Do You Use Milk In Your Protien Shakes?

rocketpants

If so what kind (non fat dairy, almond, soy...) and why?

I have been making mine at home with a blender and using plain Greek yogurt. I am going to start making some at work with a shaker, and I think I will add milk to improve taste / consistency.


I am predicting a 30/70 ratio of serious to innuendo replies :glasses:

Elleinnz

Nope - Just water...... I keep my milk for my coffees ;-)

Sometimes I use unsweetened almond milk but usually just water.. I'm boring, I know, haha.

My post work out shake includes: light yogurt, fat free milk, frozen berries and a scoop of whey

dannylives

I always use fat free milk. Sometimes I don't use milk and just use water. It depends.

Unsweetened Almond Milk -- sometimes Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

Reason: no sugar, no soy, no hormones

michaelachallis

just water

I used to only mix my protein shakes with water ... but when I get back on P90X I will be mixing them with milk, because I can afford the calories and I hear milk is good for teh muscles.

What is a good protein shake mix, to use for meal replacement shakes? Or is that the proper shake mix to use?

I use skim milk in mine. My morning shake is natural PB, ice, chocolate protein powder, and a banana. If I didn't add the milk, the consistency would be sludge-like. I'm not sure my blender would even blend it.

I use whatever I have, usually water or nonfat milk.

neanderthin

Yup, when I use to consume protein powder.

Pro Complete 40 is a good one...vanilla is great!

greensnow

I use soy because normal milk makes my tummy hurt lol

midonhau

I've made mine with soy, rice, almond, coconut and hemp milk. Soy and Almond milk were by far the tastiest ;o)))

I never use "Milks." I always use no sugar/low sugar drinks with or with frozen fruit>>>Sugar Free Kool-Aid; SF Hawaiian Punch; Reduced Sugar Juices. I also only use Vanilla Whey Protein Isolate; I could do more with Vanilla and I like it best.

I used to use milk, but then I tried Silk and last night I tried Silk Pumpkin Spice. It was yummy.

Usually 1% milk , sometimes almond milk. Also add a banana and a cup of blueberries for vitamin and fiber goodness.

Teliooo

I do, I only drink goat milk. I barely get my calcium intake as it is so the milk helps. I tend to use semi skimmed and about 150-200 ml. I always add a banana, and something like strawberries as well as it it is horrible without it. I drink soya protein.

unsweetened almond milk...35 calories and taste great.

Myzstarr

yes. i use the silk almond or the silk vanilla sometimes coconut with a lil almond butter and its really good. i never use regular milk

HeidiMightyRawr

Most of the time I just use water, the one I use tastes nice with just that.
Occasionally I have milk, usually when I need the extra calories - I use semi skimmed.

NoAdditives

I use whole milk (it's what my kids drink) or soy milk in mine for the calories and for improved taste. Protein shakes taste like crap if they're made with water.
