True Protein -- Good Flavors Question

I'm going to be making a pretty large order to True Protein here in the month or so and I wanted to know what flavors people have found to be acceptable. I ordered BSL Chocolate for my PWO powder and it's great. However, it's also $1.30/pound. I'd like to find a more sensible flavor solution. Any ideas and/or suggestions would be really helpful.

I got this PWO mix
Hydrolyzed Whey Protein High Grade 35%
Amylocel (Waxy Maize Starch) 55%
L-Arginine by the Pound 5%
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) 5%
+ Chocolate /
+ Stevia /
+ Aminogen / Vitamin and Mineral Mix $1.35/
+ FREE Food Grade Bag /

Plus beta alanine and creatine....

Let me tell you if you can't put away disgusting chalking bitter tasting crap... get the deluxe flavors.... Personally I just put it back and chug it, but it is straight up terrible...

Not to mention the insane tingling that accompanies the beta-alanine.

I can usually chug anything but I'm a big guy and I'm looking at having to take three scoops PWO. So yeah, I don't know if I can chug 24 ounces of chalky goodness.

On a side note, how much beta-alanine do you take?

2.5g pre and 2.5g post, reading the beta thread, and its in there reapeatedly 4-6g is optimal and I think 6g is a lot so I take the middle road haha.

Yeah I take three scoops pwo its rough, it taste like pure awful. I have never tasted anything so bad haha, its just a lingering sensation as well it tastes like chalky, bitter, cardboard, barf... Haha its one of those things you gotta experience... But I put it down haha.

Yeah, I'm in the process of reading the BA thread but it's taking me a little while considering it's a small novel...

I wonder what makes it taste so bad. The BCAA's are bad in my Pre-WO shake. I wonder if that's what makes it so bad PWO. Oh, I suppose you have the WMS and not the Dextrose and Maltodextrin like me. That could be making it bad.

Their Premium Strawberries & Cream is the best strawberry I've ever tasted. I have it w/ my Team Skip blend and I think it's as good as strawberry Muscle Milk.

For PWO, I like the orange creamsicle best.

BA is supposed to be taken with carbs anyway so if you'll mix it in some powdered gatorade you can't even taste the BA imo. The BCAA's are a whole different story. i have yet to find anything that can mask the taste of that vile shit. Xtend tastes halfway decent or at least less bad, but it's kind of expensive and TrueProtein is a much better value. Just man up and drink it son

Country Time Lite powder works really well for me.
