go to (GBG) I was the same as you gagging. This protein MA+IGP has a small cup, shake it up in about 2 inches of orange juice or what ever you like, and it is about taste less. It has so many benefits to it also. I posted a link on this forum. Check out Dr. Oz (

I was pretty lazy about the protein shake thing. I just am not a huge fan of the make the smoothie, clean the blender shenanigans. I ended up living off the Premier Protein. It just tastes like slightly thicker chocolate milk and you get 30 grams of protein (11 oz/160 calories/1g of sugar). It was the perfect low effort solution to getting all my protein in. And I just saw that they have started making "snack sized" ones that only have 100 calories and 18 grams of protein. They might be problematic because they are sold like a juice pouch with a straw and you're not really supposed to use straws...but I just did the thing where you blow into the straw and it displaces the shake out...I felt like I was taking in less air that way...

Thank you for this thread. I've been struggling with my protein intake. I'm not getting enough and feel wobbly and a bit weak. I'll be heading off now to get some protein shakes to increase my levels and using your recipes daily.

My Favorite Protien shake...
One scoop of protein powder, ¼ cup canned pumpkin puree, one cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar free maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon and a few ice cubes.

or instead of adding ice cubes you can just freeze the pumpkin puree in ice trays

One scoop of protein powder, ½ cup frozen berry blend, ¼ cup cottage cheese, 8 ounces of milk, 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg or Cinnamon.
