    Mix it up in a blender with some fruit, natural yoghurt and some juice. That's what I did with that protein powder stuff.

    I mix mine with water usually and yes it tastes pretty bad also, but I used milk yesterday and I have to say it tasted a hell of alot better. Maybe give that a try.

    I have serious mass also, if you look on the side of the bag it gives you various options of what to add to your weight gainer mainly for added caloric value but also for some taste, i just take mine with milk as i dont have a blender. Here could be another idea: Put the serious mass(probably vanilla flavour for this) into a blender with milk, add a banana, honey, natural yoghurt, some ice and if you have liquid flax seed oil put it in as it could make the flax easier to digeste. Voi la! you have one "serious" weight gainer shake :D


    Possibilities are endless if you really think about it, as others have said add some juice with varieties of fruit either.

    When you first start taking gainers it can be hard on the digestive system, making you feel ill and what not. Some good advice has already been said, all I will add is to drink it slowly and let you stomach deal with it, maybe mix it with water first before you move onto milk, this will ease the digestion for a bit, mixing it with fruit juice or milk increases the sugary content, and mixes different types of sugars (lactose/fructose etc) which may add to the ill feeling. Try it with water and drink it slower and see how you feel.
