I started taking whey protein a week ago. I tried taking it with water (might as well just puke in a bottle and drink it, it was so nasty). Since then I have been mixing it with Skim milk and it's ok.. Anyone have any better suggestions? I have chocolate flavor

Not all whey protein is bad - I can't suggest any specific products, but the one I personally use is really quite good, and tastes pretty decent, just like chocolate milk.

I like to put it in my oatmeal with peanut butter. It makes a yummy hot breakfast that REALLY sticks to your ribs?

I have Jay Robb unflavored ($14/lb bit pricey) and thankfully it goes excellent with just about everything, but mostly for me I add about ½-scoop to cold cereal. Kashi 7 Grain + flax/bran + banana/berries + whey + agave nectar/stevia = quick, sweet, fibery, protein-filled greatness.

I mix the chocolate flavor with skim milk. Won't replace hot chocolate any time soon, but it's much more palatable than the same mixture with water!

You can get protein that tastes like fruit juice when you mix it with water. I use Syntrax Nectar and it tastes great.

I usually do two different shakes:

Chocolate/Bannana:
Chocolate Whey
Bananna
Dash bannana nector*
Chocolate Fat free lactaid
Handful of ice.
Teaspoon natural peanut butter (if i need some fat that day)

Fruit Smoothie:
Vanilla Whey
Fat free lactaid
Frozen peaches
Frozen strawberries
Dash all natural white grape juice
Ice.

Seems like a lot, but I make it in the morning, or the night before and dump in a sports bottle for the day.

*Fruit nector (at least in the USA) is generally in the ethnic foods isle of the supermarket. Look for ones low in sugar. Also available in liquor stores as they are used a lot in mixed drinks.
