I'm not sure about how it is with vegan protein supplements since I'm not vegan and haven't really explored them, but I bought a tub of plain/flavourless whey powder (Isoflex) in the past and it was absolutely horrible. That funky taste was there, but much stronger even when mixed with fruits/berries. I think that is just the nature of protein powder, tbh. Could very well be different with the vegan options, though.
LOL ya. I've found over the years a lot of the whey products were less than great tasting. It's not as bad as that but it was there.

They seemed to mix a lot easier and not have that serious "whang" after taste. I think very highly of Chris Carmichael's cycling plans too. They are doable for whatever level you want to train to achieve. How cool would it be if members of the Planet that love to cycle all trained and did a century TOGETHER??? Here's the link,hope it helps!http://www.trueprotein.com/Product_D...id=22&pid=6816
I'd be game for a century. Where are you again?

I'm going to finish the vega for now and maybe try the plain version. The reason why is that it's the only raw vegan product out there that I know and it includes a whole whack of nutrients in it, like B12, that I can use. I'm trying to stick to less processed foods and more whole foods where possible.
