    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.

    Usually soy milk. I just have to sub out one of my snacks when I do.

    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.

    Milk or oatmeal - and a banana, with either peanut butter or berries.

    Milk and ice to make a milkshake; oatmeal with egg whites; cottage cheese and greek yogurt for dessert.

    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!

    In water?! No. Never. As a drink:
    1 scoop chocolate protein
    1 cup almond milk
    1 banana
    1 tbsp cocoa powder

    OR

    1 scoop chocolate protein
    1/4 cup almond milk
    Dump in a big cup of coffee

    I only buy unflavored whey isolate. I can put it in whatever I'm eating as long as there is enough liquid to blend it in--lentil soup, a can of pinto beans, instant mashed potatoes, fair life fat free milk & hershey's syrup, etc.

    I only use chocolate/peanut butter protein powder, so I'm limited to sweets. But it makes even the plainest of desserts taste yummy.

    I gave up on the flavors a long time ago. I couldn't find any that I liked. Even ones I thought were good at first, after a couple times drinking them the taste made me want to throw up. It was costing a fortune.

    I can relate to the cost. I pay $60 for a 1lb tub of optimum nutrition. We pay more for everything in Aus. I'm almost addicted to the stuff :worried:
