When I have to drink it I find peanut butter is best at masking the flavor. That doesn't sound too good with citrus/pineapple though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-protein-drinks-taste-better#post-2157698 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 22:27:08 +0000 gingerbebe 2157698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if you can buy your own protein but if you can SFH is DELICIOUSSSSS. Both chocolate and vanilla and it's made from grassfed cows. <a href="http://www.sfh.com/shop/whey-protein/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sfh.com/shop/whey-protein/</a></p> <p>DH loves shakes made from the chocolate powder with ice, almond milk, and frozen cherries! You can also add a scoop of protein to pancake batter and it will make slightly fluffier pancakes but also a good way to "hide." If you have a high power blender like a Vitamix, make "ice cream" by blending some protein with frozen pineapple, mango, and baby spinach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-protein-drinks-taste-better#post-2157637 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 20:40:17 +0000 blackbird 2157637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Buy a non crappy protein powder and mix with a dairy product-milk or almond milk.....seriously. Flavor is surely a huge issue when you have HG, so spending an extra $5 will make a difference. </p> <p>I have Optimum Nutrition strawberry at home and it blends GREAT with a dairy. Tastes like a milkshake, truly. Add a banana and you're golden. I also have MRM natural chocolate whey and it's yummy. I also like to blend that with milk and frozen sliced banana. Optimum Nutrition is a safe and affordable bet, though, with lots of flavors! GNC sells it but it's a lot cheaper on Amazon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-protein-drinks-taste-better#post-2157599 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 19:59:25 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2157599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Syntha 6 Vanilla Ice Cream protein shake powder tastes good. When it's time to order more powder I'd give that one a try. Sometimes the base of the shake makes all the difference.</p> <p>No matter what else goes in my shake I use pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen) to add a little sweet tart taste. Also drinking the shakes really cold helps too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-protein-drinks-taste-better#post-2157592 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 19:51:25 +0000 bpcmarj 2157592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get a tub of whey protein and blender bottle. Mix it up some more and maybe mix it with milk or almond milk :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-protein-drinks-taste-better#post-2157540 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 18:52:22 +0000 MamaCate 2157540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: we use the big canisters of whey protein to make sure I am getting enough protein when pregnant and nursing. The chocolate flavor is not terrible. I stir it in milk and just try to drink it fast. Actually shaking it up (like in a pasta jar with lid) helps dissolve it more but I am usually too lazy to do it that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-protein-drinks-taste-better#post-2157525 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 18:36:19 +0000 BSB 2157525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: I need some protein, too, and I just got some vanilla flavored protein whey.</p> <p>I'll probably add it to some smoothies or add it to some refrigerated oatmeal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-protein-drinks-taste-better#post-2157521 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 18:29:18 +0000 babycanuck 2157521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: is it really unflavoured, though? If I mix it with fruit punch I won't taste it at all?</p> <p>I just put some in a glass and put it in the freezer for an hour to get it to set up, will try having it like ice cream or something until I can get to the health food store tomorrow </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-protein-drinks-taste-better#post-2157517 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 18:23:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2157517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with trying to find your own unless there is really something special you need. I imagine just whey protein which you can buy unflavored and add to any smootie or drink. </p> <p>Right now I'm drinking a carnation instant breakfast as hot chocolate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-protein-drinks-taste-better#post-2157511 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 18:13:30 +0000 regberadaisy 2157511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: can you make your own? Not sure what's in them but I'm sure you can replicate your own better tasting version?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-protein-drinks-taste-better#post-2157509 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 18:11:28 +0000 babycanuck 2157509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: I'll try it with some fresh berries and ice. This whole thing sucks :( I don't know how others do it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-protein-drinks-taste-better#post-2157508 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 18:10:36 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2157508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you blend them with anything? Ice, berries, yogurt, almond milk? I know my greens plus powder is fake berry flavour, and chucking it in a smoothie helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-make-protein-drinks-taste-better#post-2157500 Sun, 26 Apr 2015 18:03:26 +0000 babycanuck 2157500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB has me on these protein shakes...I didn't get the Ensure/Similac Mom brand, I got another brand, two flavours - citrus aka pineapple juice and berry. Both are NASTY.</p> <p>The OB and my DH are all over me about drinking these as I was in the hospital all week for HG. </p> <p>Help me make these taste better :( They make me want to puke </p>
