I am not sure what to buy?
What should I be looking for?
How do I mix it and what do I mix it in?

    What to look for is going to depend on your reasons for using it. Me personally, I use it to help meet my protein macro and that's it. I took a look through old threads on the topic (search feature above) and asked others about their favorite brands, and in the end I went with Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard 100% whey. It mixes best that I've tried (only have tried 5 brands), tastes decent, and protein content is pretty good @ 24g per serving. I think I'll try BSN's Syntha6 next though.

    As far as what to mix it in, you can do water, milk, even juice, or coffee. I like chocolate protein powder in cold coffee for an iced mocha effect. I like vanilla protein powder mixed with chai tea or with orange juice for a kind of Orange Julius flavor. I like either flavor mixed with a few ounces of milk with a Tbsp of chocolate Ovaltine to boost the chocolate flavor. People mix it into yogurt, use it to make pancakes, make milkshakes, put it in cake mixes...there are really endless possibilities.
