTD shakes are less proteiny tasting but are expensive.

Maybe try mixing vanilla protein powder with diet orange or rootbeer soda. Throw it in the blender with a few ice cubes for a more shake like thickness.

Hi all,

What are the benifits of protien powders, do they halp with weight loss, even if your not going crazy with exercising ??

Try something different. Right now, I'm loving the GNC Total Lean Total Lean Shakes in the following flavors (BTW I only use water to mix with it and they're fab):

Orange Cream (tastes like the Push-Ups you used to eat as a kid

Key Lime Pie (Take a sip and you'll swear you can taste the pie crust)

Cinnamon Apple Awesome (Limited Edition)


If you're feeling wild, mix their Orange Cream and their Banana (1 scoop each) and you have a really nice orange banana flavor.

They also have pumpkin in the premade bottles. I haven't tried these but last year they had pumpkin in the powder and it was very good.

I didn't know GNC had the Orange Cream out? I would love to try that!!! Thanks for the heads up!

I give another vote for Syntrax Nectar. My favorite flavors are Caribbean Cooler (pineapple coconut) & Vanilla Bean Torte. The Vanilla Bean Torte I add to cold milk (1 scoop/8 oz milk). The Caribbean Cooler I like to use 2 different ways: added to water along with Dasani Pineapple Coconut Water Enhancer. The second way is my breakfast most mornings: 6 oz. Chobani Plain Greek Yogurt, 2 scoops Caribbean Cooler Protein Powder, 1 ounces Kashi Go Lean cereal, 1 oz. roasted edamame & 1/4 cup fresh pineapple. The yogurt mix is absolutely delicious & very filling! Plus it gives you >80 grams of protein!

Optimum Nutrition or MusclePharm are the best whey proteins in my opinion. They both have several flavors and good taste. You can even add in different things to make it taste better. I mix mine with almond milk and add in cocoa powder or frozen berries (I have the banana cream flavor.)

I use either vanilla or Chocolate powder. I mix it with coconut/almond milk and some ice cubes. I then add some SF coffee syrups like caramel German Choc cake or what ever else sounds good. Then add some plain greek yogurt. Mix it all up in a Ninja till it is the consistency of a milkshake...

Just water and protein powder is awful.

My favorite is in a blender, 1 scoop chocolate protein (body fortress, it's cheap) 1 frozen banana, a couple handfuls of ice, a splash of coconut milk and a raw egg, blend until smooth (add water or milk to get the consistency you like) . It's so good.

It's been said already; but, orange or orange juice and vanilla protein taste like dreamcycle.

Espresso (brewed is better; but instant isn't bad) is a great ingredient! If you like ice coffees. with chocolate pro powder you have a mocha!

Another great flavor is chocolate powder, ice and mint (extract or leaves)

Just about any frozen fruit and vanilla tastes fantastic.

Add milk and/or a raw egg (or homogenized whites for the weaker stomached) makes it creamier and egg are a "slower burning" protein. A little coconut oil or olive oil (or for the brave, an avocado! doesn't affect the taste as much as you'd think) will also add a creamy consistency (but be careful those extra's will quickly add calories) Greek yogurt (also adds the probiotic aspect)

A blender and a little imagination and you can make all sorts of great shakes/smoothies.

Tried a powder made from hemp in a strawberry/banana shake this weekend, not bad and I am not the protein drink type, thought I'd try it and I felt fuller longer.

Key lime pie protein shake:

1 Frozen banana
1 cup rolled oats
1 lime zested and juiced
1/4 cup peacans
2 dates
1 scoop sunwarrior

Blend all ingredients and enjoy
