I have acquired a vast amount of protein powders from my older brother. I have been adding almond milk but has anyone tried just using water?

    Yup some are good with plain old water. I recommend experimenting with protein powders. I've made Frappuccino like concoctions, used flavored water or water enhancers to change up the flavors. Orange and Vanilla protein can be like a dreamsicle. There are really no limits to what you can do with it, don't be afraid to be creative.

    I think water works great with some protein powders. Its also a nice way to lower calorie intake. I would recommend less water than you would use milk, or just add more powder to adjust to your liking, and I like to use very cold almost icy water. Just try it.

    Do yourself a favor and consume natural sources of protein instead.

    Whey is a natural source of protein xD
