To all those here that work out:

Anyone here have a good protein shake/drink that they use after workouts that actually won't make you want to puke? I'm taking whey right now, and it's got quite a bit of protein with no carbs or sugars, but my god... the taste. YUCK.

Anyone have one that's actually good for you, but is easy to go down?

Oh, and try mixing that god awful goop with water. I was about to puke. I can only stand it in milk... still, shitty stuff.

Definitely stay away from mixing it was water - I don't think that works with any of 'em.

The last batch of powder I got was called American Whey (chocolate flavor), and that was pretty decent. It's nearly impossible to find one that's both effective and tastes like an actual milkshake, but the stuff I mentioned above is a pretty good balance. It's available in GNC I believe.

Pro-Rated whey protein isn't that bad, and it has over 20 grams of Protein per serving. I haven't tasted a protein shake that I didn't like though, so you might find that Pro-Rated also tastes like crap :buttrock:

...yeah my Pimp Juice/Jizsm skeeted out my Power Rod. *I've never known a chick who didn't like my lovin' tea spoon of protein up to and including my wife. Though I doubt you want me to bottle up my man juice. I sure hope not.

i usually just mix the one serving of protein powder with a cup of milk, one banana, and a cup of low/not-fat vanilla ice cream. sometimes i mix it up with different fruits such as avocado, orange, etc.

Try different flavors and mixing in your favorite fruit and with ice maybe. Some of the drinks taste decent the first sip then after that taste like shit, but you can get used to the taste and start to like it after a couple weeks.

Don't know much about shake mixes, but the ProMax brand of protein/meal replacement bars are really tasty, come in a wide variety of flavors and pack 20 grams per bar, which is about 40% of your RDA of protein. Cheap too, about $1.19 a piece at Trader Joe's.

I eat those Protein Bars by PowerBar, I'm pretty sure it is. Somewhere around 25g of protein in that single bar. The peanut butter ones actually taste pretty good.

I'm tellin' you man, you don't want none of this. My cock is growing larger every day, and will soon be as big as classicmode1985's :tickled: :tickled: :tickled:

Do you really think it's wise to compete with something like that :spock: ???

The bars taste just fine, but I'm trying to stay away from the fat and sugars. If you see these bars, they're loaded with both.

Steak? Actually, that's good, but also pretty high in some fats and what not. Tuna, right out of the can, is the only real good food replacement.

It's not how large your wang is, it's how you use it. :smirk:

I am well versed in the ways of the wang, the battle shall continue!

*sigh* my god, it's like I'm in Jr High school all over again.

I'll settle this: galfordo your wang is deffinately bigger. Your mighty three incher deffinately beats shir0's puny two-and-a-half incher.
There. done.

If your really trying to 'buff' up, I wouldn't take Whey.

Doing me good so far... so.... why wouldn't you take it?

I'm not looking for fat, here, people. So weight gainer isn't what I want. I'm trying to keep a 7% body fat here.
