  • Are there any protein shakes that don't taste like chalk?

    Hey,

    I use protein shakes to build muscle, but they all taste totally foul to me. Can anyone recommend one that doesn't have that powdery taste?

    Thanks.

    Hi:

    I agree, some of them do taste awful.  Of course it's just a matter of personal taste, but I use a pure whey chocolate shake from ASN (Advanced Sciences of Nutrition) which I find pretty palatable.

    Cheers,

    Don

    Unfortunately the only way to know is to try them - but once you find one, remember where you got it!  There's nothing worse than finding something you really like then not being able to get hold of it again!

    I know what you mean - I use them but can't say any of them are actually good - not like nesquick, anyway!

    Maybe it's just me, but i quite like them!

    You could try mixing them with something - using some milk rather than all water seems to help, as does adding a little bit of a pure fruit smoothie - though if you're really cutting carbs that's not an option.

    A friend gave me one to try the other day - they're not good are they?

    I don't know what people have against them - i like them!

    I just started using protein drinks - I don't find the taste too bad, but I find they are really hard to mix - lots of the powder stays in a clump.  Is this just me or do others have this problem?

    I keep reading about protein shakes and how good they are for you - i must give this a go sometime - maybe in  the new year.

    I've been using the Body Fortress mix that Holland and Barrett sells - it's the best I've tried, quite creamy, and mixes really well.  Keep an eye out because they put it on sale regularly.

    Come on guys - there's load out there. Recent advances in flavours and supplement combinations means that there's plenty of shakes that offer you the earth, without tasting like chalk.

    I don't want to name drop, but Maximuscle have a great range - Cyclone - Chocolate tastes alright. But let's be realistic - they're not supposed to taste like Innocent smoothies.

    I say put up and shut up - you want a fix of protein, then if you don't like the taste, hold your nose!

    hello there mate just a quick message how do you make your shakes?
  • Re: Are there any protein shakes that don't taste like chalk?

    i've recently started using them  -i don't think they're that bad.  if you mix them up into a smoothie they're actually quite good - my friend gave me a recipe, vanilla protein, frozen fruit and plain yoghurt, makes a great breakfast.

    That type of mix also makes a good post-workout recovery drink.
