    i think most mix better in water than milk

    most all taste better in milk though...especially chocolates.

    Yep, agree...with both the above...I live in the UK and use the matrix protein lines, they are very good (taste wise and mix wise and good value) I get the 5kg tubs...

    ON Casein is the only one I really like in water. Muscle milk is also pretty good, but that's more of a meal replacement than a powder.

    The chocolate is very good.
    I was rather leaning toward ON's whey because its supposed to be more beneficial for women looking to build muscle but Im might just have to try casein!

    Protein is important for muscle growth/maintenance but it can come from any source - you only need to use protein powder if you are not getting enough from food. Also, there is no difference in gender in relation to muscle growth (well, apart from the fact that it is harder for us).

    Lies!

    I have to read up a bit more to be entirely confident about this but I know that it is almost impossible for me to reach my protein goals while staying under my calorie limit, so I try to supplement with low-calorie protein shakes.

    The kind I use (Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey) says to mix with water, but I think it's disgusting that way. I can't drink it.

    I use unsweetened original almond milk. It's only 30 calories a cup, and I don't drink a whole cup with my shake. Very few calories to sacrifice for a much better tasting product.
    I've tried the unsweetened alone and no one in the house liked it. Maybe I'll have to buy a carton solely for making shakes! Thanks!

    I have Optimum Nutrition also. Chocolate, Cake Batter, Strawberry Banana and the Chocolate Casin are all good and mix well in water.

    I order from www.bodybuilding.com. GREAT SITE!
    I'm rather partial to cookies n' cream MMM!

    It really shouldn't be that hard, perhaps proteins too high or calories are too low?

    I use PB2 since i dont like the taste of protein powders. You just have to get the mixture the way you like it. Better with a blender and a banana though!

    If you are exercising, try to go for 1g of protein per lb of LBM. I supplement sometimes also. I like the Trutein for Chocolate flavor.

    Take a look at ViSalus. It's only 90 calories and 12g of protein, and mixes with water. Message me if you want to know more about it.

    Around here, we use the 40 calorie Almond milk. It has +50% more calcium than regular milk and about -50% calories. For women, who are automatically at risk for osteoporosis just from being women, the extra calcium is a bonus.

    I drink Body Fortress Optimum Whey Protein Powder. The chocolate is fantastic with water, the vanilla is okay, better with a milk choice though. The chocolate peanut butter is good also. Good luck :)

    Most protein powders have about 24g of protein for about 120 calories. Much better protein g for the cals.

    I freeze unsweetened almond milk into ice cubes and blend my protein with that and a little water. Works great for a nice consistency. More water for thinner, less for thicker.

    I use MuscleTech Elite Plus protein - 140 calories/30g protein per scoop.

    I'd like to know how a product like that survives in such a competitive market.

    Interesting to know, sara! Thanks for that info!

    Well, 180cal for 24g isn't too out of line then, if they average about 120.

    I usually look for 20g per 100kcal, which is inline with Sarauk's 0.2g per kcal.

    Yours is 1.3g per kcal, which I couldn't do worse than if I bought the cheapest product I could find in my local supermarkets.

    Syntha 6 chocolate & vanilla both taste good in water, and Labrada's Pro 8 vanilla tastes great in water, milk, coconut milk, what ever!
