What do you mix your DAA powder with?

[DGA3]

Powdered DAA tastes horrible and will overpower anything you mix it with.

+1

I tried putting it in my morning coffee . . . . .

YECH!

Bitter and sour - ruined it completely.

Threw out the coffee and mixed the DAA with my sugar-free Kool Aid. Much better.

Made a new cup of coffee and all was right again.

Just mixed my DAA with 2 scoops lemon recover pro and LCLT. I think the DAA an LCLT gave an extra sweet kick to the lemon recover pro... But then again I don't think DaA tastes bad...

[Clickster]

I just shoot it down with a very small amount of water. It is done and over in seconds.

I can't taste it in OJ since it is tangy anyway. Tried it in coffee, but since I drink it black it was horrible. 3-4 times a week I do fasted cardio in the mornings and mix it with hemo-rage and BCAA powder. I'm currently laying off the daa after reading the side affects thread. It does seem to negatively affect my mental state.

BCAA's....what a JOKE

Bcaas to an extent are ridiculous.... If you are fasting,not eating enough or cant have atleast 20 grams of carbs with your meals or any carbs with your meals ,then yes bcaas are essential. If you cant get a carb in wirh your post workout meal,then i would advise bcaas..And being I train ALL NATURAL i have never once had to use them ,eat my meals and eat often and always made gains,ALWAYS. Thats without uaing bcaas,ever.

So yeah bcaas imo are a supplement i wouldnt buy unless i was in a few situations like i listed above..Ive used bcaas maybe 3 times,waste of my money!

I mix my DAA in some Diet Mountain Dew and throw it back first thing in the morning. The lemon/lime masks the DAA taste pretty well.

I second this. Rhadam I'm surprised, as knowledeable as you are, you still give credence to BCAA's lol ....I'm not hating I just hate to see people giving credit to BCAA powder when it's their diet/training doing the work not their wasted $$ they spent on powder.

What have you ever seen me say about BCAAs? Probably nothing. My remark was a jackass comment, and simply for humor.

On a certain other forum, i spend much of my time preaching about BCAA supplementation being worthless to most bodybuilders. There are very few situations in which i will actually recommend purchasing a BCAA supplement. Fasted cardio while in a caloric deficit, hypocaloric diet, multiple training sessions per day, and endurance training; that's basically it.

well my bad.

[DJBeanPole]

I mix mine into my preworkout... but Formula-X tastes good enough on its own that I don't mix it with anything on my off days!

[DkGreek]

Water. Coffee plus a bad tasting DAA powder sounds bad. Also, DAA is osmotically active.. Combining that with caffeine may not be so bueno.

[Rhadam]

well my bad.

lol wasn't calling you out. it's not easy to interpret tone through written word, especially on forums lol.

The newest craze is the "8-1-1" ratio, with leucine being the 8, so they are ultra heavy on the Leucine. But i agree, I like to take around 20 grams post workout of BCAA. Better to take too much than too little, and they won't hurt you. My formula I am using now has 3.5 gram L-leucine and 3.5 grams Leucine peptide along with 500 mg each of valine and isoleucine per scoop. 2 or 3 scoops and you're good.

That my friend sounds like some good ol' Monster Amino I'm lovin it, on my second tub and plan on continuing

I think you'll be pleased and pleasantly surprised by the flavor. Airborne is currently using it in his PCT log and described it as "Country Time Pink Lemonade" which is spot on
