Everyone knows that I am the pickiest Protein person in the world. BUT, I finally have found one that I can tolerate taste, texture and most importantly smell.While John was deployed, he used a Protein supplement after working out. He swore by the stuff, and I was pretty hesitant since I've tried and hated so many.
But, after trying the GNC soy protein with zero success, I decided to try his suggestion.
Whey Optimum is the brand name. It mixes with zero texture, or graininess. John loved the Extreme Milk chocolate so I bought that flavor. I mixed it with filtered Water, and add 2 ice cubes to chill it. I even shook it up, no foam, no froth. They do have a 16 flavor sample pack available to order.
The best prices I've seen on the web are on bodybuilding.com and you can search for Whey Optimum. The prices here are actually less than what I paid at our GNC on base, we pay zero tax there, and have a GNC GOLD CARD. Even with all the discounts, this place is cheaper. But, GNC will take back open products if you don't like it.

There is absolutely zero protein smell, or taste. It's not too sweet, and I actually think it tastes exactly hot chocolate.
Here's the nutritional facts for anyone interested.
Thanks for this Tiff. I am really having trouble with taste, texture and smell of "Whey" Protein shakes. I will try this one in chocolate. I hope I like it as much as you do.
I'm hesitant these days to try anything with milk in it since I seem to be so lactose intolerant. SO happy you found something you like!

How can I tell if I'm lactose intolerant?

I'm taking a probiotic as well in hopes that it helps curb some of the gassiness.
I haven't noticed a major lactose intolerance since surgery.

I swear by this stuff, it is absolutely the best Protein shake out there. My favorite is plain vanilla. The flavor pack works well and is not too bad in price. It tastes good in a fruit smoothie as well! Once your able to take in more of the "mushi" stuff.
I am a very picky Protein Shake person myself. My boyfriend uses this Whey Protein even before he got banded. Hopefully this will help others trying to pick a good tasting powder!

Ah ha! So that's what that explosive watery poop was about, I had thought it was "par for the course".:bored0:

You need to get slim fast low carb if you are going to drink slim fast. I drank a lot of it at one point and time and I like it. It's good when you don't have a mixer handy to take and go. Any that is not low carb slim fast is way too high in carbs though.

Yes, Charity I have tried the Slim Fast, but guess what they make me gain weight. . . they don't work well for me. . . I don't recommend these drinks at all. . . but you may have better luck with them then I have. . .
Wow, great price Tiff. You & John are two peas in a pod.
