Hi, i have the optimum 100% whey protein in vanilla flavor and for me, it taste bad (like i wanna throw up), it taste like drugs really.

But i already bought it and i just want to know if i can mix it with something to help me minimise the taste in it.

Until now i only use water, but i'm sure with skim milk or something else, it will be eaiser for me to drink it.

So do you have any suggestion ??? (by the way, the chocolate flavor is awesome, very nice but not the vanilla)

I mix my vanilla protein powder with different flavors of crystal lite.

In the morning I mix it into my oatmeal afetr i have cooked the oatmeal.

You can also flavor it with a little sugar-free jell-o mix, any flavor you like, shake some in bfore you mix it.

Some vanilla extract and a bit of splenda taste good mixed with it.

Look for shake recipes online, Body For Life's webiste is supposed to have some really good ones.

No need to be miserable!

depends on your goal with carbs, but I realised recently that mixing a good low carb protein in skin milk gives you alot of carbs and sugar from the milk... So it's water for me unless it's based around a weight training session.
