Cheapest way to find a protein shake you like
So I bought some vanilla whey protein. ICK ICK ICK. I like the chocolate fine but this vanilla is horrid. My question is do any of you know where I can find samples of the different whey protein. I hate spending money on something that I will never use. Are there any companies or websites that do that? I'm a newb here. Anyone want this nasty crap I just bought? lol
Before you give up in the vanilla shake, try doctoring it up. I use lots of different SF syrups..just whatever strikes my mood at the time. I get the syrups everywhere..Amazon, Wal-Mart, World Market...I also change up what I mix vanilla with--sometimes water/Crystal Lite/Coffee...I also often use frozen banana pieces and frozen berries, in place of ice-the shake will be thicker, and won't get "watered down"...
Use your imagination..I bet you will surprise yourself!
Edited to add:
My personal fave protein shake is Click. I buy it thru Amazon, as I find it to have the best "auto ship" prices. I prefer my Click warm. Cold things, first thing in the morning, don't sit well with Oscar (my grouchy pouch)

We Can Do Hard Things
I do find I can drink the Premire RTD Vanilla (Sam's Club), but tend to doctor them with SF flavored syrups, PB2 or decaf coffee, but in a pinch I can drnk them plain.. Other Vanilla shakes I have tried are just plain yucky. I also love the Chicken Protein Soup from Unjury. Tastes like Cup-o-Soup.

hey i know you asked abt samples but what i did was i bought the big tub of protein in the black in orange container from walmart for like $15. i bought it blindly w/o even thinking about the possibilty that i may hate it.. silly me. but it turns out that ii actually like it but the trick is to also get the sugar free dark chocolate jello mix too. i mix 160z lactaid milk 2 scoops of the protein (which is my daily required amnt b/c each scoop is 32 g protein) and about 1/3 of the pudding mix and VOILA it takes just like chocolate milk to me. if you like choc milk its great. also im a big starbucks frappuccino drinker so if you pour it over crushed ice or blend it with ice it good that way too! hope this helps for variety!
good luck!
