hello!

so, I ordered up some Myoplex whey protein in the big tub. and wow, that is a big tub. I tried what they suggested on the label (4 scoops in 8 oz of cold filtered water) and, well, my tastebuds weren't happy with me.

the solution I've found is that I'll add 2 scoops to an 8 oz glass of orange juice in the morning. I know that juice has a fair amount of carbs in it from the sugar content, but it's tasty and I that's my morning "meal".

is there a better way I can / should be doing this? I'd love to have more whey protein during the day / evening, but I can't see drinking 3 glasses of OJ a day. or should I?

oh, my wife and I have also found that they whey protein's vanilla flavor really adds to the Jell-O nonfat sugarfree vanilla pudding. :) a treat for ourselves every so often.

cheers!

Blah! I used Myoplex about 6 years ago. I used to have to hold my nose and gulp it down. Last time I had the stuff I almost vomitted.

I now use whatever Whey taste decent and is very thin. Myoplex was too darn thick.

If it is chocolate then try blending up a banana and some ice cubes. I recommend just chugging it with water but I had to ease my way into that mindset. I went from a banana and 2% milk, down to skim milk and now I drink it with water. I use Optimum and I think it is the best stuff out there!
