SO I made the mistake of buying a "Cookies n Cream" flavor protein shake from P{opeyes a few months back... Im struggling getting this crap down, its sweet as hell and just the thought if downing it makes me wana vomit. This, of course, comes after I got tired of my banana flavored one from GNC.

How many of you use flavorless protein powder? Im trying to down 3 shakes a day, but after just 1, Im about ready to hurl

HA flavorless will NOT be easier to take down. The way I see it you got three options:
1) Get more protein from food
2) Keep trying different proteins until you find one you like
3) Stop being a crybaby and just drink your damn shake

Whenever this happens I just trade/give it to a friend, deffinatly had a few flavors that tasted alright the first time but after like 2lbs of the stuff you just cant handle it anymore.

Not to be a dick, but this thread should be over in the "supplement" part of this site. This area is for AAS related topics.

i've have had optimum's cookies and cream and it didnt taste too bad but by the end of the 2.5lb bottle i couldnt handle it.. best bet is to switch up for awhile to something else..

Yeah the Muscle milk cookies n cream is actually good, every other brand I have tried has tasted awful. I tend to stick with chocolate/vanilla and just switch brands every few tubs to me it isint worth the risk trying of buying a tub of some aweful tasting protein so I avoid the more exotic flavors unless I get to taste them first a few times.

the best protein is imo Myofusion from Gaspari. The vanila flavour is AWESOME. It's like a protein can (Protein Blast or RTD51)

When I buy a protein I don't like, i usually mix it with skim milk, oats and a banana.

Cookies and Cream is the absolute worst. I gave a 5lb jug to a friend, who dumped it on someone else after he couldn't handle it.

The PVL Whey gourmet cookie and cream is really good but i'll admit optimum, mm, ultimate nutrition aren't good

PVL Whey Gourmet-Smooth Peanut Butter Chocolate is the best Ive ever had but then again I can stomach anything, I would probably like that cookies and cream shit.
Something doesnt sound right about drinking cookies and cream to build muscle...LOL

Actually BSN Syntha 6 made me sick, It wasnt bad tasting, just hard on my gut.

I've got myofusion and it gives me a rotten gut ache. I've been mixing it with EAS whey protein so I can choke it down. EAS seems to be better quality and I can go for a rip on the bike after taking it and not get sick.

Ditch the flavoured crap altogether IMO. It's all filled with artificial sweeteners, preservatives, flavours, even colours.

I drink plain whey. I buy it in bulk, from somewhere I'm not allowed to post.

By itself, sure it tastes like crap. That's why I add half a banana and some orange/mango juice to it. Few ice cubes, and it's done. Tastes just fine, hell of a lot better than all of the artificially flavoured crap...

x2 Vanilla all the way...Hahahah... I was doing this 8 years ago, and still do. It tastes unreal. In fact they even have orange creamsicle flavored protein now ( not as good as this method altho )... Try mixing the next one with the Gatorade Iceberry.. Its like a blue rasberry milkshake... :D

If its UN whey sensation 81 cookies and cream, ya its pretty bad by itself. I had a 5 lb that I got to replace ON when price went too high. It's much better if you blend up ice and add coffee to it. Then taste is actually pretty good, still a little too much fake sugar taste, but tolerable. Wicked bad gas from that stuff though.

I wish all the protein companies would offer sample packs so you don't have to buy a huge pail just to try a new flavor.

the problem is the chocolate piece that won't mix in a shaker

Thats exactly what this crap is.... and like someone else mentioned, the crap doesnt blend well in the mixer.... so pretty much its a over sweetened, gas making, hard to clean shake. Never again.
