Cellucor cor-fetti tastes like cake batter. I mix it with skim milk.

When you felt ill, were you drinking it quickly? Did you have an empty stomach?

Something else you can do is mix protein powder into your cooking.

Hi - I am still fairly new to this and have been advised to go on protein shakes, the problem is, i have tried a few before and i cannot find anything that doesn't make me feel ill.

Anyone have any advice on flavours/brands/cheapest place to get them?
(I live in the UK, so some places i can't get from unless they can be ordered online)

Thanks

Cheapest is generally not the way to go. Cheap powders tend not to taste very good and also don't dissolve well in liquids so they are very clumpy unless you blend every shake.

I use two different ones

1. Isopure No-Carb (choose your flavor.) Every flavor I've tried is pretty good, two scoops is 50g protein and it will dissolve in water by stirring. I use the mango-peach flavor to make breakfast smoothies because I can add a heap of spinach or kale and it combines fairly well with the fruity flavor.

2. Progenex Recovery: Have tried all the flavor, strawberry is not to good, chocolate is the way to go. I use this post WOD for recovery. Blends easily in a shake cup. I use a double serving to get to 50g protein.

If you're in the UK, the stuff I've had from Go Nutrition is pretty good and not too pricey, but please please don't go for one of their fancy flavours - I tried the rhubarb and custard once, it was vile. Someone at the gym took it off my hands. The vanilla ice cream and the chocolate are quite nice.

I've also bought from Bulk Powders. Their chocolate one is OK too. I usually make them quite thick with water as they are more palatable to me that way.

I find it hard to fit protein shakes into my calorie allowance though as I still prefer to eat real food with the meagre rations I'm on. Got too much fat to lose.

I love Progenex products, but honestly, they're just too damn expensive. As others have said, cheaper isn't the best way to go. I've learned to go with middle of the line products and tend to buy in bulk, either 5lb or 10lb tubs. So far my favorites have been:

Cellucor - Chocolate Chip Mint
BSN Syntha 6 - Chocolate Peanut Butter (My favorite)

Both of these only require water....I prefer a few ice cubes to make it nice and cold.

I used to add peanut butter, vanilla, cinnamon, bananas and other fruits, but since discovering the above two, I don't mix them with anything else.

Progenex is a bit pricy, but I can afford it. I might give both the ones you suggest a try. Having it dissolve with a spoon in water or in a shake cup is pretty much required for me.

I'll toss in a second vote for BSN Syntha-6.

I had stomach issues with other brands, but really like the taste and protein blend of this one. It's not all-natural, but the cost (22g protein per serving * 52 servings for $50) and taste make it worthwhile for me.

It's really delicious!

I just ordered Isopure Natural Chocolate and Low Carb Toasted Coconut (I'm hoping it tastes like a pina colada! haha) Both had good reviews.

My son can't stand to drink the protein drinks, but he loves a Quest bar. Most have 21 grams of protein. They are made with Whey Protein and are 1 gram of sugar, high fiber and gluten free (I believe all are...I would double check the label). Just a thought. Cookie Dough and Cookies and Cream are delicious. Again, maybe pricey, but sometimes it's worth it. GNC was having a special...buy 2 boxes, get 1 free. It made them just under $2 a bar.

Tomorrow I'm going to try adding a couple of scoops of protein to my iced coffee to see that works. Chocolate and coffee should go well together

I'm going to give the BSN Syntha 6 a try when I run out of the progenex chococlate. the price is certainly right.

I've also tried Muscle Pharm, but wasn't a fan of the taste. I hate the fake sugar taste.

I also use Progenex Recovery because the taste can't be beat (for me). Loco Mocha is my go to. So good!!
