I'm getting kind of bored with the fruit combos and the Vanilla Myoplex is pretty flexible to different flavor add ins. I was trying to figure out how to make it taste kind of like the Bavarian cream filling in a donut. What makes Bavarian cream taste distinctive? It's got something I can't identify and I have no baking expertise to go on. Thanks, Frank Thu May 30 11:17:06 -0700 2002 0 Iron Frank 1 1567308 Hi Ferrous Frank- Bavarian Cream is egg custard stiffened with gelatin, mixed with whipped cream.

I guess it would be hard to transfer to a protein shake without bumping up on the cholesterol factor. Thanks again!

Depending on where you get your donuts, that extra something might just be some delightful chemical additive... Thu May 30 12:24:14 -0700 2002 1567295 0 GG Mora
