Not a fan of RTD protein

ACKK!!!!

I'm in Irvine, Dee.

I'm right next door in Tustin! 

I make chia pudding out of mine, love it!   Here is a great recipe along with a few others to try.  

what do the chia seeds taste like and how do they change the texture. the recipes seem interesting! thanks for sharing.

There is no flavor to the chia seeds themselves.  They just add fiber and a natural thickening agent to whatever liquid you add them to.   I have made many different chia seed puddings using RTD Protein Shakes when I have been out of regular SF pudding.   It does take longer to set, but worth it to me

thanks....good to know....will have to try it......and if I don't like it, maybe I can spread the seeds out on a planter and make my own version of a chia pet.............only kidding, but it sounds funny, doesn't it?

Personally, I think all RTD protein drinks are gross.  I much prefer using unflavored protein powder and making my own with milk (almond milk in my case), then adding whatever flavorings I want.  So much tastier that way, plus I add it to beef or chicken broth, too.  Love it that way (when I was using it, anyway--now getting my protein from solid food!)

I agree with Cathy H. about finding all RTDs gross, but, I admit, I haven't tried every single one out there ;)  I do unsweetened almond milk with optimum nutrition double rich chocolate.  I find it to be a darker chocolate than most, so it's not as sweet.  Yum.  Drinking my breakfast shake right now!

I didn't use the RTD ones as my protein shakes. However, once I started drinking coffee again - I use the vanilla and the caramel premier as my coffee "creamer". Works great for that!
