So I decided to try that Myoplex stuff… picked up a 4 pack of French Vanilla from TOPS. **TASTES LIKE CRAP :bloated:**. I don’t know why they labeled it French Vanilla, I can’t taste _any_ vanilla. It’s just tasteless sludge with a weird after taste. Ugh. ---

> [@Rx3](#): > > Ugh, tried the chocolate one, had to stop myself from gagging. No more myoplex for me i’d skip the myoplex all together. whenever you buy something in an RTD (ready-to-drink) you usually end up sacrificing taste for stability/shelf life/ect. since it sounds like you’re on the fence about whey as it is, i only have one recommendation for you. try nature’s best isopure; i like the pineapple orange banana flavor. toss two scoops (50g of protein) in the blender with 5-6 frozen strawberries (~$8-9 for a big-ass big at bj’s btw) and ~6-8 oz of OJ – now **that’s the shit**. it tastes like a smoothie you’d get from mrs. fields or some shit… that’s all i can compare it to. it’s not cheap, but personally i think it’s worth it if you don’t have to choke and gag it down. [http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/nb/lowcarb.html](http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/nb/lowcarb.html) btw [bb.com](http://bb.com) doesn’t have the cheapest internet price. you can score it for \<$30 @ [vitamindeal.com](http://vitamindeal.com) last time i checked. > [@Zer0DazE](#): > > Muscle Milk \> \* > > i haven’t had a bad flavor yet, and they have like 20 different ones. > > cookies n cream with vanilla soy milk is the bomb shit. yeah; muscle milk does taste **great** (the strawberry tastes just like nestle quick) BUT – look at the label – it has **18 grams of fat** per serving. :eek: if you’re drinking one shake a day as a PWO meal or meal replacement it’s probably not a big deal at all. now if you start supplementing with 3-4 servings a day… well… you might start packin’ it on around the waistline in a hurry. just a word of caution. 😉 ---

[font=Verdana][size=2][font=Verdana][size=2][font=Verdana][size=2][font=Verdana][size=2]that’s an excellent point; i guess i’m saying that 18 grams a bit excessive. that’s easily six times more than your average whey protein powder and people might not be aware of that if they’re just picking it up off the shelf. personally, i prefer to get my good fats in the form of flax seed/fish oils or walnuts though.
