Proteins taste like s*** - JP Fitness Forums

I've been taking this protein powder for 5 days now and everytime i take it i'm about to puke... It tastes like someone has pee'd in it...
It's chocolate flavour but it's nooot good, and i mix it with milk.

70MLx2 proteins + 400ml milk.

Any ideas how to make it taste any better?

yeah mine sucks too, it's way too sweet. It has the density of normal chocolate milk, but it tastes like chocolate sauce for ice cream or pancakes or something.

Anyone have any ideas? How is it to add some real Nesquick or similar?

If it really makes you feel like puking, I'd suggest getting a different brand.

Of course, you hate to waste the money you just spent on it. Maybe try to hide the flavor somehow...make a shake out of it?...Add banana and ice in a blender?

Or, you could add unsweetened cocoa to it instead of Nesquick. Cocoa contains antioxidants and won't have the sugar that's in Nesquick.

But Chocolate and banana might taste a bit funny don't you think?

EDIT: I'm using Twinlab - Super mass fuel

EDIT: @TrainingGirl - Ice like ice, or Ice like icecream?

Noooo, chocolate and banana is good! Well, actually, I've never had them together as a protein shake, but I remember when I was little, at the beach we used to get frozen chocolate covered bananas. So it's not an unusual combination. Can't hurt to try it I guess. I would use the protein powder, some cocoa and the banana, skim milk and ice in a blender, and see how that works.

I was meaning ice...to make it more like a shake. You could still use the skim milk in there too.

Yeah, that sounds yummy

.

I'm still confused about the "ice"

Ice:

Sorry, I didn't explain that very well. Although the ice cream looks yummy!, I was meaning the cubes...frozen water.

I love the 100% Whey Protien Chocolate flavor that GNC offers...I dont taste the nasty protein-ey flavor that I have before in other shakes/bars, which always turned me off to protien....I highly recommend it-tastes great...a little pricey though (I got mine on sale for $29), but well worth it--it'll last a long time too, 'cause there's a lot in there...
