Does it taste THIS bad?

Alright, so I got the "Fast Guide to bulking up" and realize that I need to eat 6 meals a day. Ok, I can do that. I also got the idea that if I do not use the protein shakes and meal replacement things it will be extremely hard. I got whey protein powder called "Body Fortress Premium Whey Protein" in a pretty good sized tub. I also got some "Myoplex"

Now, I can do the Myoplex. It's hard, it's thick, but I can do it. Takes about 15 minutes to finish the whole thing. Doesn't taste good but doable. The whey protein, however, is impossible. I made the mistake of putting it into 8 oz of just water and it tasted horrid. I reread the instructions and it said you need to use your favourite BEVERAGE. Ok... a sign of hope. I try again with orange juice and it is just as bad, and then with milk and I still can't stand it.

What I do is just put it in a shaker bottle and shake it for 30-45 seconds like it says on the back. Am I doing something wrong? I searched on google and most of the people say that this stuff tastes GOOD!

What do I do? I can barely sit next to this thing open because of the smell. If I put my nose up to it I nearly puke. Just thinking of the smell makes my stomach turn.

I can't put it in the blender because I wont have access to it when I need it. I can't imagine anything would change if I did though...

Add cinnamon to the milk? I really don't know just suck it up. Some of us eat eggs raw and drink olive oil from the bottle. Yum!

No matter what I mix it with it always turns out the same. Same color and same smell/taste. I'll think about toughing it up, but if just putting it to my nose is making me throw up, it's gonna take some time

Any other suggestions? It's the chocolate flavor by the way. Maybe I should try vanilla?

what brand of whey is it? You can always send it to me Vanilla is usally the nasty flavor when it comes to protein powder.

Try getting more of your calories & protein in via food instead.

Protein powders I havnt always had the best luck with. They taste good with either milk or in a smoothie, but thats upto you. You can always try bars, the best tasting protein powder ive tried though, was muscle milk.

Tasted great in water & was low on sugar.

Buy some flavoring from trueprotein. or mix in some crystal light. or use something like nestle quik. The few times i've ordered like 10 lbs of a new flavor and i didn't like it, i'd just start doing half a scoop of chocolate whey with a half scoop of whatever the new flavor is and the chocolate covers it up.

I can't believe it really tastes THAT horrid, though. I wonder if it's rancid.

Every chocolate whey protein powder i've tried makes me want to be sick.
Try the forest fruits flavour from this site http://www.fastresearch.co.uk/pure-whey-900g-p-80.html

I mix it with milk and it tastes good.
