I just read the window of opportuniy, and I wanted to know if any of you use flavored whey in your PWO shake? Would this make it too sweet with the Dextrose and Malto? BTW, this is a great site, I've been lurking for a while and am starting the 13 weeks to hardcore fat burning.

I use the optimum nutrition chocolate, and it's like eating a liquid hershey bar...

It's really good, but it takes a while to get used to how sweet it is.

Syntrax apple or lemon. It's awesome but Syntrax is expensive. Didn't care for the cherry or crystal sky.

I had the mistake of getting a 5lb jug of ON Cookies n' Cream... man is that stuff gross! They try and emmulate cookies n' cream by making little specs of protein that act as "cookie chunks" but man that texture just adds to the nastiness!

It didn't take long at all for me....i loved it immediately. Its not too sweet, and if your buds thinks it is, then just add more water.

I just can't stand it! The taste isn't all that bad, but the texture with the little protein "cookie chunks" /forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif

<font color="blue">It's just to bad we can't throw a Nestle's Cookies & Cream Bar or two in a blender with a box of Cookie Crisp for our PWO shake right guys? Now that is what I am talking about!!

But word up on the Cookies & Cream, I had 5 scoops of the wholesome goodness today in my carb uptified oats action /forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif </font>

I use primaforce's substance Wpi Grape Splash......i love it probably the best tasting protein in my opinion.

I typically use Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade. Yummy. But their cherry is also tasty. And I've liked a couple samples I got of Primaforce's WPI Grape.

Thanks to your suggestion I bought both the grape and watermellon and I do like the grape PWO. Watermellon doesn't taste that great to me PWO, but as a straight whey shake it's pretty good. The nice thing is zero fat so the uptake is that much quicker PWO. /forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

But the recipe calls for a "precise" amount of water, so you probably don't want to be adding more or less than what it calls for. Gotta get the right osmolarity! /forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I don't find it that sweet because I split up my PWO shake in two shaker cups (split the ingredients in half). The first one I drink in 15 minutes after the end of my workout and the second one I sip on for the next 30-45 minutes. Tastes awesome with ON's chocolate whey!

ON Strawberry tastes terrible to me... ON Chocolate is better than the rest I've tried.
