    Yogurt or I throw it in a smoothie. I also put it on my oatmeal too.

    I usually blend it with milk, frozen yogurt cubes, oatmeal, peanut butter, flaxseed and whatever fruit I feel like having at the time.

    I prefer milk or yogurt, but I use water if I'm sucking it down right before a workout or don't have room for more calories

    Water most of the time, unless I'm making a smoothie.

    Milk, or almond milk, depending on my carb goal for the day, and some ice coffee.

    Water. Occasionally, iced coffee. Even more occasionally, milk.

    I use 4 oz of 2% milk and 4 oz of water. I want dairy somewhere in my daily plan and that's where I put it. I've had my protein powder with water alone and it's perfectly tolerable.

    In the morning I'll do 8oz vanilla unsweetened almond milk with 8oz iced coffee, 2tsp maple syrup and sometimes 1T pb2 and just shake it. Post workout I have been doing the almond milk with half a banana in the blender

    I use it as a creamer for my coffee in the morning along with about 5 ounces of almond milk and a couple packets of Splenda.

    I don't use them much, but when I do, oatmeal or a smoothie.

    For some reason, I simply cannot handle my protein powder in water, milk, almond milk, etc. I can only take it in cold black coffee. I will make extra coffee in the morning and set one cup aside in the fridge for the following morning. I drink my cold coffee mixed with vanilla or chocolate protein powder before my workout. Caffeine helps "wake" my muscles faster and the protein gives me the energy.

    I just started drinking protein shakes. I use unsweetened almond milk and a little PB2 with vanilla protein. Yummy!
