    Try blending it with apple juice and half a banana. Chop up some ice first, then add the rest.

    Thanks guys!! :flowerforyou:

    I'll attempt those things.

    Tomorrow's breakfast shall be plain oatmeal with a scoop of the nasty banana stuff and walnuts. Hoping it'll be slightly similar to banana nut. Haha. I hope for too much....

    I always went with vanilla, strawberry or chocolate powder in 1 percent milk. I need to get some too, i'm going with flavorless so i can just mix it into anything. I wish i'd kept the name of the brand i had.

    Good luck! It sucks when you don't like it. I personally love my shakes. Hopefully you will find a recipe you like.

    I tried my friend's phase 8 cookies and cream and honestly it's worth the extra 100 calories than this nastiness sooo..I'll try to make a slight dent in this 3 lb jar and then order that one..

    Add some sugar free chocolate pudding mix to it, or whatever flavor you like. I learned that trick from a friend here after we both bought the same brand of nasty cookies & cream. Maybe even peanut butter or PB2 would save it. I think I added a half or whole tablespoon. I don't think it needed more than that.

    I have done this on many ocassions. Believe me fruit punch Beef protein is no walk in the park when mixed with Bio GRO, Raw Eggs. There are alot of bad tasting proteins out there, unfortunately they are usually the best quality.

    I bought a sample pack of Vega chocolate flavored protein, because at the time I didn't think anyone could screw up chocolate. It tasted like muddy broccoli water. There's another one for you not to try. :drinker:

    Doubt it. It's opened and I got it online. I'll look at their return policy though..but it's a pretty small site I got it from so prob not..
  • Try mixing in with some cottage cheese & honey perhaps

    I use a vanilla egg white protein (MRM) and it's delicious! I put it in my green smoothies every day ????
