    I used to take that Muscle Milk stuff. It tasted pretty good as compared to some of the other stuff on the market.

    I also used to drink the liquid protein drink from Isopur. Some of them were downright nasty; tasted like cough medicine damn near. But then, they had/have some flavors that were pretty good.

    As with anything, most protein drinks come with an acquired taste.

    Muscle Milk is the best tasting IMO.

    I use ON Gold Standard 100% Whey. I don't care about taste and just throw it in some water and chug it down. When I was bulking I'd put into milk and it tasted much better though.

    And I never shopped at GNC period. I walked in and seen the prices and walked right back out.

    See....I have a very VERY sensitive palate lol so taste really is muy importante to me. I've thrown up several times when trying new powders and what not. I know that doesn't really work well when someone wants to lose weight or whatever but it is what it is. A sista can't even take pills like that. I gag and throw em up.

    Thanks for all of your feedback though, I really appreciate it. I just bought a bottle of the strawberry and creme pre-mixed muscle milk to taste it. How the hell was that ? 3 bucks tho?!! I won't be working out tonight but imma try it tomorrow after my workout.

    once again- ur feedback is much appreciated. I been working out everyday lately and am tryna be diligent about all of this.....

    I know it's been a while but are you still fat? Even though you were fat you had sexy knees. Anyways Muscle Milk: Cookies and Creme with 2% or skim milk.

    I got muscle milk and that ? is okay. I guess its bad for you cause its got arsenic in it so I'm probably gonna get a whole pack of Myoplex next. Otherwise I just mix the cheap GNC brand whey protien and creatine. Slam it fast. Not too bad. Helluva lot better than cheap whiskey and almost as good for ya too.

    MM taste good....but Syntha 6 is the best tasting and easier digestible with last calories, which is better for definition and cutting
    I'm using the Cookie 'n Cream and Chocolate PeanutButter
    The strawberry taste like an actual Milkshake from DQ

    I think different kinds of protein for different times of day is good. Caesin before bed is good because it is slow release and it will keep you anabolic overnight. Whey is best for straight after workout because its fast release. At all other times a blend of fast and slow release is good.

    that's right, different proteins do work better take at different times. And then there are protein powder combination like Syntha 6 that has all of the main proteins which makes it multi-functional for time of use. Hands down the best currently on the market.

    Ijust realized my advice on that proper grams... For the females I suggest a lower amount. 32g is typical dosage for 150 to 225 pounders. Sorry for any inconvenience

    Even with guys your body can only absorb so much protein B and you just ? and ? the rest out. That's why when you take multi vitamins your waste just smells so ? dam bad your body is getting rid of what you don't need.

    @ Dee look into Isopure you mix it with water and there are more flavors than Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla. And I'm sure they have a shaker mixer at your healthclub with the ball that breaks up the protein yo. I myself replace at least 2 meals with these shakes. They also come in Zero Carb and Low carb.

    I foolz with Myofusion by Gaspari Nutrition. Blend it with ice and unsweetened almond milk, and it's like an actual milkshake. About 25 g protein per scoop. I use two in my shakes.
