Getting a blender dirty for whey? Glass, water, spoon.

If you don't like the taste and consistency of whey, try some soy protein, then you'll find out what awful really is.

Big ole scoop of whey
A serving of frozen mixed berries
Soy milk
OJ
Cranberry Juice
Maybe a banana

It's more of a meal replacement, but it's good.

Screw complicated recipes and blenders.

If you are serious about taking the protein with regularity, you will want to do it quick and easy.

Buy a shaker cup, mix in one or two scoops of powder with 8-10 ozs of skim milk, shake for 30 seconds and guzzle it down.

Don't treat your shakes like meals and don't make them taste yummy or be filling. They are supposed to SUPPLEMENT your diet, not replace it.

Man I agree 100%. I don't see how all these people on here have time to mess around with blenders and crap once or twice a day.

REAL lifters don't get all wussy about the taste.

You drink it with milk. It's easily doable with milk Vanilla + Water = gag.

No, that's just a dumb man.

I'll agree, protein shakes are supposed to taste GREAT. Christ, it's what, 2-3 seconds out of the day? So for 2-3 seconds a couple times per day you drink something that isn't wonderful (yet certainly is drinkable).

Buy a shaker, buy protein. Fill water and protein in shaker. Shake. Drink. Done.

With the powder, just toss it into a blender with some skim milk, ice, and blend. Add a banana if you want (depending on the flavor).

If you want just pure 100% whey protein, try Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey.

MuscleMilk ROCKS but, it tastes good because it's loaded with fat. I think one serving is between 18-20grams of fat. Good fats mind you, but Muscle Milk isn't designed to be a person's primary protein shake. I personally used it as my last "meal" before going to bed. The slow absorption time helps throughout the "fasting" period of sleep.

When I use chocolate flavor, i 'll throw in milk, a banana, and maybe some oatmeal.

I should mention that I pre-freeze the banana. That gives the shake a more milkshake/smoothy texture.

If it's vanilla or strawberry, i'll just put in some milk and whatever fruit i have lying around the house.

I'm used to buying sometimes Protein Plus after workout, not exactly sure what it is other than its in brown bottles, loooove that stuff

What I'm thinking of buying myself is EAS Simply Protein Complete Whey, but if its anything like the myoplex then I think I'll skip it

if money isnt an issue i'd recommend buying a case of the isopure pre-bottled protein drinks. They are by far the best tasting 100% protein drink I've ever had. But they are about doubl eth ecost of the myoplex or the big jugs of not-so-pure and not-so-tasty alternatives. But other than that mixing with milk in a blender improves the taste significantly from any varieties that i've experienced.

doesnt sound like a bad idea, I'd rather do something I enjoy than something I hate
Even been thinkinf of buying just lots of protein plus drinks at wholesale if I can get them, not sure if I can get isopure here

http://www.isopureoutlet.com/inc/sdetail/82

I ordered from them but I'm not very optemistic, got a order shipped status, still no idea how much shipping was, my credit card still hasnt been charged and whats worst the email they give in the email I got was "onlinesupplements@hotmail.com" ... hotmail.com?? I'm scared
