Default No-Xplode and Cellmass mixing question

I am new here and hoping I am posting this in the right place. I have been taking both of these for a couple weeks now and they are really helping. My problem is the taste of these powders. When I first started taking them I did not mind but now they are almost enough to make me puke some times. I have been mixing them with the amounts of water the instructions say to. Would it be ok to mix the cellmass with grape juice instead of water? What do you guys mix them with? Any ideas of things to mix them with that would not taste bad would be great. I take the punch flavored No-Xplode and grape flavored Cellmass.

Hoffer, when I started working out I used the exact same stack w/ same flavors. The fruit punch took awhile to grow on me but I actually liked the grape. For the no-xplode though, I would usually just put enough water in the cup to drown the powder and then take it like a shot. After that, I'd drink plain water behind it.

I loved the stack while I used it and it really helped me get into things, but in my opinion, you'll probably want to change after one or two cycles of it.

Good luck!

I have been taking Cellmass for last 4 months. I'm also "cycling" NO-Explode where I take it for a week, stop it for a week, take it for a week etc ... NO-Explode works like magic for me. I know that some people do hate it and think its waste of money but hey ... whatever works. Some say that you can easily substitute that powder with some caffeine pills.

As for as taste, NO-Ex Blue Raspberry and Cellmass Arctic Berry flavors are delicious man ! To be honest, I can drink that liquid just for the hell of it. I like it that much NO-Ex Lemon Lime was good as well. Fruit Punch was OK. Orange was not so good.

2 scoops of NO-Ex will keep me going for at least 2 hours. I'm walking around like a hungry beast ready to move everything around. I mix 2 scoops with 10oz of COLD water and chug it really quick about 30 minutes before workout !

I mix 1 scoop of Cellmass with 6oz of COLD water and drink that with amino pills immediately after workout.

I'm with JJ. I loved the stuff while I was on it. If I didn't bloat from water retention so much I'd probably still be on it.

After being on it for two weeks I have had some massive headaches. Is that from the caffeine? So for now until I figure it out I am just taking Optimum whey.

Did you eliminate both Cell and NO ? I would try one and drop the other and then switch so at least you know which one is causing the problem. You probably still want some type of creatine

Try getting rid of one and then the other to nail down what was giving you headaches. It could easily be something you ate too.

Also, creatine isn't for everyone, some people don't respond as much as others. Personally I dont take it but that's just me.
