I taste tested my first protein shake this morning: pink grapefruit by Nectar. I mixed it in my new bullett blender, adding 2 cups of water per 1/2 cup of powdered whey protein. I made sure to add the water first, then the powder so it wouldn't clump up (thanks, Kate!).
Honestly, it wasn't that bad. The worst part is the odor: there's a vaguely medicinal quality to it, like an antiobiotic smell. It wasn't gritty or especially thick, and the grapefruit taste helped mask the whey flavor. I'll probably try it again, but maybe next time I'll add some ice cubes.
I can already tell my problem is going to be sipping instead of gulping. I tend to shotgun liquids I don't like in order to taste as little as possible. When I have the pouch, that's not possible so I am really going to focus on small sips and not getting frustrated when it takes an hour for me to finish a glass of liquid.
I'll keep you posted!
