I noticed most people say Muscle Milk Light was their Protein Drink of choice...and most really preferred the Cookies n cream flavor.

So that's the first one i bought to try out, it was on sale at my local GNC (normally $45 and on sale for $27!!) so I went ahead and bought a big tub of it...and I hate it! I actually don't like how thin it is..it taste like a candy bar melted into Water to me, and it leaves this chalky weird taste in mouth, similar to the after taste of slim fast...How can I thicken this up/or make this taste better, really don't want it to go to waste.. My husband thinks it taste like a milkshake and I just can't believe it! lol

Don't really have any advice on making it taste better. Premier brand ready to drink found at costco is quite good 160 cal. 30 g of Protein.< /p>

Try add crushed ice,in blender,makes it thicker and then I use suger free flavoring ( like for coffee). vanilla, carmel, whatever you like. Greek yogurt can thinken it and add Protein too, but wil cut the sweetness and may be too sour for that favor. good luck

As far as thickening it up, use less Water.

If your using 8 oz. Water, 4 oz., and a little time in the freezer is like pudding.

If that's to thick, then try 6 oz....

I was put on this stuff when I was first banded. I have tried others, and the Muscle Milk Light is better in taste.

The stuff that taste like strait Protein is Nasty. This at least has flavor. Try and see the differences in Company's.

I was drinking Hydro-whey, in chocolate. I would even add a little coffee and it tasted like a cold mocha. It's a little pricey, I get it at GNC, BUT if you don't like it GNC will take it back, opened, and give you a full refund. Worth a try :-)

Good luck! It's worth it if you drink it and don't skip your Protein.

It's hard to find a good Protein. GNC will usually exchange it out with a receipt. Most GNC's have Lean Body and Oh Yeah! RTD's those are very good.

Another of my favs are Lean Dessert (powder) and Premier (RTD). Those are not usually sold at GNC though.

They have this thickener at walgreens that is specifically for that purpose...it is sold with the diabetic/special diet stuff.

As far as another Protein shake, I really like zero carb Isopure in chocolate, two scoops is 50 g Protein and it tastes pretty good when made with milk, ice, and powdered Peanut Butter (85% less fat that regular pb!). I just ordered some samples from juven to see how those taste, 100 cals and 20 g protein a serving. For more protein, you can find protein "bullets" that pack 42 g protein in just a few oz. But i would save that for a day where I was falling short on protein, as I believe they are expensive.

You can mix it with skim milk and it will taste better since I had the reverse problem of trying Meal Replacement and finding it to be too thick. Another way to thicken it is to use sugar free pudding mix in it...I've bought sugar free flavorings to add different flavors to change it up. Good luck and don't let it turn you off of Protein drinks....I've tried quite a few and found I like chocolate and vanilla best as you can add flavors to make them taste different...Good luck. Linda

I have a Muscle Milk shake every day for Breakfast, for the past 12 months!

Add a few ice cubes to thicken it up. I also bought a large bag of mixed berries, frozen from costco. I throw a handful in with every shake. You can add other things in the blender. 1/2 banana, Peanut Butter. Be creative. Google for some smoothie recipes. As long as yo use the muscle milk as a base, for the Protein.

I don't like just plain Protein Drinks. Yuck. I make a small shake every morning. Today I had a shake with 1 scoop GNC Lean 25, 1/4 banana, and a tablespoon of natural Peanut Butter and just added Water to consistency. It isn't chalky at all.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
