Body Fortress Strawberry

Sorry if this is beating a dead horse, but just got the huge tub of Body Fortress Strawberry from Wal-Mart.  Very reasonable at $14, however I mixed it with skim and I couldn't even do a mouth full.  Very gritty, bitter almost metalic tasting, just horrible.  Can anyone give me any suggestions to jazz it up?  Also, I've heard the Vanilla is better, any input before I go out and buy it?  Going to GNC in a little bit to get some ideas.  I've got Unjury Vanilla and Chocolate that are ok, just smell a little funky at first.  I've tried the Bariatric Advantage various flavors and they were probably the best, just want something I don't have to order online.  Sorry for the ramble, just needing ideas.  THANKS!

 The metallic taste is probably not the protein powder ... it's leftover anesthesia from your surgery.  It'll last about 10-14 days.  

I use the strawberry BF as a base for my fruit smoothies.  But you're probably not cleared for fruit yet, so maybe try some SF flavored syrups (raspberry?) or maybe a splash of crystal light for a flavor boost.  Try mixing the BF and milk with some ice cubes in the blender for super thick Frosty consistance and eat it with a spoon.  Or mix it with pudding (1/2 scoop to 1 vnilla pudding cup).  

right after my surgery I couldn't do the BF brand even though I loved it pre-op.  SO I tried a bunch of other brands/flavors.  But suddenly at about the 2 month mark I like BF again and now it's the only kind I use most of the time. 

Sounds good, thanks for your help!

I us BF Strawberry but I mix it with strawberry and banana so it's more like a smoothie than a proyein drink and it tastes awesome.

I too use to BF brands. So much protein for the price is the main reason. As for the taste well I dont like any of the shakes. But I am still pre-op and just trying out the protien. I bought the cookie and cream one and I add 1 pouch of Nescafe instand decafe coffee to and 1 tsp sugar free caramel! I always put ice and that makes  huge differance. Yumm it is a mocha protein shake! I like to use vanilla throw in some sugar free applesauce and tons of cinnamon and it is great! I also use the chocolate and throw in 1 tsp sugar free natural peanut butter. Reese cup shake! So far so good. I am replacing 1 meal a day now. Next faze is 2 meals a day!
