Never thought about crystal light. Good idea... those are only 5 calories in water right?

Yea they're naturaly bitter/not the greatest tasting. Like they said , Crystal Light, try a pre-flavoured version. I'll be adding Vitaberry to mine soon, I've heard great things about it.

VitaBerry is the shiznit. Try a scoop in just a little bit of water, or just put some directly in the mouth...so good.
 
1/2 a packet of Fruit Punch Crystal Light is what I use in my BCAA drink. Still tastes a little funky, but at least it's not a bland funky... haha

True story... Lots of shaking and adequate time will get them into solution though. Just takes time.
 
i buy extend and bulk bcaa's, mix a scoop of extend and a scoop of bulk in water. the extend masks the taste better than anything else ive tried. purple wraath also does well.

That works, but can be risky as it is super easy to accidently inhale it, which in turn leads to violent coughing and other dying noises.

To answer the question, I take Xtend since the taste of straight bcaa's is too hard to handle.
 
Easiest way I have found is to get instantized BCAA's (because they mix better)... and then only use a few ounces of water, grape juice, oj, etc... then slam it down like you would a shot.

Some people want to sip on the BCAAs while they workout to get a steady release though, otherwise good idea. Actually I just shotgun the powder, sometimes 5-10g before I do a fasted workout.

i just scoop my plain Leucine powder in my mouth and was it down...
 
Does anyone notice a gel like coating when they mix bcaa's? My primaforce bcca's form a gel coating and it becomes hard to mix unless I use a shaker. I mix mine with gatorade powder from sam's club.
