how to make (almost) any whey protein mix taste better.

[jtterrible]

For the longest time I've had issues with the protein I buy tasting gross, but it's cheap so I just chug it down. Well I found this out a while ago, and I didn't see a thread about it. Easy way to improve the taste of a whey protein mix is to add 1tbl spoon of Peanut butter to the mix, if you have a blender. It seems to take the strange after taste off and tastes great. My chocolate whey protein mix with milk and peanut butter tasted just like a reese's peanutbutter cup.

Thought everyone used PB in their shakes ..... it works way better when you used a high quality great tasting protein powder as well, I use TruScience chocolate and by itself it's excellent with PB incredible. I make all my shakes with milk too vs water, throw a half frozen banana in and you have a killer tasting post wo shake.

Yeah def makes it taste alot better. Try adding some cinnamon and ice to the blender too. I made this yesterday and it tasted amazing! tablespoon of natty pb, 1 scoop protien powder ice milk and a few shakes of cinnamon

guys, try some agave nectar. Only need a little if you are finding a powder w/ a chemical aftertaste. Also, call me odd, but i started using warm/hot water with my shakes. It seems to mix MUCH better and then, after its mixed, i add the ice to cool it down. Works like a charm for me.

heat generally helps water break things down.. it has to do with heat reducing molecular density

so I am going to change my opinion on this.. from peanut butter makes all protein shakes taste better to Peanut butter makes nearly all things taste better..

except for muscle juice weight gainer.. makes it taste gross.. I just discovered that this morning when I didn't add anything to the shake.. it tastes AWESOME
