Protein drinks

Please, please tell me that there is a decent tasting protein drink out there? I don't know how I'm going to make it. I can not handle Isopure or liquidcel so far. Nor unflavored protein powder. There is a smell to all these drinks and as soon as they get up by my nose, my stomach wants to retch. TMI - Even after just a taste, I belch it back up and can smell it...omg...I don't know how I'm going to handle protein shakes when I get to full liquids. I'm really concerned about not getting my protein requirements but I don't want to vomit everytime I try to drink one of these.

Syntrax Nectar has fruity flavors, if the thick milk based ones aren't working for you.

So far, premier chocolate shake is not terrible. I can actually get that down. The vanilla is awful to me though. I bought a bottle each of choc and vanilla muscle milk to try. Also have a bunch of syntrax to try. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions!



I even tried the strawberry, its a little too sweet for me since I have cut pop and diet pop out of diet. Never thought I'd say that, but the chocolate is the best so far, and I have added ice and a little fat free milk to the strawberry which helps, premier protein is the best so far.



I do much better with the protein powders than with the ready-to-drink shakes. The processing that the RTD shakes undergo kind-of cooks the protein, and I can't stand the smell or taste, unless the shake is a strong chocolate and freezing cold. With the powders, those using whey protein isolate will have the least off-flavor and off-smell. Syntrax Nectars are made fro WPI and are all protein- no carb or fat, except that which comes from whatever you are using as liquid. I prefer to mix shakes with unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of skim milk; I can't stand the smell/flavor of the skim milk, which I can detect even when it's mixed with shake powders.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. Im currently trying New Whey liquid protein. It's only 3.8 ozs so it's not overwhelming to try and get through in a day, for now. Its 42g protein. Im trying acai berry. It's not horrible. I may be able to choke this down if I hold my nose. It's the protein smell that really gets me.





I Am glad you mentioned these. I have some ordered. I was planning on mixing it with. Crystal light frozen into ice cubes and run through the ninja lol. I really love slushes.

Ok, found one I like! Syntrax nectar cappuccino flavor. I made it with Fairlife extra protein skim milk. Then I added a bit of the premier chocolate shake. So I had a lovely choc. cappuccino for breakfast!
