Any half-way decent tasting whey?

Shocker_X12 Posts: 35 Joined: 2002/05/29	2002/07/01, 10:05 PM Ok, from my experience this stuff is worse tasting than Slim-Fast, and that is pretty bad!!! I have tried MetRX, Vanilla and Chocolate.. and There Terrible. I have a Jar of Nitrotech(Chocolate) and it is terrible! I have however tried the RTD's but there too expensive to buy that many of them, but at least they taste decent, by the way it was Vanilla. Does anyone know if the Real Vanilla NitroTECH tasts like the RTD's? Another thing I am considering is ProM3 does anyone know of any of things taste great like all of the labels say? Thanks!

I've had the chocolate and strawberry. They are both pretty good; since I've started this carb cycling diet, on my lo-carb days I've been having a breakfast shake made with 12 oz water, 1 tbsp flax seed oil, 4 frozen strawberries, and 3 scoops of strawberry proteain, and it's yummy and filling.

I just started the GNC 100% whey protein vanilla and it is pretty good but not the best tasting however it is consumable and less expensive. -------------- Lisa

I think based on all the opinions your getting that people have a variety of different tastes. I've added things to some of my protein shakes to make them taste better. Usually with chocolate I like to add a natural brand of peanut butter. Strawberry flavor I usually add fruit. I don't care for vanilla too much, although I like the flavor in other products, I have yet to taste a vanilla whey protein that I liked.

It tastes like a strawberry milk shake. The vanilla tastes OK to me; it reminds me of cake batter for some reason, though. You know when you lick the mixer blades... it tastes kind of like that. Again, that's my opinion. ;) -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

I have a quick question for everybody....How many of you take your protein powder with milk and how many with powder? I personally have to take mine with milk cause to me it doesn't taste as good with water. Is milk ok to take with the powder?

Although it isn't Whey protein - TwinLabs VegeFuel (it's Soy protein) in the Strawberry-Banana flavor... YUMMY! And I agree - mixing the powder with milk is much better tasting than just plain water (plus you get another 6 or so grams of protein added thanks to the milk).

Lumina20 Posts: 966 Joined: 2001/10/31	2002/07/12, 06:30 PM I used to take my protein with skim milk, but now I only take it in a blender mixed with something/anything else, I think it's a mental thing.

roni0906 Posts: 1,008 Joined: 2002/01/24	2002/07/13, 04:56 AM I like the taste better with milk but after my workout I only mix it with water and before bed I will have it with non-fat milk. I perfer vanilla or strawberry-- I can't stand most of the chocolate flavors, they taste to chalky. -------------- Lisa
