I hate protein drinks!!!

It seems like everybody's using ice in their smoothies. I never have ice when I need it. I do have a lot of frozen chicken. I wonder if that would work.

Harried man from the Legal Department runs up, pants for a second, and takes a deep breath.

"Please don't try this at home. We on the internet do not condone nor endorse the consumption of raw chicken, even in frozen form. We will not be held liable if you're too stupid to realize, I mean, we strongly recommend that you follow all safe food handling protocols. If you need assistance, please go to a reputable source on the internet like foodsafety.gov. Thank you."

A few deep breaths. "I think we're safe, do you think we're safe. God I hope no one sues us. Wait, what do you mean the camera is still on?"

Here, hold my beer.

OMG I laughed so hard my coworker started looking at me funny!

If your problem is a texture thing I've found that "soaking" my shakes help. I make it up the night before in a blender bottle and then put it in my fridge and let it sit overnight. In the morning I shake it back up really well and add a few ice cubes to make it really cold. I've found that soaking it gets the grittiness out and makes it much more pleasant for me to drink.

Another option is frozen fruit or half-thawed frozen fruit.

Eat real food instead of processed chemicals. You'll be way healthier even if you end up with a few less grams of protein.

I blend mine with instant coffee mix, doing this changed my life.

I think I may have just found an excuse to have my morning coffee again! (:

500 to 750ml of low fat Chocolate milk…. after your workout :happy:

I am in love with About Time. Great prices, great taste, great protein/calorie ratio.

I agree with the coffee idea (black coffee is like 5 calories per 12 ounces). Very tasty!

I also like the unflavored option. I love to sneak in protein that way. Or just make a protein shake with the unflavored mix and add whatever you like. Experiment!

VItal Strength and Black Widow brands taste like milkshakes too me i only get the chocolate flavor and only blend with 600ML of water. Get yourself a shaker to break up the clumps. I even use the powder occasionally on ice cream but in those cases it tends to stick to the roof of your mouth and the bowl and your teeth:)

but as someone else said if you don't like the taste dont drink them, they aren't a necessity they are a convenience nothing more, you could get the same from eating normal foods it would just take in alot more stuff you don't necessarily want in the process like fat and sodium

It was recommended that I drink some form of protein drink to help me feel full longer. I only get 1220 calories per day and to get 64 grams of protein a day i would have to eat nothing but leAn meats because I can't do dairy

false, you could eat fish, you could eat nuts, turkey, mushrooms amongst other things, how do you think Vegans get by? they dont eat animal products period and vegetarians dont eat meat yet they can get enough protein.

and protein shakes contain dairy products useally in the form of Whey powder which is the left over bits of making milk and cheese so if you cant do dairy you cant do whey

Oh I like Muscle Milk chocolate. Right now I have the GNC brand Wheybolic something something vanilla. It's just ok. I used to blend the Muscle Milk with almond milk and ice and really like it (because sweetener, I'm sure). The Wheybolic isn't good blended. Better just shaken up. Again with almond milk.

My favorite is Greek yogurt, frozen strawberries, milk, and a little splenda and vanilla. Tastes delicious, plenty of protein. No powder.

I honestly just bought a small bottle of store-brand protein powder for adding into fruit smoothies. I didn't want to spend a lot of cash unless I found that I liked it. I don't really enjoy eating meat or meat substitutes and I find it hard to get my 145 g of protein daily, which can leave me feeling hungry.

Tonight my smoothie had 2.5 ounces strawberry, .75 ounces blueberry, a scoop of vanilla power, about 4 ounces of greek yogurt, and a 1/2 cup coconut milk. I added ice and blended. I'm really enjoying it.

MusclePharm Banana Cream taste really good

My main two shakes:

1. 1/2 cup of strawberry, 1 banana, 8oz of skim milk, and 1 scoop of protein powder - taste like strawberry banana smoothie
2. 8oz of skim milk, 1tbs of peanut butter, 4 ice cubes, and 1 scoop of protein powder - taste like PB banana milkshake

and of course, blended in my nutribullet

I couldn't stand mine, until I started doing this:

Mix 8 ounces of coffee, 2 ounces whole milk, sugar free vanilla syrup to taste. Toss in a bunch of ice cubes and (very important) drink with a straw. For me with 1 scoop of powder it's under 150 calories.

(The straw is because I use a whey based powder, which tastes OK, but smells yucky to me. If I drink from a straw, I can't smell it!

Lean1 is by far the best tasting protein drink I have ever had. It has 20 grams of protein. I love it!!
