TIPS on Protein Flavoring and Getting the Protein IN!

[Massive G]

I refer a lot of people to True Protein.
The main questions I get are on the flavoring.
I usually advise them to e mail Dante/TPC and they can get the exact forumlation taste they want.
But lately I have been recommending what I DO.
I get mine unflavored. This way I can make a triple strength shake and not GAG and just add the plain-almost tasteless powder to either Crystal light or in other cases a treat for me Carb Solutions Chocolate milk-which is low carb, sugar free and high protein already with casein and whey added to boost content.
the vast majority of posts I have seen over the years on message boards is about Juice. Everyone wants advice about juice which is the last thing we need if everything is in place.
Nutrition to me is very very high on the list and the # 1 complaint I see with people is "I can't eat enough."
VERY Very easy to get in 4-600 grams of protein a day.
For me it's usually 7-800, and 5 shakes-2 daily, 1 night time and 2 -1 PRE and 1 Post work out plus 4-5 solid meals daily.

One tip is to mix a "shake" with crystal light and use it as your drink with a meal..automatically upping the protein content of your meal without making you puke.

Above was ORange Tangerine crystal light.................
And below is Carb Solutions Choco Milk.............

Both mix fantastically well with Whey ION X from True Protein!

Fuckin' A on the Carb Countdown milk!!!

As for the Crystal Lite, that definitely helps but IMO you really need a lot of the stuff to flavor 80-100g of whey protein.

And I agree G, I have no idea why people are always bitching about not being able to get down 400-600g of protein, to you and I it's just another thing I guess since we've been doing it day in and day out for (me) about 6 months now.

Awesome post Massive. I was wondering what % of Calcium Caseinate you throw in your night time shake?

[Shivan]

i'm with MG and Allen on the Carb Coutdown Choco Milk. i got that stuff for the first time last week, and it allows me to add tons and tons of olive oil to it and it still tastes great. cant' taste a thing.

i know you aren't supposed to mix fat/carbs, but i use 1 serving of choco milk (2g carbs), 5tbsp olive oil (0 g carbs), about 3/4 cup of green tea (0g carbs) and of course ion exchange whey (0 g carbs), makes a great shake, that is 2 carbs, and tons of fats and protein.

i am easily adding at least a thousand calories a day by doing this.

anyone else notice that the first couple scoops out of your new true protein bag always taste much better than the rest? why is that?

Most of the time it is 50/50 casein/whey ion :dcchomp:

Hey i buy unflavoured protein too. Only cause its cheaper though. i dont add anything for taste cause im use to it.

[heavy hitter]

hey MG. you should write a damn book .all the posts you make are extremely helpful.

[lionel]

Don't you find that with whey ion x, the small lil particles fly all over the place when you bring a scoopful of em outta the storage container into your shaker bottle? Hell, my do and i get scolded everytime without fail..

Agreed.....I have to admit that I've been blending my shakes for years and they've always been frothy and foamy and hard to get down.Every previous 'instanized' protein that I had tried in the past ended up clumpy but just last week I stirred up my PWO shake instead of blending it and i swear...it tasted 10 times better that usually......and gee....It only took me 15 years to figure that one out....LOL

I stopped using a blender years ago, I hated the frothy foamyness too, couldn't get a shake down. Then I bought a hand blender, and I used that thing to death. Lasted a good 7 yrears, and that was 3-4 shakes a day, mixing up ice, banannas, frozen strawberries, peanutbutter, whatever I put in my shake it took care of. I felt bad when it finally gave out one day and just stopped spinning, but I got a new one at Target for $10 (not the one pictured though)

Just keep it by the sink, and rinse it off after mixing, nice and easy.
