I just can't do it anymore. I'm supposed to be getting about 90g of protein a day at the moment minimum, but my protein shake makes me wrench.
Was on Maximuscle cyclone but hated it. Now switched to a USN product but can't bring myself to even finish the tub.
Are there ANY that are by consensus, "great tasting"?

BSN is the best tasting by a long way I found. Phd isn't too bad either and cheaper usually!

PHD (Iso-7) vanilla, for me, tastes nicest of those that I've tried.
But, to be honest, I happily drink my own piss.

Can you try it either with milk entirely, or if that messes too much with a diet plan, with just a slug of milk to alter the flavour a bit?

Holland and Barrett vanilla mixed with semi skimmed milk and a level teaspoon of coffee. Yummy.

Boditronics Express Whey Anabolic (Strawberry) is the best stuff I have ever had.
Actually very drinkable and mixes easily.

Currently trying to get through a load of My Protein Hurricane XS.
I got the Choc Nut flavour as it was supposed to taste kind of like a KitKat.

If you imagine what dog poo would taste like, that's about right.

Myprotein strawberry cream flavour made with milk and a few strawberries/banana is really really nice. I would drink that in preference to almost anything.

Although, if you're only aiming for 90g of protein per day, then do you need shakes?

Taste is an entirely subjective issue, but my vote goes to Reflex Instant Whey or Reflex Instant Whey Deluxe - either in choc or choc mint.

Genuinely the best protein shake I've ever tasted, and in terms of nutritional content, it's one of the best out there.

Ive just bought some Reflex Instant Whey in Strawberry. It was good value at £49 for 2.2kg but more importantly, its nutritionally off the chart compared to the other similar products, including the Maximuscle I was using before.

Just had a my first shake, not nice by any stretch, but far more liveable than anything Ive tried so far.

Thanks for the tip thumbup

What are ye mixing it with? Generally, it will taste worse with water than with semi skimmed milk.

Another vote for PHD products. The bulking whey is pretty shonky but the Pharma Whey I use is great and I've had banana and choc mint now and both are tasty.

Buy a single dose packet and give it a try

myprotein vanilla and chocolate flavours are fairly palatable with a good consistency/texture, though they may be a bit sweet for some.

I'm getting to the point with Myprotein chocolate now where I just neck it down so I don't have to taste it. I've been through 20+kg of USN Musclefuel Anabolic and that was really really nice in comparison.

Hmmmmm, Which USN did you have?

I really like the pro-anabolic, though I am a sugar fiend!

Kinetica ones also taste great.

What are you mixing with? Milk or water?

This ^^^^

Is the shake to add 90g of protein a day in addition to what you already eat?
