    I like you use it like talcum powder, before workouts. Helps with the sweat!

    I love to make a breakfast shake with it. I use chocolate whey protein, a cup of frozen fruit and a half-glass of skim milk in a blender. It's like cheating! I usually drink it before I go to a boot camp/workout.

    I use Body Fortress Vanilla Whey Isolate powder in all these.

    Stick it in the blender with avocado, half and half and some pumpkin pie spice. its sweet enough with just the protein powder :heart:

    Mix it with Oatmeal ( when i ate oatmeal!) ...do if AFTER the Oatmeal has been cooked.

    Blend it with Applesauce and Cinnamon and some milk, almond milk or half and half and some butter...delicious apple pie protein shake!:drinker:

    It does NOT go well into tomato soup or scrambled eggs. Even though it says on the label it mixes well into everything. Or maybe I'm just doing it wrong.


    But it does go with PB, banana, ovaltine, orange metamucil and berries. I either make a chocolate one or an orange one but don't mix them all together.

    My favorite way to have it is to mix it with lo-cal chocolate milk, peanut butter and a banana.
    Its pretty filling and tastes soooo good, but a little high on the calorie side. That's why I only have it after a weight workout. To give my muscle what they need after a heavy weight workout.
    Otherwise, I mix it with skim milk or skim milk and fruit.
    I tried it in Oatmeal and greek yourgart but didn't like it.
    I've tried it in protein bars (made by someone else) and they were tasty.

    We use it to make pancakes: 1 cup oats, 1 scoop powder, some cinnamon, and enough water to get it to pancake batter consistency - blend it all up and then cook it just like pancakes.

    And since we buy pea protein (which doesn't go all that well in fruit smoothies anyway), I've been experimenting with adding it to soups and last night I even mixed it in with some pizza sauce to give my home made whole wheat pizza some extra protein.

    ^these (replace the coconut flakes with protein powder -or any dry ingredient, such as nuts or seeds- and either add the flaxseed or, if you're like me and never have that ingredient, replace it with more oats)

    I usually eat it with french cheese, or oatmeals. i never take it with water or milk. I also use it in lot of recipes.

    I also snort it sometimes
    maybe i should also try to inject it to my vain, perhaps it will work better, goes straight to your blood stream
    Already tried, but with whey isolate, it turned thick mixed with red globules. next time I'll try to ask for whey concentrate
    If you think whey isolate is bad, you should try the casein. Oy vey!
