Protein drinks gagging me

[HeresKimmy 34]

I am 2 weeks out and I cannot handle the Protein Drinks. I am drinking Premier shakes from costco. I tried the ISO PURE grape and Six Star Muscle from Wal Mart. Just the smell of any of one makes me gag. They don't make me sick or anything but just to get them down is horrible. Any ideas?

I'm having the same issues. I'm brainstorming and trying to get creative, as well as, continue to try different Proteins. Eventually, I'll find what works for me and you will too.

I use the Wheybolic AMP from GNC and I personally don't think it's too bad! Also look in the recipies area because Tiff posted a HUGE listing of Protein Drinks to make and OMG some of them sound SO GOOD!! DH and I are going to print them out on cards to take with us when we travel for Christmas! hehe

I heard that if some people can only handle drinking the Protein shakes if they are really cold.

Just a thought.

i take 2 scoops of chocolate Protein and a packet of sugerfree hot cocoa and mix it together with warm Water. to me its way better and not as sweet i can get it in without gaging.

Try the nectar Protein Powder. It mixes with Water, so you can use it in a water bottle just like Crystal light. It actually tastes kind of like Crystal Light and comes in about a dozen fruity flavors.

I like the nectar chocolate trufffle.

Go to the thread where it says places to order samples. Get a bunch of samples and find out which one you like

instead of buying a big jug of something you may not like.

Thanks everyone! I actually did go get the nectar Roadside Lemonade. I make a bottle of Special K Pink Lemonade Protein Drink and I use 6 oz of it to mix with a scoop of the Nectar. So far, so good.

I'm very picky, but love the Unjury chocolate shake with skim milk and 1/4 C of NF powdered milk. 40g of protein!

I use the Carnation sugar free Instant Milk with 1/3 cup of Dry milk mix with the skim milk. This gives me 21 grams of Protein. I have just recently bought the Torina sugar free syrups and added Raspberry flavored, Caramel and for the holiday gingerbread-all of these are also sugar free to change up the flavor from plain chocolate and vanilla.

Unjury unflavored Protein powder...you can mix with pretty much anything. I got a free sample and I dig it cuz there is no vanilla or chocolate taste. I'm going through the same stuff. I tried the Isopure and grape was alright but the blue raspberry was the best. Just waiting for my unjury to come in the mail....

I don't have much issue getting them down. I just hate the aftertaste. So I make sure I pack a sugar free popsicle to have after

I tried the unflavored kind. And, I think it does add some taste to stuff. And, the smell is AWFUL!

I have tried about 4 different kinds...I like nectar Twisted cherry OK. but I couldn't drink it three times a day. Went and talked to GNC employee. They gave me several to try and I personally like the one I bought. It is called Gold Standard 100% whey. I bought the extreme milk chocolate but they had several flavors like, vanilla, Cookies and cream, strawberry, and banana cream. I was also told that if you dont like what you buy from GNC you get to return it. That was worth trying for me because I've spent like 75 dollars trying others that I can not drink now.
