Hi everyone! So today I bought chocolate whey protein powder for the first time and I was wondering what you guys do with it, I mean the back of the container says to mix with water, but i think i may try mixing with skim milk, sounds more appealing to me. I've also heard of people putting it in oatmeal and other things. What do you guys do with it? I need some ideas!!!

also please feel free to add me! i love the support everyone gives each other on here!

    I make a fruit smoothy for breakfast every morning.
    1 cup unsweetened almond milk (40 calories)
    1 cup berries (strawberries, raspberries and blueberries)
    1 scoop whey protein powder
    1 Tbsp chia seeds
    1 TBSP flax seeds

    I am full until lunch time with this.

    I also make a pumpkin smoothy:
    same as above except substitute pumpkin for the berries.
    add 1 tsp pumpkin pie seasoning and
    1 tsp of cinnamon.

    You can add it to pancakes or Any baked good to add protein. You can put it in a blender and add berries and soya milk, skim or almond milk. Add to yougurt for yout calcium. I also like it in coconut water. Protein gives you satiate (fullness) the straight wheys are good to mix in juice or anything to give you the protein and keep you full.

    It tastes good in water, and in milk too. After i lift i usually make in in a blender with milk, ice cubes, 1 banana, whole rolled oats, sometimes spinach (can't even taste it) or peanut butter.... You can add greek yogurt, honey, flax, pretty much anything and it will taste good:)

    I have mized it in my oatmeal, it's not bad. And if you mix choclate into vanilla greek yogurt it tastes like dirt cake! Protein pancakes...uhmmmmm...... Thats all i can think of now, ha.

    I use tap water, the hard stuff.

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

    Just started mixing it with almond milk (which tastes much better than when I used water).
