Unless it's in coffee. Otherwise it tastes gross.

Using it in fresh milk would probably help a tad too...

3. Yucky!
To me, just about anything vanilla flavored is nasty.

4. I made iced coffee with it
this afternoon and that tasted pretty good. I used the protein powder like a powdered creamer. You're right though. None of it tastes particularly good.

7. I mix mine with ice cream - it's great
I gained five pounds in one week, and my doctors are smiling. Only fifteen more to go. Woho!

10. I usually take 3~6 scoops per day.
Still 204 pounds. :wow:

Actually, I was 206... my goal is to gain muscle as well; not lose weight. Well, eventually the gut can go but it takes real time, of that I know...

12. My fighting weight was 185
I lost a ton of weight that included most of my muscles. I was down to 132 pounds until kick-ass intestinal surgery fixed things and reversed the trend. I'm fast approaching the weight the doctors want me at, all of it muscle, but still short of my former 185 pounds. Protein and calories are what my doctors requested me to consume, in that order; I've been happy to comply.

9. Mix it with orange juice.
It was the most tolerable way for me to get it down.

14. I have just recently discovered a great new brand of protein powder
Jay Robb. Check out this link: http://www.jayrobb.com/index.asp
I'm tellin' ya, this stuff is the BEST. :thumbsup: I use the Vanilla Whey Isolate Protein Powder. 20g of protein per serving, sweetened naturally with stevia, no sucrose, no growth hormones fed to the cows...
I have a protein smoothie almost every morning. I scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 cup frozen berries, 1 cup water. Yummy, very filling!

I will never go back to the other stuff I've used, and I've tried a LOT of different protein powders over the years.

:hi:
