yes I've always wondered about these thread's, I was going to call you a girls private's when this thread started but thought I'd mind my own business.
But to be fair yes, the specific protein's you can buy can taste utterly rank even in a very small quantity mixed with "normal" protein.
I'm not even sure why, with EAA's for instance, well you have the same stuff in unflavoured protein but it doesn't stink or taste foul. That stuff did actually almost make me gag, stuff I got was, i dunno sulfur like, awful off egg's taste, it was just wrong. Very glad I bought a tiny amount to test, very very very glad.
Is it the process leaves something behind with the EAA's that tastes foul or something, or are the EAA's just part of a longer chain in normal protein while separated its in its specific chain and nothing more.
But unflavoured, I really do like the stuff, its a tad bland on its own, a little cocoa powder which is actually very very good for you, through in some sucralose(because cocoa powder is a little bitter) blended in milk(soya milk, the good stuff) tastes really really good. The only food i'd actually prefer to be eating is pizza.
