Protein powder makes me gag!

What flavor did you get? Are you just mixing it with water? try making a smoothie with milk (real or almond or soy or what ever) and a banana, maybe some cocoa, or berries. Is it something about the texture or the taste do you think?

I have a chocolate protein powder and when mixed with water it succccks and makes me gag too.

I have found a protein brownie mix though that I make and it helps me to get in my protein, while having a treat, and not wasting the nasty powder.

I mix 6 scoops of my powder, (37g each) 3 egg whites, & 6 oz of unsweetened applesauce. (I usually add a serving of chocolate chips too for a little tastey extra..lol) Heat oven to 350... bake about 5 minutes... You really don't bake them that long. If you bake them too long, they will be all chalk like (DRY!) and if you don't don't bake them long enough they are super gooey. So you will have to try to find somewhere where inbetween.

For a batch of 9 the calorie content per is about 100 with like 16g of protein per brownie. (This will change depending on what powder you use!)

great ideas . i have problems with the taste and stomach issues with milk. I split it up in the morning.
i have a berry shake whn i first wake up which i put 1/2 teh protein . then the other half is added to my cereal (about hour later)and i sweeten it with cinnamon and coconut milk and blueberries.

I got vanilla, I mixed it with 16 oz of water to make it where I couldn't really taste it, I mainly tasted water with a hint of vanilla. So I'm not sure why it made me gag, probably my mind going crazy haha I'll try hiding in a smoothie and such thanks!

I have vanilla too, I mix it with part milk, part water and a little chocolate powder, and it tastes like a milkshake! Try mixing it with something other than just water!

Good luck!

try body by vi, not so much gagging as it is getting tired of doing it everyday.

Yeah, you just can't mix it with water. I've been doing 8 ounces of coffee, a scoop of chocolate protein powder and about 1/4 cup of milk which would totally work with your vanilla powder too...

Wheyfactors unflavored is good if you mix it with water and add some Crystal Light. I also add it to Carnation Instand Breakfast dark chocolate flavor. Yumm

I use Dymatize Nutrition Gourmet Chocolate protein and mix 1 scoop with 8oz black coffee and loads of ice...shake it up and you've got a delicious mocha protein drink in the morning! I get my morning protein, and my morning coffee all in one go

Honestly, I hated the taste of protein powders myself. But a friend at work told me to take 8 oz of Soy Silk Chocolate milk and mix it with 1/2 scoop of Whey Protein and 1/2 scoop Soy Protein. (I bought chocolate flavor for both) I even add a banana to the mix. I drink it an hour after my workouts to build lean muscle and it has worked so far. The inches are going and the healthy feeling is awesome. If you got the vanilla flavored Soy Silk and mixed in a fruit it probably would taste just fine. I love my mix every morning.....It taste like a chocolate smoothie to me. Good luck and hope this helps.

I've been drinking shakes for a long time. When someone says they taste good, that just means they taste less terrible than other brands. I always get chocolate or strawberry flavors. Chocolate is great to add peanut butter and milk too. Strawberry is awesome if you want to add some from fruit. The vanilla, no matter what brand or what I mix in it, tastes aweful!
