Now have a nice upper body buzz going lol

@Linus, can't you add the Vega to smoothies? A co-worker of mine who is glutine sensitive uses it and I think adds it to homemade shakes...will ask tomorrow.

Ya but I find (as I do with most protein shakes) there is this taste.. I remember when I used to use Myoplex. Gawd. Stuff was so chalky to me. I have the berry flavour and addd it to my blueberry/strawberry/banana/Almond milk smoothie today (one scoop). Wasn't too bad but still tasted it a bit in the background..

Ah yeah, I see what you mean. I'm not entirely sure you'd get away from that taste completely with a plain flavour/flavourless option, though.

I'm not sure about how it is with vegan protein supplements since I'm not vegan and haven't really explored them, but I bought a tub of plain/flavourless whey powder (Isoflex) in the past and it was absolutely horrible. That funky taste was there, but much stronger even when mixed with fruits/berries. I think that is just the nature of protein powder, tbh. Could very well be different with the vegan options, though.

The Cardio Queen is back! I've had two days of fantabulous workouts and am firmly back on track with eating properly. A new month brings a new mentality.

Gold Standard Whey is the most palatable. Also sells in 10lb bags. Vanilla or Rocky Road. I also spruce mine up with cherries, coffee, strawberries dep on the flavor. I make it a dessert. And my diet was put together with recipes from an Exec Chef friend of mine. Weightlifting bon appetit
