    There are certain brands I have tried that I also had to drink it with milk.. But I have finally found one that I LOVE with water. I can have an entire second scoop added to the water to meet my protein goal instead of the calories and carbs in milk. Win win :D

    I use a "flavorless" one with chocolate milk. It's tasty. I put flavorless in quotes b/c it has a slight dairy taste to it, which is fine with milk and mostly fine with a green smoothie, as long as I get my measurements right.

    Almond milk here, if I'm drinking it.

    My go-to, though, is to mix it into greek yogurt with berries. That's my breakfast pretty much every morning. I change up the powder flavor and berries depending on what sounds good. Currently, Lemon Meringue Pie protein powder and raspberries is my favorite.

    ETA: Oh, and my vanilla powder if I use about 15 grams to 170 grams of plain greek yogurt tastes just like cheesecake!!! YUM!

    The Greek yogurt thing is a pro move. Some low fat Greek yogurt also has as much protein density as the powder itself, so it's like 1.5 times the protein.

    Now if only I could buy greek yogurt when it's not on sale. It's waaay too expensive otherwise.

    I mix my plain whey with black espresso. But cold espresso, if it's too hot it clumps.

    My normal dinner is whey protein with Fairlife chocolate milk (more protein) blended with Greek yogurt. 360 cal 57g protein, 21g carb.
    Of course I could always vary up the flavor with plain milk and diff flavor Greek yogurt, but it's chocolate so...

    I use the Fairlife chocolate milk as well. They also have a protein drink. I purchased 1, but I haven't had the chance to try it yet.

    Someday I am going to branch out amd try some fancy protein flavours. I am really boring and only buy the vanilla ones.

    Nope. Complete opposite here.

    Perhaps it's the brand of protein I use (VPA) but it just doesn't mix properly in milk and ends up way to gluggy and thick even if I use a Wizz-stick or blender.

    Mix with water however and it's amazing! Creamy without being too thick and mixes with zero clumps with just a shaker.

    I guess it's a case of different strokes
