  1. I've recently started taking whey protein and Creatine (not together).
    While whey protein tastes like [censored], Creatine tastes like the urine of the
    last leper in Hell. Taking this [censored] 3 times a day is going to be brutal.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for making this stuff palatable? I've
    tried mixing with water, milk, cholate syrup, ice cream and they still taste
    like [censored].

    Try muscle milk- that stuff is good. Not really pure whey protein,
    but yummy. Most whey protein makes me want to hurl, this doesn't so
    it's what I use.

    Humm, I haven't found either to be so repulsive, although it's been a
    while since I took any creatine. As for whey, I've found Designer Whey
    mixes pretty well in many drinks and shakes. I always use vanilla and
    that way, I can flavor the result as I want, rather than being stuck
    with only chocolate for example. It works great in shakes with fruit,
    milk, orange juice, yogurt, chocolate, ...

    Lemesee, I'm pretty sure this has come up before ...

  4. I agree with Kevin; muscle milk is like drinking a milk shake; its high
    in fat, but it has the good fat. Put the creatine in the muscle milk
    when you mix it. If you are working out, then don't worry about the
    calories in muscle milk. Do you want you cake and eat it too? :-)

  5. I've been using American Sports Nutrition - American Whey, the double
    dutch chocolate flavor. Everyone told me protein shakes are horrible,
    but this stuff, I could eat it all day. I barely put in any water
    because I like just eating it in spoonfulls. I've been having five
    shakes a day for a year now and I still look forward to them. It's
    amazing with milk too. I've noticed sometimes it tastes a bit better
    if you leave it in your car on a hot day and let it cook a bit in the
    sun. Out of curiosity, has anyone tried the other flavors? I'm
    tempted to try them but I'm skeptical.

    The stuff I have is Vanilla Clouds flavoured, but in reality it's more like
    Vanilla Plastic flavoured. Very synthetic tasting. After downing a glass,
    my stomach complains for about 30 minutes, but no hurling.

    Thanks for the response.

    The stuff I have is HEAVY on the vanilla, so much so that when I mix it with
    a generous squirt of chocomilk syrup, it still tastes like 100% synthetic
    vanilla vomit.

    I got the blender out and made a shake and it wasn't quite as bad, but
    still. I keep telling myself that it would be worse on Fear Factor, and
    that helps me get it down.

    Thanks for your response.

    Too many carbs in cake! 😉

    Try a cup of milk, a scoop of whey, a whole banana, two tablespoons of
    peanut butter (I use natural pb) and flavor with some chocolate. I drink
    this after my workouts and sometimes it's breakfast if I'm running low
    on time in the morning.

    all the creatine monohydrate i've ever had has tasted like absolutely
    nothing. i've used the CFM whey from the Protein Factory, but still
    had immune system "issues". i have issues with dairy proteins. the
    best i can do is mozzarella and farmer's cheese. if i'm on that eating
    some of the most pure whey isn't ruining my life. just my body. for
    some people, attempting to make use of the amazing whey is more an
    exercise in futility. it's war, man.

    that said.. i've successfully knocked back quality whey in regular
    sugars, like honeys, molasseses (molassi?), sucanat, palm sugar, maple
    syrup, rehydrated pineapple chunks (blended in blender). i usually
    mixed the creatine in with those, always used the creatine with the
    high-carb insulin spiking meals. and alpha lipoic acid (or r-lipoic
    acid). plump up into a new suit of armor. ever drink a shot of
    tribulus? i don't like eating the gelatin capsules, so i end up mixing
    my capsules into a shot of water. eeeegggakkgrokuggg!! ewww..
    <shudder>

  13. 1 scoop Iron Tek Whey + 6g Creatine + 70g Dextrose=PWO goodness.

    Try drinking pure unflavoured hydrolysed whey protein isolate.

    It's flavoured, Mr. Genius.

    Flavoured with an obnoxious, supposed Grape flavour.

    Try drinking pure unflavoured hydrolysed whey protein isolate.

    All the shops that I can get to all insist on stocking flavoured product. I
    can't get plain Creatine or whey unless I mail-order it.

    if it was unflavoured, then I'd be laughing. Unfortunately the shgops I can
    get to all stock flavoured product.
