how to make protein powder not yucky?

Anonymous
I've jumped on the protein powder bandwagon. But man, is it icky. Tastes like someone mixed beef boullion into chocolate pudding. I ate it mixed with plain yogurt. How do you eat it so it is more palatable?

I find it hard to get enough protein without easting a lot of meat, and I don't want to eat a lot of meat for environmental reasons.

Why not say yucky and icky? MYOB.

I agree with focusing on real protein sources (plenty of non-meat ones). But if you must - blend into smoothies or iced coffee/lattes.

Lots of inspo for recipes on tik tok.

So eat beans, peas, and tofu. Packed with protein. There are also plant based protein powders which taste better IME.

Try different brands. I find the Quest brand tastes the best. I mix their vanilla protein powder with skim milk and ice and I can trick myself into thinking it's a vanilla milkshake. I also mix their salted caramel flavor with my iced coffee and it tastes kind of like a salted caramel latte if you don't think about it too hard.

Try a vanilla flavor then mix with frozen fruit. While no brand is delicious, some taste better than others so you may want to try out other flavors or brands.

Thanks. I will try other flavors & a shake.

I am currently eating the plant based powder, pb/chocolate flavor.

And I know about Greek yogurt and beans! Just have a hard time getting the recommended amount through food sources. Probably could do it if I gave up all junk food and wine and carefully mapped out my diet, but I'm not willing to do that.

Definitely try other brands as well as some of the already mixed ones (Fairlife, Premier). Some bars are really good too.

All the flavored ones are disgusting. Many taste of artificial sweeteners. I like the orgain unflavored.

Eat meat and beans. You don't need THAT much meat to hit your protein goals. Add in the rest with beans.
