It's not a brain freeze. I use mile and ice with it but I take my time drinking it. I
just seem to get headaches from drinking it. Not all the time but a good amount.
Anybody ever have this problem??

The only time that has happened to me is when I've used the "designer" flavors of NITRO-TECH, namely Orange Creme and Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl.

Usually, when I stick to the basic flavors (Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry), I don't have that problem.

You should also consider trying one without the ice, and just cold milk. Also check out the label whether the protein contains some salt (natrium....). Also check out the label of milk.

The key-ingredient to get ice-cold shakes is salt. The temperature will drop well below zero (celcius).
