I’m back on US soil after a wonderful week in Portugal. You can view pictures from my trip on my Instagram page (be sure to follow me also).
While in Portugal, I tried to eat protein bars since I wasn’t able to bring my protein shakes. Alas, I couldn’t get past the taste. I bought a few different types but they all tastes very bitter. I even plugged my nose while I ate them. That worked to block the taste as I chewed but the second I took a break, the bitterness would flood my mouth.
On the plus side, my dog Dash found them in my suitcase and decided they were delish.
In my recent regimen video, I was drinking Core Power protein shakes. They tastes great but are a little pricey at $3 a bottle. I went to Walmart and found a 4 pack of Muscle Milk for $6. Each shake has 20 grams of protein (compared to Core Power’s 26 grams). I drank one this morning and while the taste is okay, it has a strong after taste that lingers on your tongue. I brushed my teeth after I drank it and the taste was still there. Perhaps I’ll wash it down with grapefruit juice next time.
What protein shake drinks do you recommend? I need something ready-made, high protein content and tasty.
