What is the Best Tasting Protein Shake?

[NYGiantz3109]

I have taken Nitro Tech some no name Whey Protein. Got sick of both of them, and saw minimal results. What do you guys recommend for a college kid that isn't looking to get enormous, but slighlty larger while remaining cut. Again keeping taste in mind!

PS. I do cardio 3 times a week do you guys think it is necessary to do it every day?

Cardio - everyday no way!! 3 times a week is plenty. with a high level of activity you should use a protein supplement that has carbs in it too. Maybe a meal replacement like Myoplex would be good, cut in half so you get 21 grams of protein instead of the 42.

Probably Beverley, which is way too expensive for me. It takes me about 30 seconds to drink a shake, I give 2 shyts what it tastes like.

I go to Costco where it is $19.99 for 6 pounds.

I like Optimum Nutrition double chocolate...just not taste bad with water and great with a little milk. I also will be checking out Mudges suggestion at 19.99 for 6 lbs!!

The best tasting shakes out their are whey gourmet White chocolate, and peanut butter. As a college student I would recommend buying the bulk concentrate protein powders. These are way cheaper than Isolate and still of good quality.

Here in the UK I use Prolab when bulking or Extreme Whey, for cutting I like Reflex Micro Whey, the Instant taste a lot better though

optimum nutrition double rich chocolate is cheap and tasty.

muscle milk cookies n cream is expensive and very tasty.

Well, You won't get "enormous" just by having a couple of protein shakes a day, so do not worry about that.

IMO, Nectar by Syntrax tastes pretty good, Muscle Milk also, but the best ratio flavor/price has to be Optimum Nutrition either vainilla or chocolate and you can disolve that easily in Milk or water with just a spoon.

Oh, white chocolate? Which brand makes white chocolate? I've had peanut butter chocolate protein but they all taste too fake. I'd rather just throw some Natty Peanut Butter into some chocolate whey.
I am interested in that white chocolate flavour though. sounds yummy!

Pretty much how I look at it.

Cardio every day whittles me down to a puny peice of nothing, stick to 3x a week, moderate cardio IMO - I prefer walking over real cardio any day.

Dont worry about protein shakes making you huge, it takes alot more than that (total calories for one thing, a few hundred extra calories from protein isn't going to make you Ronnie Coleman rest assured).

Thanks for the insight.

I plan on changing my workout regiment when I finish living in the dorm. Right now I am 19 5'9" 176lb probably around 15% body fat, and natural. Want to be around 168 but under 10% bf. But have a LARGER look than I currently do.

I plan on making this my routine next year:

Diet:
1 - 9 AM - Breakfast - 1 whole egg plus 3 egg whites Slice of Whole Wheat
2 - 11 AM - Whey Protein Shake (2 scoops of natty peanut butter)
3 - 1 PM - Lunch - Ground beef, chicken, tuna steak, or lean steak with Green Veggie (Pan fried with garlic and little olive oil) and Sweet Potato or Brown rice. 3 Hard boiled egg whites.
4 - 5PM - Post Workout - Same as 11AM but with a TBSP of Flax
5 - 7PM - Dinner - Chicken and Salad (Oil and Balsamic) and and Orange or other fruit.
6 - 9PM - Tuna - Either little lite mayo, tomato onion black pepper, or olive oil balsamic tomato and black pepper, or lemon oil and black pepper. On wheat bread or sometimes by itself.

Multi Vitamin, Ginseng 200mg gel, and vitamin c 500mg.

While only drinking milk, cranberry juice, and water, beer unfortuenatley and a glass of red wine a day.

Cardio:
Every other day 8 minute mile heavy jog.

Work out:
3 on (chest tri's, back bi's, shoulders legs) 1 off. 60 basic sit ups daily for abs.

What do you guys think I should alter? I'll probably get complaints about the way I plan on preparing the vegetables which I am aware of, but what else could I add to become a 5'9" 170 piece of muscle.

PS: I would like to know what is a simple non time consuming daily ab workout. And what are your opinions on Soy Chips?
