It is difficult to explain a taste in words. Try it to see if you like it! Try a few different brands and flavors if you don't like it on the first try.

Frozen fruit, ice, yogurt, or peanut butter are some readers' favorites. Coco powder or green vegetables are other strong flavors that may mix well.

Start with a favorite liquid, add the protein powder, and consider yummy flavors to mask the taste. Yogurt or ice work as good thickeners.
