I have never tried protein shake before so I don’t know how it’s supposed to taste like. I guess I’m gonna try to put some almond milk in it and see.

I've bought ON whey protein powder before, the taste is good.

I guess it entirely depends on how much you spent to get what kind of quality.

Can share the links? Do you mix anything?

I realise that it's the stevia in the HEAL proteins. The stevia makes them taste freaking weird. I mixed with Soy Milk now. Even the Pea Protein one tastes weird and i realise that it's the same taste that's making it horrible. It's the damn stevia.

my advice is to stick with "normal" flavor, chocolate, coffee those are fine. The "fancier" the flavor is the weirder it's going to taste due to all those artificial flavoring they use.

Personally i prefer chocolate whey mixed with almond milk, quite an enjoyable taste.

Without proper training all the protein you take is just extra calorie. I wished if we could bulk up by just drinking protein innocent.gif

I just calculated. Adding soy milk or any milk itself will only make the protein shake more or less 300-350 calories. Which is like super a lot. I guess I will just have to chug them with water.

per how many ML?

the protein sachet needs about 350ML of water. So if it's 83 calories per 100ML.

350ML is easily 290 calories + protein about 150 calories?

So the total is easily 440 calories. At that point, just buy a breakfast burger from McD. xD

Pretty wrong misconception of saying without proper training all the protein u took just extra calorie because at the end of day its how much calories and macros u need to hit

Its all about proper nutrition and knowing what u eat

Also u can easily drinking protein nowdays unless u wouldnt care about those taste anymore

You can add a bit of honey to the mix as honey is a natural sweetener.

Any reason why Oat is not in the menu? To me it can replace breakfast and last for a while, and if you feel its too blant can try add something else like Milk, Milo etc.

Usually I just add hot water, occasionally some milk powder from Omega Plus

Oat is high in protein too and it is filling for breakfast replacement, if you need more you may add some milk powder of your choice.
