And I thought some whey proteins tasted bad. This vegan one is made with rice and pea protein and I can believe it becauSE I SWEAR TO GOD I CAN TASTE THE PEAS 😐
Oh my god
That’s disgusting
Honest question: is there a reason you want to eat/drink whey protein?
I use the protein shakes as a post workout supplement to help with muscle soreness. Unfortunately the whey ones give me horrible stomach cramps amongst other symptoms, but it’s been about 3 hours since I had the vegan one and *fingers crossed * I feel fine.
I’ve read places that you don’t necessarily need protein shakes unless you’re going like super hard at the gym on a really regular basis. Now I have no clue what your gym regime is and you need to do what’s best for you, but if your vegan one tastes horrible and doesn’t do anything for you then you could probably get away with not drinking it.
Haha thanks for the concern, but I do hit the gym pretty hard. I haven’t been able to go for the last 3 or so months because of work shit, so you probably haven’t seen any gym posts (and you’re prob like wtf why is this newbie taking protein? )
Rest assured I (pretty much ) know what I’m doing haha!
(I’m just used to the whey one not tasting as horrible as this pea one, lmao. But still no stomach cramps so I think we’re on to a disgusting winner 👍👍👍👍)
I have the same problem with whey protein–I think it’s really wee baby facehugger eggs. I try to go for soy, or I’ll eat a little meat and peanuts (though I need to be careful, because I am RAVENOUS after the gym, and RAVENOUSNESS is what necessitates my gym-going in the first place).
I take pea protein 2/3 times a day. I’m lactose intolerant, so whey makes me feel like a balloon. Yes, it tastes ridiculously like peas, but, it’s 29 grams of protein per 100 grams of powder, so I don’t care.
So in lore, vampires have this trait that I’ve almost never seen used, and that’s the fact that vampires are OBSESSED with counting things. Like, the Count on Sesame Street was almost certainly created specifically as a vampire because of this piece of lore.
Like, I read this vampire book years and years ago that explained that a surefire way to protect yourself from vampires getting into your house was to spread a ton of seeds on your doorstep–poppy and mustard seeds were particularly recommended for the purpose. Basically, if you suspected someone to be a vampire, all you had to do was drop a sackful of seeds on the ground in front of them.
If they didn’t immediately start counting them, they were not a vampire. However, if they WERE a vampire, they’d be seized with the urge to count all the seeds and they would not budge from that spot until they knew how many seeds there were in total. The point was to keep them there until the sun came up and killed them, because if they hadn’t counted all the seeds by sunrise they wouldn’t be able to leave. Presumably you could just go about the rest of your evening as normal, though no word on whether it’s possible to make them lose count and start over.
Having remembered this piece of lore, I want fewer stories about brooding tortured Edward Cullen-esque vampires. I want to start seeing more stories about math nerd vampires.
Vampire accountants who are an honest company’s best asset and a corrupt company’s bane because they are frighteningly accurate with the accounts and will not hesitate to blow the whistle on a CEO scamming money because fuck you for making the numbers wrong.
Vampire cashiers that don’t need to look at the register screen because they already mentally calculated your total. 10-items-or-less vampires who know goddamn well you have 20 items in that basket and NO, you cannot just slip in with the rest.
Vampire math tutors who are constantly in high demand and have to hold lotteries to see who gets to be tutored by them.
MATH NERD VAMPIRES
If anyone would like the term for this, it’s arithmomania.
Originated, as far as I know, in Hungary. THE most hilarious episode of Xfiles featured such vampires.
