Protein Shakes
Postby Parker » Wed Feb 11, 2015 2:37 pm
Whats the worst tasting one that you've had?
I'm currently trying out a brand called Raw, I've got the protein isolate vanilla flavoured one, it's vegan and I was like. "Sure Ro, go try something different that's pure and stuff... and different"
STAY AWAY It's actually disgusting, possibly due to the lack of chemicals, lack of flavor and artificial colours, or maybe it's because I mix with water because I don't love milk and I'm not into nut milks... but for the love of (that guy Christopher doesn't like us mentioning on here) its ghastly.

Utterly revolting (got it really cheap- like free)-I would rather drink chocolate milk filtered through someones sweaty/used bib tights

I remember trying some of that a few years ago. It was creamy heaven.mitchy_ wrote: i am addicted to vanilla casein from BN, the stuff is amazing.
Any reason you prefer casein over whey?
Which is cheaper nowadays ?

Its at best 'average' tasting eg awful but if mixed with this type of diluted cordial (http://shop.coles.com.au/online/mobile/ ... tters-diet" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) it's actually pretty ok tasting and its not an ordeal to use. Until I tried the cordial trick, I doubt I'd have touched it after the first weeks use.

Nothing and I mean NOTHING comes close to chocolate pea protein in absolute awfulness!!!Parker wrote: Whats the worst tasting one that you've had?

STAY AWAY.
I got it once when I was trying to diet without using dairy. Imagine tasting a watery chocolate cordial with pea undertones!
Almost all the flavoured protein powders taste better when made up with skim milk.
I now use Aussie Bodies Protein FX Lo Carb which tastes great. My 14yr old boy rower uses Musashi P30 High Protein powder and thinks it's ok but is getting a bit sick of it.
Good luck finding something to your taste!

That's it! Blended with some ice is perfect.Rex wrote:I remember trying some of that a few years ago. It was creamy heaven.mitchy_ wrote: i am addicted to vanilla casein from BN, the stuff is amazing.

I mix both wpi and casein, mainly because I bought way too much for a 12 week fitness program I did a little while ago.

No additives tastes ok and they have a good range of different protein types not just a mixed bag that's cheap to make.

Pretty much the stupidest comment I've read in a long time.singlespeedscott wrote:Why does everyone think they need protein powder. The stuff is just a marketing scam.
Water is probably a scam too?

I am reasonably sure that MB is very much pro-protein, just a question of form.lobstermash wrote:I dunno, I'm going to count MB's inquiry about beer as anti-protein...CXCommuter wrote:18 posts down until thhe first anti protein comment- come on people we are getting old and lazy!!

I think equating the need for water with protein powder should count in the stupid comment competition, no...?BiciBoy wrote:Pretty much the stupidest comment I've read in a long time.singlespeedscott wrote:Why does everyone think they need protein powder. The stuff is just a marketing scam.
