What do you have your Protein shake with?

[BlackHanzo]

Wondering whats the best way to have you shake, whether its with water, milk, juice etc, i drink mine with milk but i dont know if its the right kinda milk, is any milk ok with a shake?

 

[pbhardbody]

i use water or skim milk. sometimes ill do half milk and half water. this still tastes good and it cuts down on the sugar (12 g/cup) considerably.

water. if its before bed, ill have the casein with olive oil and fish oil.

 

[BlackHanzo]

half water half milk sounds not too bad, yeah water before bed sounds good, what about after your morning run? you have it with breakfast right?

i cup skim milk and ice in a blender also a banana and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.

when are you drinking the shake?

after my morning run, if im not running then as soon as i wake up then port workout and right before i go to bed, if i dont wake up sometimes i just like to drink one anyway

at those times it is best to use water or oj if you need some added carbs. dont use milk. keep the shakes fat free or at least a few grams or less.

it's not bad.... when my blender was working i used OJ, 1-3 fruits depending (i like mangos, strawberries, and rasberries the best), and 1-2 scoops of soy or vanilla whey protein powder. The added fruit with a bit of the protein taste was really good. sometimes added some peanut butter, but i found that to be better with this one;

milk, chocolate whey, and peanut butter- if you're bulking.... now i just pour a big glass of milk and mix some chocolate protein cuz my blender is broken, but damn i loved coming home to one of those shakes with OJ, fruit, and protein powder!

i only have a shake post workout, and when I do I have it with 1% milk

My breakfast shake is water/skim milk 2-4 eggs, 1/2 cup oat meal, and one scoop of powder. some times a dash of honey if the protein powder tastes like ass. Before bed water with Casein.

So I am right when I tell people to avoid fat like the devil right after a workout, right? I've had people saying they mix their whey with peanut butter, and that fat doesn't hurt after a workout, I'm like wtf? That goes against everything I have ever been taught.

 

[joe d]

yea no fat post w/o. you want whey and simple carbs. dextrose is good.

Water. I never did like the taste with milk
