Protein shakes suddenly tasting NASTY??

I'm working towards losing 50-75 pounds. 6 months ago, I was really good with using pretty much any brand of Protein shake. I liked the taste and it was no problem.

Getting back on the healthy thing, I really need to increase my protein so started making them again. However, same mix (Not expired) tastes absolutely NASTY. I've tried adding fruits, honey, yogurt, chocolate, peanut butter,ice/no ice, almond milk or water, etc-- nope. It still tastes nasty to me. No matter what combination of flavors, they all are tasting really gross to me now.

Since I have an allergy to all mio type things, the ONLY thing I drink is water or shakes. Now I cannot drink more than a few sips and I'm gagging.

Any suggestions? I know it's not REQUIRED, but it's convenient and really helps with the protein for me.

    I like the EAS carb advantage. I have tried many and like them for a while and then they start to sick.

    Have you tried a top on the protein shake or straw use? I use unsweetend almond milk or coconut.

    Is it just one particular brand that you've had since you started back with shakes? Maybe you got a bad batch?

    Maybe you were doing paleo and your DNA changed.

    I'd chuck 'em and go with something else to get my protein in - whole eggs, greek yogurt, nuts, seeds, legumes, lean meats, cheeses, etc. - not worth suffering!

    if its powder or bust then i think you just have to keep trying different brands.


    FYI- once or twice i've gotten a tub that just tastes way off. I gave the tub a very good shaking and it tasted more like normal.
