To make protein shakes, use real strawberries, or would strawberry jam taste better?

The strawberry jam is sweeter off the bat, so maybe i wouldn't have to add sugar. But, i don't know how that would taste if you mix in protein and all that other junk. What do you think?

Try both and see which you like best. I think I'd prefer fresh strawberries, might be healthier too.

If you have to mix stuff in to dull/add to the taste of a protein shake, you might not as well drink it. Out of the two choices - fresh

I like fresh strawberries + some strawberry yogurt + honey.

If you are trying to cut carbs, go with the real strawberries...jam will have more "junk sugar"...otherwise i would try both and see what you like better

I have tried both and prefer the taste of the real berries over the jam anyday..... the jam seemed to have little flavor when in the shake but made it very sweet.

What do you think?

IMHO, i think you should suck it up & drink it straight.

i fail to see how people can't drink protein shakes straight...buy optimum nutrition or designer whey

fresh fruit and Equal or Splenda

Who says i can't drink it straight. It's the difference between drinking wine and grape juice--why settle for something mediocre when you could toss in a few ingredients to make it better?
