    I use tap water, the hard stuff.

    I also throw in a little bit of ice. Pretty underwhelming but it works for me......

    Same here, I prefer mine with icy water.

    I just mix it with water and drink it. If I wanted it to be delicious, I would have drank something else...like chocolate milk

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Body Fortress sold at Walmart isn't bad at all.

    Normally I eat my breakfast first....be it oatmeal days or eggs and turkey bacon mornings...let that sit for about 10-15 minutes

    then I down my morning protein shake.....helps to top off that final bit and finally trigger your stomach full signals better than if you mixed it directly with your food.

    If you want to find something that you can blend with berries and make smoothies and things like that...go for a higher quality tasting Ready To Drink whey like Muscle Milk. Powdered stuff sucks period no matter what you mix it with...

    I usually use Vanilla Muscle Milk RTD blended with berries for smoothies or I pour that smoothie mix into my ice cream maker and make ice cream from it...

    Protein count wise, its really pointless to mix powdered stuff with milk. All you are doing is adding extra calories...you're already getting a max amount of processable protein if you do a normal 2 scoop that is about 56 grams on average..

    2% milk to squeeze in some extra protein and fat.

    2 Tbs creamy peanut butter
    1/4 cup dry oatmeal
    1/2 2% milk
    1/2 cup water

    Mix in blender and enjoy! One serving is about 325 calories so I use it as a breakfast shake usually.

    Frozen Fruit or freeze a cut up banana the night before, I dump cold leftover coffee in mine, or use Almond Milk or Coconut milk.

    Just click on my food diary. Helps to use two scoops and thicken and flavor with frozen fruit. My opinion.

    I mix mine with coffee, milk and cinnamon for breakfast. I have it with water and ice after a workout.

    The best thing I do with my whey protein powder is actually put in a banana and peanut butter, or just the whey protein and peanut butter with some chocolate almond milk and blend it all together. It's so delicious!

    I use Jay Robb chocolate and it makes a very thin drink. I add to 12 ounces of coffee with 2 ounces of skim milk. Just make sure the coffee isn't too hot. I also throw in some vanilla or almond extract. It's GOOD!

    I've also done a frozen smoothie with half water. half milk and a cup of frozen blueberries.. Divine really.. chocolate and blueberry is DELISH!

    Usually take ice cube trays and fill with 1% chocolate milk and freeze and then post workout I dump 1 tray (2 cups) in the Vitamix with 2 heaping scoops of ON double chocolate protein powder and 2 tablespoons of Jiff All Natural Peanut butter, add about a 1/2 cup of 1% choc milk to help it along and mix til blended. Best milkshake I have made yet.... Best of Luck...

    I find it totally depends on the protein. I have found a delicious one that I actually prefer just with water.
