Protein powder....question
I bought some protein powder. I have been buying the drinks already made.
I usually get isopure and EAS already made drinks. ($$) I bought a powder made by biotech. The health store lady recommended it. I made it with the following ingrediants: 16oz h20 2scoops protein powder so called vanilla flavor 1 tbls flax oil 2 tbls heavy cream This drink is gross. Is it suppose to be? It tastes like rotten milk mixxed with water. I have to force it down. :mad: . Every drink I feel like i am going to gag it up. My question is: Is there any thing else I can add to it to give it a little taste? The already made drinks I was buying before I liked. (but too much $$$) They were not bad at all. Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks all. |
I wonder if the flax is adding to the bad taste?
You might try a teaspoon of cocoa.. it adds 1 carb I think. Depending on how strict you are there are syrups by Atkins and DiVinchi - I have not tried them yet though, I'm afraid of using too much. The best tasting protein powder I've tried, by far, is Nitro Tech. Unfortunately it's expensive too :) There are three carbs and 22 grams of protein per scoop. It makes incredible mousse mixed into a thick pudding with cocoa and cream, then mixed up with whipped cream. Good luck on finding a palatable drink! Meg |
Maybe your flax seed oil is rancid? Taste it and see.

good call
Good observation Lotus ... flax oil should be used up within 2 weeks after opening it.
Sadly, all protein powders aren't the same when mixed in water. Designer is nasty, as are most of them. Met-Rx protein plus (strawberries and cream) is good. Mix with water and heavy cream and it's pretty darn good. |
I just bought the flax oil today.....and I checked the dates it is good.

I'd take the flax oil separate from the protein shake. It's hard, but, just 'swig' it and try not to barf. Actually, there's a 'cinnamon flavor' flax oil out somewhere (I think I came across it on the internet before... ).

I did some yard work tonight after drinking 2 of the shakes today and during it my sweat smelt like the shake...
I tried the coca in it and it made it a little better.. I will just think of the oppurtunity cost of not drinking them.. IE. many cans of Tuna!!! Yuck ! I hate tuna |
flax
I don't know how strict your diet is, I eat one cup of lettuce a day and use the flax oil as part of my dressing. It works really well and adds a nice flavour.

Try cinnamon and Splenda also.
