what do you mix your protein powder with

kelalake Posts: 4 Joined: 2003/10/24	2003/10/27, 01:35 PM Im using formula 80 and high 5 proteins for shakes and so far have mixed them with either fruit20 or skim milk. has anyone used soy milk to mix their powders with? anyone know the proper ingredients to mix shakes with? skim is high in carbs. half and half is lowest in carbs but can i use that to mix my shakes with? any help is appreciated!

If you are drinking it during the day and not as your post workout, you can put just about anything in it. I have put berries, peaches, banana, oj. As long as it is within your daily nutritional goals it is up to you. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

It makes it very filling and taste like an Orange Julius. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do.

It will be utilized for energy rather than muscle building. ============ Quoting from drew138: I just use water. I use ON's (Optinum Nutrition) 100% Whey. Mixes great with water.

Is it something you can get from real food? Or is it a suuplement? Another thing we need to go out and get...lol? I've heard of simple syrup, made from white sugar and sater, but what is a simple sugar? -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
