Why do protein shakes and bars taste so awful?!?!


Question: Why do protein shakes and bars taste so awful!?!!?
is it the actual protein that gives these protein products the chalky texture and awful taste!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
If it is chalky you are not using enough liquid to break it down - try topping it up with some skimmed milk/fruit juice and you will lose the chalkiness!.
The bars taste yuck because its not 'proper' chocolate, its like a carob substitute - try cooking with them to make low fat/high protein snacks like I do!Www@FoodAQ@Com

i love protein bars and shakes!. you need to purchase the right kind though!. powerbar and clif builder bars are great, they actually taste indulgent haha :) and for shakes i make my own with protein powder, soy nonfat ice cream, and lowfat milk!. it is really good!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I make soy protein shakes alot for lunch and they taste perfectly fine!. I use Vanilla Soy Protein; with fruit juice, frozen fruit and ice!. Sometimes I'll add a banana or yogurt, or even a scoop of Natural Vanilla Bean ice cream!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You must be eating the wrong kinds of shakes and bars!. A lot of bars and shakes taste great now, you should find brands that don't taste like dog food!. I can't say I've had a chalky one in a long time!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think they have really came a long way since the chalky days - you need to try different ones until you come across one you like!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
