Anyone else hate the protein shakes?

I don't understand what my problem is, when I was buying my protein shakes I went to the store and bought a few kinds to try, I taste tested each then chose the one I liked the best. I had my surgery on Monday July 8th... and I can NOT stand the shakes!!!! The smell of them makes me wish to hurl! Why? what happened? how do I fix it? anyone else have this issue? This morning I mixed the powder in decafe coffee and that seems to be not so bad but takes a very long time for me to drink (over an hour) any suggestions?

I use Pure Protein bars (20 grams) and New Whey protein bullets (42 grams). The Sunkist protein shots are much better tasting than the New Whey, but almost three times more expensive. I just tolerate the New Whey from WalMart. Fruit Punch is the best flavor, IMO.

I felt the same way. Then I decided to try Syntrax nectar lemon tea flavor. I mix it in 2 to 4 oz of Water and add ice, and shoot it like a shot of tequila. So much better than anything milky based and great if you have low tolerance for volumes over 2 ounces like me. I do it four times a day and since it mixes with cold water you can take it anywhere and add 2 ounces of water.

Just pretend its a tequila shot and shoot it.

And that gives me 23 gm of protein each shot. Total per day 96. And it gives me room to eat alittle real food and drink all my liquid requirement.

I like EAS Advantage choc and vanilla premixed. Ne sure to get the carb control. Im thinking of using the to make sf pudding. I also like Nectar roadside lemonade and the fuzzy navel. Sometimes I add crystal light or Hawaiian Punch flavor packets.
