Just wondering what everyone takes their protein shake with. Milk or water? I take mine with milk, does it matter?

I'm not really sure about this. Milk might add more cals/fat to the shake, but water won't. Just my opinion on it.

i think it tastes better with milk

Water for me.....milk is for babies.

I don't drink a protein shake. I do drink a fair amount of milk though. Between me and my two toddlers we go through a gallon in about 2 days.

I have a pretty good appetite, so I get over 300 grams of protein with no supplements

I can drink the hell out of some milk too. We go through two gallons a week between my wife and I, easy. We have a little boy abut to turn one who's going to be adding to our usage. I may want to have a tank installed, and have the milk dropped off in bulk instead of buying by the carton.

So if I do drink my share of milk, it'd be best to take the shake with water, huh?

Water for me. I would use milk, but water is so convenient, if I waited to get to milk I would never drink a shake.

i use OJ or apple juice. sometimes gatorade when i dont have the ladder.

well shouldnt people be drinking a glass of milk a day anyway?

Water for me. I used to use milk but once I made the switch, Ill never go back.

Skim milk and ice in a blender

oh, and soy milk sometimes

Well, I use it with water after my workout. The milk takes a while to digest, and if your whey is absorbed in the milk really good, it'll take longer to absorb, or so I'm told.

The vanilla isn't bad with water, but the chocolate sucks if you're not taking it with milk.

But, I take it with milk in the morning and at night so it's slow absorbing throughout the day.

Oh, and BTW, I, by myself, probably drink close to 1/2 or 1 gallon of milk a day. It's hard for me to get my protein because my parents really control my nutrition budget, but they're anxious to buy more milk, so it's my best source of protein.

Water here, and it tastes just fine. You see, I got myself started on water, and grew to love that. So in the rare occasion that I have it with milk, its so creamy and tasty, a nice little treat as opposed to those who HAVE to drink it with milk.

definately wahTer
