    Usually 1 scoop. Sometimes water, sometimes 2% milk. Sometimes I add in some yogurt, or maybe a tablespoon of peanut butter, or some fruit. Just depends on my mood.

    In answer to the question : If i want it taken in to the system fast, i mix it with water... else its 1% fat milk... and i throw in some berries and what not to make it taste good ( if its not chocolate) ( 1 Scoop or 2 depends on the requirement and the concentration of protein in a single serving)

    As for the complaints about getting it naturally... well i agree most of it should come naturally.. but there is also a reason one would consume Whey Protein shakes instead of say eating some chicken breast or eggs.... If its availability after a workout then foods take too long to provide... so shakes are best.. and they also play a vital role in keeping the calories down (carb calories) while fulfilling the protein requirement ( only via isolates)... And the final use i use it for is topping up protein requirement after completing the days meals....

    Every day for breakfast I have:

    2 C chocolate almond milk
    2 scoops whey isolate protein powder
    1/2 C raw quick-cooking rolled oats
    All One vitamin powder

    Whirled in the blender. When I make my boyfriend's shake, I use cow's milk & half a banana.

    Play around with it & see what you like best!

    1 scoop pure protein plus very vanilla, soymilk or water, frozen berries, wheat germ, flax seed, PB2, not all ingredients at once, I mix it up when I can. Gives me the jump I need before my daily walk or exercise workout! :happy: :smile:

    Food is fine, but who wants to deal with that full feeling prior to any kind of workout.....not me! :grumble:

    Agree to disagree. The branched chain amino acid (leucine isoleucine, valine) carriers (among other amino acids) for skeletal muscle compete with once another... meaning when it all hits at once your body is not capable of uptaking it all.. and it goes to waste. Intake from natural sources hit the carriers in a stages (staggered) as it's digested so the availability of the amino acids to the protein carriers optimizes uptake and minimizes waste. [You can go a step further and get into the optimum glucose:protein ratio post-workout too but there are conflicting stats on that one- most put it between 2:1 and 4:1, though that's a BIG difference]. I rarely use protein powder as I know a lot of the protein is WASTED. My answer? Eggs... usually 2 yolks and 5 or 6 whites. Eggs are the protein gold standard... it helps that they're fairly inexpensive...

    Use between 1-2 scoops - whatever is needed if I know I am falling below my protein goal (i like to get 120 grams a day).
    I mix with berries. YUM. Or Vanilla Powder and Oranges.

    I love "real" food too... I have a least on serving of chicken and beef in addition to the powder.

    -2 scoops Body Fortress Chocolate Peanut Butter powder
    -fill the bottle up with crushed ice
    -pour water in to the top
    -shake & drink

    How about eat real food instead?

    I eat real food too. Lots of it :)


    Some people need supplements, how about being helpful?!?! I am 5'5, 167lbs and 28 years old and some days I burn 3,700 and I have NO IDEA how to get THAT MUCH protein in my day without shakes. I don't want to eat that much chicken and I don't want to feel that stuffed all of the time. Protein shakes are helpful and not harmful!

    To the OP: 1 scoop cinnamon roll myofusion protein whey , 1/4c pumpkin puree, 1tbsp sugar free syrup, 40g banana or 1/4 c blueberries, 1tsp nutmeg, 2 c. unsweetened almond milk :)
