Why do protein drinks taste awful?

Hello,

So, since I can't tolerate Carnation Instant Breakfast, my surgeon's office recommended that I try a water-based protein supplement like Isopure from GNC. So, I bought a bag of "Strawberries & Creme" protein powder from GNC the other day. Put simply, I'd rather drink Pepto Bismol straight from the bottle than try that Isopure garbage ever again. I specifically asked the cashier lady at GNC "which one isn't the worst?" and she recommended this flavour of Isopure.

Does anyone else have any recommendations about protein drinks?

I have tryed everything and the only one that is tolerable was recommended by my dietitian. It is called GenePro protien powder. I ordered it threw amazon. It has no flavor. If antyhing it will just thicken your liquid some. But i can mix 1 scoop with 1 oz of liquid. Drink that in one shot and have 30 grams of protien. I found the best thing to mix it is a sugar free Kool-aid or G2. Water works to but it gives it a thicker feel going down. Also it works out to be about $1 a serving which is a good deal for 30 grams of protien. Google amazon Gene Pro Protien. It will change your world.

Watch out!! There are some on here that don't believe GENEPRO has 30 grams of protein and they get a little ANGRY when someone puts out good vibes on it. Personally, I LOVE GENEPRO. It is the only protein I use now. I put it in my Espresso every day. Just a little warning.

This. Preach.

Im new to here. I had no idea. Thanks for the heads up. I wonder what the reasoning behind that thinking is.

They argue that GENEPRO doesn't have the amount of protein they advertise. They say that the Company has lawsuits against them and they lost the last case. I ask them why even BARIATRIC STORE sells it, they are a huge company and you would think they stand behind this product. I just wanted to let u know. I will always use GENEPRO. It's the best I have found for myself. So now u know if u get pounced on. Lol
