    1 rounded scoop + 10 oz. 1% milk is a delicious post-workout treat

    Before and after workouts I use water. Skim milk for when I want to have a shake as a snack.

    I mix it in with my oatmeal and add fruit. Or I make a berry smoothie with peanut butter and add it in.

    I am using the Herbalife chocolate protein powder and I mix mine with almond milk (30 calories) and then I add peanut butter powder (22 calories). I add a little crushed ice and it is like having a chocolate/peanut butter milkshake.

    Making chocolate protein powder oats is amazingly good, served with fruit and some shredded coconut :love:

    Water, ice, and fruit in a blender.

    I have also mixed vanilla protein powder with coconut flour to make gluten-free protein cookies.

    Chocolate power (sometimes strawberry) with a coconut-almond milk blend, and a teaspoon of instant coffee all blended with ice. It tastes kind of like a coffee Almond Joy. Sometimes I'll add a tablespoon or two of peanut butter if I have the calories. At that point it's basically an amazing dessert drink.

    Milk, coconut or almond milk or water depending on how I'm doing in terms of caloris/macros for the day but my most favourite way is to eat it mixed with fromage frais or greek yoghurt, usually 1 scoop (25g) in 150g fromage frais/yoghurt

    I like to mix mine into smoothies with all kinds of things but recently I had a wisdom tooth surgically extracted and realized that you can mix it into all kinds of things which on my soft food diet.

    Try mixing 1 scoop protein powder, 1 TBS peanut butter and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce. It's almost like pudding.
    Speaking of pudding, I mixed 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder in 1 cup of butterscotch pudding and it was fantastic.

    Depending on how I feel and calorie allowance for the day - water, milk, frozen yoghurt whipped into an icecream like slush. Sometimes I add milled flaxseed and coconut (dessicated) and peanut butter and cocoa powder (up to 2 teaspoons). I have also made a protein powder omelette (lotsa eggs and cooked of course) and that was quite yummy.

    Usually with 2% milk. Milk is great and if it hits my calories too hard and I have to eat more vegetables for the day that's just a win/win.

    I also like it with oats, muesli, or any cereal really. I like to use hi-fibre cereals that only your grandfather eats because it tastes like cardboard... now you have a high protein, high fibre, reasonably low sugar, quick and easy "meal."

    I used to put it in 2 % milk but the I switched to almond/coconut milk 45 cal = 1 scoop. I use 1 cup of milk, and about 1/4 - 1/3 frozen fruit.

    There was quite a bit of talk on here about coffee and what we add to it. I add milk to mine but was struggling to get in all of my protein so this morning I ordered my coffee black and put some of my vanilla protein powder in it. Not bad - it was vanilla flavor and wasn't bad. Not as "smooth and creamy" as I'm used to but hey, I can drink some of my coffee like this just to come closer to my protein number.

    I mix mine with just a little skim milk. It gets kind of thick and pasty, which makes my stomach think it's getting real food! Sounds gross, but try it!

    Smoothie or bust.
    At least some almond milk and a banana.

    Also goes sort of well in oatmeal, but not pre-sweetened oatmeal.

    Next I'm gonna try mixing it into my greek yogurt.

    I've only used mine with vanill almond milk unsweetened. It's 30 calories per cup but my son who wrestles and is always under weight drinks his with skim milk.

    I use the Almond coconut milk. Low calories and much better flavor.
    I do use 1 scoop of Whey protein, with 6 oz/s of the milk and 4 of water. Only drink it every other day.

    I like mine with Almond milk. I also add a scoop to plain Greek yogurt or Oatmeal to supercharge my breakfast.
