    I don't do protein powders. I do have protein meal bars, however. Protein is not usually a problem for me to get the old fashioned way though....:happy:

    I'm taking notes. I just started protein shakes and have only tried two. Not a fan of either, but no real bases to go off of.
    Muscle Milk Chocolate and EAS Chocolate, both have an aftertaste I can handle, but not sure for how long.


    i just tried EAS chocolate...not impressed it tastes more like water with after taste

    Never been a fan of any protein powders. Over priced, Tastes chalky. Ratio of other nutrients to get the protein is skewed.

    honestly? How hard is it to get enough protein?

    Surprisingly hard for me actually! I can get it a lot cheaper than meat, greek yogurt and such ^-^ getting 90g is a struggle some days xD

    Jay Robb's egg white strawberry. Horrifying.

    As a person who had to be on a liquid diet for nearly 6 weeks it is almost impossible to get enough protein in.

    The worst protein drinks I ever had were:

    Isopure

    Unjury

    You could not pay me enough to drink either one in ANY flavor!

    I ended up with Body Fortress Chocolate or Vanilla. :) I throw mine in a Vitamix so it never turns out gritty or lumpy.

    90? I usually eat more than that for my dinner. I try to get 225g a day, that can be tough sometimes. I don't know how the really big boys do it in the 300-400 range.

    Couldn't agree more.. I don't care the benefits, if I can't swallow it without gagging it down.. Really rather find something else to take.
  • I've tried a ton and most aren't very good but I recently purchased Arbonne Essentials in chocolate and I love it! It has 20 grams of vegan protein and it tastes great! You mix it with 9 oz of water and I use some ice cubes. I also add 1 T of natural PB, 1/2 of a frozen banana and it thickens up like a milkshake. 170 calories before I add the PB and banana.
  • Jay Robb's Vanilla Whey is pretty bad. I'm suffering through it but it tastes like soap.
