Why is it with all the protein shakes out there, they all taste kinda bad? A lot of the powder mixes, mix badly or are mis-leading in the actual protein type or content. Ready to drink (RTD) protein are just a bad idea, they are made and bottled hot, plus they sit around stockrooms and usually shipped in warm temps. Heat damages protein, longer exposure to heat or changing temps, more damage.
You can now order customized protein blends, flavor it the way you want, even add different types of carbs to the mix. This is a great option to get what you want or need at a better price, although you may want to hold on to old containers, most companies selling custom mixes send them to you in big heavy duty ziplock bags.
Tips for drinking bad tasting mixes:
1) Mix with Gatorade, powerade or fruit juice. This will help mask the taste most the time.
2) Don't breathe through your nose, breathe through your mouth until drink is finished. This is a very good method once you get used to it.
3) If your a smoker, Quit! About a month after quitting some of things that did taste bad won't.
