protein shakes... finally found one that i love

hi all. just wanted to share.... I HATE protein shakes. They make me GAG! the atkins, the EAS, etc... BLECH!!! The ones that taste ok, smell awful... the ones that smell ok, taste awful... the ones that taste ok, are chalky/gritty. Yadda yadda..............................................

OK, enough with my rant.... just wanted to let you all know that I just bought BSN Dessert chocolate fudge pudding and BSN Dessert whipped vanilla cream. While I have not tried the vanilla yet, I am drinking the chocolate as I type this and it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!!!! I added 1/2 banana and used 5oz of skim milk and water combined. I just figured I would share... especially since there are lots of pre-ops who ask. It's not like a chocolate ice cream shake, let's not get crazy, but it exceeds my expectations- i am actually enjoying my pre-workout shake!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you like the taste of Reece's, put a spoon of PB2 or Coconut SF syrup and it's delicious.  I like the PB2 best. 

I have not seen that brand (bsn).  If I do I will try it.  I think Muscle Milk is the best tasting one of all I have tried.   I use skim milk with some fruit most times.  My wife mixes it with water(filtered), but she uses twice as much powder..

FYI - BSN's Banana Cream Pudding is great as well! I will be ordering the Whipped Vanilla Cream next time. I can't wait to taste it.

AMEN girl...you know I swear by these shakes alone.  Here is a post to another thread yesterday...hope it helps the newbies (and the vets!!!):

I have tried every shake under the sun and by far the best ones in my opinion are BSN Lean Dessert Protein Powders.  They taste like dessert and I look forward to them every morning.  My favorite flavors are Chocolate Fudge Pudding, Whipped Vanilla Cream, Banana Cream Pudding & Fresh Cinnamon Roll.  I make them in my Magic Bullet  or blender with ice (I never use a shaker bottle, its just not the same texture) with almond milk instead of water so they are really creamy like a real milkshake.  I also add 2T of PB2 (peanut butter substitute) for added protein & flavor.  Finally, I add 1 or 2 pumps of one of my 18 flavors of DaVinci Sugar-Free Flavored Syrups.  Here are some of my favorite combos:

Pina Colada - Vanilla protein with 1T of SF Coconut Syrup and 1T of SF Pineapple Syrup
Almond Joy - Chocolate protein with 1T of SF Coconut Syrup and 1T of SF Almond Syrup
Banana Split - Banana Creme Pudding protein with 1T of SF Strawberry Syrup and 1T of SF Pineapple Syrup
Black Forest Cake - Chocolate protein with 1T of SF Cherry Syrup and 1T of SF Marshmallow Syrup
Reese's PB Cup - Chocolate protein with 1T of SF Chocolate Syrup and 1T of SF Peanut Butter Syrup
50/50 Bar - Vanilla protein with 1T of SF French Vanilla Syrup and 1T of SF Orange Syrup
Peaches & Cream Cobbler - Vanilla protein with 1T of SF Peach Syrup and 1T of SF Butterscotch Syrup
Strawberries & Cream - Vanilla protein with 1T of SF Strawberry Syrup and 1T of SF Marshmallow Syrup
Caramello Bar - Chocolate protein with 2T of SF Caramel Syrup
Kahlua & Cream - Vanilla protein with 1T of SF Irish Cream Syrup and 1/4c of cold coffee
Fluffer-Nutter - Banana Creme Pudding protein with 1T of SF Peanut Butter Syrup and 1T of SF Marshmallow Syrup
PB&J - Vanilla protein with 1T of SF Peanut Butter Syrup and 1T of SF Strawberry Syrup
Pumpkin Pie - Cinnamon Roll protein with 2T of SF Pumpkin Pie Syrup

awesome! i find the syrups to be disappointing... only because they have these yummy names and the taste does not live up to the preconceived notions i had upon ordering them. i am just happy that there's a shake that i can handle by itself without having to doctor the thing up so that it's palatable. PB2 is my fave. just ordered the chocolate PB@ today, as a matter of fact, so i can test it out. 

I LOVE Lean Dessert! And I see your a DaVinci junkie also! lol. I have about 10 flavors of the sf syrups. I add it to protein shakes, yogurt, sf pudding and the Quaker weight control oatmeal. Yum!

Jaxmom the Lean Dessert is awesome! Chocolate coconut is my favorite flavor.

I have used the PB2 before also and love that. Recently another bandster told me about Better n Peanut Butter. They have it at Trader Joe's and it is low fat and low cal also. I have been making peanut butter protein shakes with it.

I just started using Better-N-Peanut Butter too and I LOVE that stuff!!

where do u find this brand?
