I just wanted to thank those that suggested to mix protein powder w/ Crystal Light. Previously, I had been unable to stomach protein powder + water - I was forced to mix it w/ skim milk, which, again thanks to this board, isn't the best option due to the high amount of sugar in milk. Just tried some lemon/lime Kroger brand crystal light + some Protein Factory ion exchange whey and it tastes delicious. My only concern is the aspartame - I have heard that that stuff is horrible for you. Anyone know of any drink mixes w/ sacharine or splenda? Thanks again.
