Oh damn, supplements taste utter disgusting!!! Anyone got any HEALTHY ideas for a nice tasting chocolate supplement!?? PS.....do NOT get chocolate Cyclone....get strawberry! :woo:
Supplements dont taste disgusting. YOUR supplement tastes disgusting. I buy the USN proteins, the chocolate and strawberry both taste nice with milk and water. Im currently sipping maltodextrin lemon and lime, and thats lush. Just gotta be careful and dont buy big tubs if youve never tasted it before
Mix with milk and Ovaltine. Or you could mix it with your oats. I do that once in a while and it's great!
Speaking of which - MetRx's micronised creatine in grape flavour was pretty disgusting too. But the Glycerlean stuff was fine. Can't remember the exact name of the manufacturer, but they make whey protein powders and gives them really dodgy names like "Chocolats". Their strawberry one tasted okay. It's a product I would buy again.
And what have we learned from this? ALL chocolate protein shakes are the Devils' own poo! Get some chocolate Crusha syrup and add a bit to it, it'll make it more bearable, but not much! There are some really nice tasting supplements out there, actually. I've found the strawberry and vanilla flavours of everything I've had from Myprotein to be really tasty with skimmed milk and I'm currently using cookies n' cream flavour Muscle Milk which is so tasty I actually find myself looking forwards to drinking it! I'm getting really good results with it too
You don't have to limit yourself to the typical water and protien powder solutions. Mix some real nutrition in with it. Milk Frozen Strawberries Ice Banana Protien Powder Blend until smooth It's a great post workout shake. Another: Milk Chocolate Syrup or Baking Chocolate Peanut Butter Cottage Cheese Chocolate Protien Powder Ice Blend 'til smooth Another great High Protien shake. If you buy a tub of protien powder that you don't like try mixing it with fruits and juices. You might just create something sensational.
Cytosports MuscleMilk in the Choclate Milkshake is great, even in water. And it's a complete protein, not just a crappy Whey.
I've been supplementing with protein for 12 years on and off. If you think the current products are bad you should've tasted some of the rat poison that used to be on the market! Those weight gain formulas tasted like something you'd bathe in to remove a tattoo! I like Met-Rx vanilla MRP, Muscle Milk chocolate or banana (although with the high fat content I should eat a lot less carbs than I do). I used to use EAS but their quality and flavor went south a couple years ago. MuscleTech's Nitro-Tech ready-to-drink are pretty tasty but expensive (the powdered Nitro-Tech is nauseating). Right now I throw a scoop or two of Designer Whey vanilla in the blender with some frozen fruit and orange juice (plus a dash of panax ginseng). Probably too much simple sugar but lots of vitamins and tastes decent. Aside from ginseng (or as I call it "Korean marching powder") I supplement with a multivitamin, some capsules of flaxseed oil, glucosamine/chondroitin, and saw palmetto. Used to take creatine but it bothers my stomach and I never saw the miraculous results Bill Phillips promised.
You havent tasted bad until youve had a good dose of dit da wan or other equally grotesquely tasting herbals. :cry: If youre concerned about how supplements taste, IMO, your best bet is finding a way to procure those much needed ingredients in natural foods...Its healthier that way anyway. Happy supplementing!
