Best tasting protein in water

Brampton_Boy · 05-09-2008, 12:07 AM

Due to my aversion to lactose, I generally mix my protein with water. For the past year or so, I have been using ON Delicious Strawberry (4 scoops for every 500ml of water), but can no longer stomach the taste.

I have tried both chocolate and vanilla (both from ON) with water, but always end up gagging. Any suggestions/recipes for protein shakes that work well without milk?

Hm, my GNC whey tastes fine in water, I'd even say it tastes good. But then again, maybe it's not as quality as the ON stuff. You could try mixing in some yogurt or something and throwing it in the blender...some fruit in there could work too. Though it depends on if you're trying to lose weight or not.

I like true protein's premium flavors. I always mix them with water.

Seriously, this is like asking us to pick a girlfriend. There's no conceivable way to be able to tell you'll like something.

Some proteins have good reputations, and I personally have hated many of them. Just experiment, there's endless brands unfortunately.

IronTek - Banana Cream is actually quite tasty in cold water.

Edit: If you ever had a banana flavored ice pop.. the taste is very similar. It doesnt taste like a liquified banana.

Am I allowed to say MUSCLEMILK here (even tho not technically just protein..)

Umm reflex instant whey chocolate is nice, try some of that. quite runny in water so depends on consistency you like..

MM is the best tasting protein I've had with water.

Do lactose intollerant people have problems with Muscle Milk?

Note: I am not asking this because "milk" is in the name, but because of this:

I'm afraid that your subjective opinion is wrong -Chocolate ON is the best tasting.

Do you add any carbs to it? Beta-alanine or choline? They'll all change the taste.

BTW-I choose Mariah Carey as my GF.

good quality microfiltered whey protein isolate has very little taste on its own. you could try getting plain product and customize it from there.
