Protein Shakes


Recommended Posts

Dunno if this has been discussed here before. But these things are horrible...

 

Recommendation on the pack suggests 150ml of water to a 21gr scoop. now my question, it does taste slightly better with milk, however 150ml milk makes it like a double thick milkshake, kinda chewing it down. Any downsides to using more milk? So that it's more like a nesquik?

Try mixing 50/50 milk and water. That's what I do.

Then why use it?

 

I have stopped using shakes. Decent food and a Clover Super M after a hard race/ride works perfectly for me.

the brand/quality plays a big role with the texture and taste.

 

The more expensive/more pure whey proteins taste good, and done get too thick so are easier to down.

 

Try BSN Syntha 6, plenty flavours or

Optimum Nutriton, Gold standard whey

 

Be prepared to to pay R750 upwards for these.

Go for a decent Whey Protein, Optimum Nutrition, Dymatize or Muscletech.  Mixes easier otherwise you can use Hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, which is the best.  Very expensive though.

I have used Protien shakes for about 15 years, they are mostly horrible, especially usn. The new Nutritech range is fantastic, the cream soda aswell as the cookies and cream flavour is really nice. Even with water. They are also affordable at R620 for 3.2kg.

Takealot. The Choc mint is not that nice. Have not tried the Banana, but honestly, the american ice cream soda tastes exactly like green nesquik. The cookies and cream is also really nice.
