Not all protein powders are created equal. Some as you discovered taste so bad it'll make you gag. I've tried a bunch of different brands over the years, but once I discovered Optimum Nutrition's whey protein I've never looked back.  When I finish a glass I crave more. And that's just mixed with water.


x2. But I happen to like the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor. :D  Right now I have Double Rich Chocolate, which I drink with vanilla soy milk. They have sooooo many flavors, it'd be hard to find one you don't like. I think you can order a taster set from their website too.

I mix it concentrated. About 1 scoop to 4oz liquid. Get a shaker bottle, those help a ton. They have a whisk in there so when you shake it, it breaks up the clumps to make your drink nice and smooth. 

I do a protein drink after every workout and sometimes at night before bed if I ate a particularly low-protein dinner.

I mix a few scoops of Whey protein in my C-milk after my morning swims.  I usally go to bed within a half hour after that so, it's also a bedtime snack.

DJS - 2009-11-19 8:59 AM I drink a Met-Rx MRP every morning and a casein protein shake before bed.
And ALWAYS drink one made with whey, dextrose, glutamine, HMB immediately after lifting/working out.


Same here.  What is the significance of the dextrose with the protein shake??
