I just got my first protein shake down...

And I dont think i made it right

It kinda tasted like liquid shit water with mint. Thank you mint ice cream. :(

I can feel the effects of the protein though - 75 MG working hard. I can't wait to lift tonight, i feel like i can lift a train

Edit: WHere do the oats come in? Or is that something i eat separately of the shake....

something about that doesn't seem right.

I threw in a banana and 2 scoops of ice cream as well. instant 700 calz

What did you end up putting in it? Thin mint flavored whey powder + ice cream or whey powder + thin mint flavored ice cream?

well its this stuff in the vanilla marshmallow flavor

and i put mint ice cream and a banana in it

it really didn't taste TOO bad, but i think i put too much water in it


edit: and go on aim damnit - we're in the same boat

also - i drank the days worth in one sitting just because i was thirsty. I shall refrain from doing this in the future.

protien shakes are really important when you are starting out in comparison to exercise or routine.

The flavor combo might be a bit "much" for me. Vanilla marshmallow + mint ice cream + banana, not sure if I could stomach all those flavors together but if you like it, it's your pallet, not mine heh.

I keep mine simple (chocolate whey + some fresh fruit, normally bananas or strawberries) and use 1% milk instead of water. But however you take it, just take it. Drinking them before and/or after workouts is one of the best things I've done/could suggest (as Darkstrand pointed out).

Oh, and I'll hop on AIM, totally forgot about that.

20 oz skim milk
.5 cups of oats
1 banana
2 scoops ON Chocolate Mint

morning shake:

1 teaspoon flax
5g glutamine
1 scoop (Syntha-8)


pwo shake:

2 scoops Maltodextrin - usually works out to around 100g's of carbs
1 scoop whey (ON GS 100% Whey)

and usually i'll have another shake that will be

1 teaspoon flax
1 scoop whey

I usually don't put oats or anything extra into my shakes, and I just use water instead of milk as milk doesn't tend to agree with my stomach ;(

you get the poopsies huh

it like rots in my stomach and lets just say you don't wanna be around me once I start farting ;)

why dont u just mix it with milk

milk is expensive

:rofl:

haha suck it up you baby they taste better the more you drink them.
What are you doing taking protein shakes anyways didn't you just start working out?

wah

milk would have been the cheapest thing in that shake

I like how he threw in 2 scoops of icecream and a banana "for an instant 700 cal"

in a month when he puts on 9.5 lbs of lard and .5 lb of muscle he'll post:

So, I'm really seeing results guys and have put on 10 lbs of lean mass in the last month. What else should I eat to take me to the next level?

I use ON Whey. Once scoop in the morning after my work out then one scoop before bed. The cookies and cream is delicious.
