Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Since I find most of the flavored protein a little too sweet, I couldn't stand the syrups in flavored proteins. So I make a " base shake " with 1/2 scoop of vanilla (adds creaminess, vanilla), and one scoop of SciFit Plain. TO this I add syrups . . . drank a lot of eggnog (eggnog syrup, brandy extract, nutmeg) this holiday season. I love Toasted Hazelnut, ed English Toffee, Spiced Chai . . . It works well for me . . . Subject: A Protein Idea...let me know what you think! Something occurred to me today while I was making myself yet another yummy protein drink with " flavorless " protein. I'm not that thrilled with the flavor or aftertaste of it, but it's 17g of protein in one scoop, so I like it. What I do, though, is put a packet of Splenda in it and a couple of drops of vanilla extract, and voila, I have a protein drink that actually tastes better than this vanilla protein drink I have been using. So I started thinking: why not combine unflavored protein with sugar-free Torani or DaVinci syrups? Wouldn't that be good if it worked? Instead of having to deal with the usual chocolate/vanilla/fruit flavors, imagine having a hazelnut drink. Or macadamia. Or coconut. Or cola. Or butter rum! They have a bezillion flavors--shouldn't some of them work with unflavored protein? Let me know your opinion! I'm going to try it! Hawkridge in Washington State.
