Protein capsules?

    I like to take some protein most days but I must admit, I absolutely hate the stuff. The bars are rank so I usually get the shake (the big tub from Holland and Barrett) but sometimes I nearly get sick drinking that.

    Is there anywhere that sells it in capsule form so I don't have to taste it?

    Would it be possible to put the powder into capsules yourself or would the dry powder be upsetting on the stomach?

    Surely there has to be a way around this!

    Try one of the flavoured whey proteins from myprotein, they are quite nice

    eat meat instead-whey powder is the easy option instead of having to make so much of an effort eating

    Buy better tasting whey?

    Kinetica, Optimum Nutrition and Reflex are all decent brands

    You can get protein bars that taste very nice.

    Expensive though.

    You can also get protein tablets. Ive bought them off ebay a couple times.

    Get the Latte flavour from myprotein. The best whey I have ever tasted.

    That site seems to have a good few flavours and sells small sample sizes - thanks for that, I think I'll try a few.

    H&B products are generally crap and overpriced. Agree that their protein powered is terrible. Full of junk and it tastes awful. I'd also recommend my protein or if you can afford it Living Fuel or My Capra have much less preservatives and artificial flavours

    You would have to be eating loads of tablets.

    I like whey, but even if I didn't I reckon I would prefer to chug down a shake washed down with a glass of water immediately afterwards, rather than have to chug down 50 capsules.

    Pick something you like the taste of, strawberry, chocolate, peanut butter etc.
    Buy a whey powder in this flavor online from myprotein or since you are very particular about the taste, get the optimum nutrition or BSN Syntha 6 (best one i've tasted but expensive)

    I don't really understand to be honest as it takes about 4 seconds to drink a protein shake with 200ml of water...

    you cannot go wrong with Kinetica

    Irish company
    made in Cork
    good flavours and the protein content per 30g is high
