i personally use skim milk...
i saw some guy at the gym used water too

what do you guys prefer?\

Water or even green tea. Milk probably makes it taste better, but I don't want the sugars in milk most of the time I'm doing a shake.

Nitrean tastes pretty good with just water, and even if it didn't I can drink some nasty stuff if it works toward my goals (bulk BCAAs :) )

Water.

Water. Milk sometimes, but I haven't been drinking milk for the past couple weeks...trying something new..

Milk tastes better, but I wouldn't use it PWO.

Actually, if I were to use skim milk, PWO would make the most sense to me. The sugars/carbs would be more likely to help restore muscle glycogen than be stored as fat.

Plus, milk has 80% casein. So, if you just normally use a whey product, you'd in effect be creating a blend of faster proteins (whey) and slower (casein).

Water and fat-free milkpowder

If your looking to bulk mix it with milk.

If you want to get rid of some subcutaneous skin fat, mix it with something other than milk.

Pre and post wo I mix 1 scoop (20gms protein) with 12 oz of cold water. Then I shake it 100 times in a shaker bottle.

Pre-cardio, meaning 2 and 1/2 hours before cardio, I mix 5 ice cubes, 1/2 cup fat-free milk, 1 scoop Nitrean chocolate, 1 tbsp natty peanut butter, and 1 cup cold water. Blend for 1 minute on frappe blender setting.

Water %95 of the time. On occasion i'll mix some vanilla with crystal light. Tastes very sweet, good way to get your sugar fix. :)

I've been using unsweetened almond milk with my Nitrean lately. Tastes excellent. I often add lots of other ingredients though.

I always used milk.

In your subject line, you ask what others use. What is used is most influenced by what tastes best, what you're trying to do (cut, bulk, maintain), what fits in your macros, and when you're using your protein powder (PWO vs. prebed vs. meal, etc.).

In your post, you ask what is preferred. I'd venture to say most people would prefer milk as it tends to taste a lot better than water with many of the different brands.

Water.

same.

I don't think i've ever used anything other than water.

Water as well - straight from the locker room fountain after the workout.:tu:

i have tried many different combinations before...
water, tea, milk, juice, you name it..

i find that milk gives the best taste...

tea and water make it taste like "nothing"....seems like im drinking another cup of water....

juice was ..... a failure trial.... given the fact that i mixed orange juice with the powder, and the powder being chocolate flavor lol

Water or Skim Milk. I do agree with MannishBoy - Protein Powder & Skim Milk is pretty darn good for PWO in my personal usage and opinion.

What flavor Crystal Lite? Just curious. :)

I did S/F Cherry Kool Aid with Orange Creatine Select and Grape Xtend before. Not that good. :)

That's gross. But, on the other hand, orange juice + vanilla Nitrean = :eat:

I've only ever used water.

Water,....Usually just enough to get the powder to desolve,..then chase it with the BCAA drink I was using during my workout, weather it has any flavoring in it or not,...I have gotten use to the BCAA tatste, by itself, belive it or not,..:D

Cold water makes a difference too. Gives it a bit of an edge,...

>>>--->

If I can spare the calories, I add a can of evaporated skim milk, it makes really creamy, and tastes great. But usually, I can't spare the calories, so I just have water and ice cubes, sometimes a cup of skim milk and a banana.

Not sure Chris, its redish. :)

1% milk. I tried water when I was out of milk once...it was nasty!

I quoted myself. :p

The flavour is Strawberry-Kiwi, Chris. :tucool:

Strawberry Kiwi Crystal Light is my favorite.

Getting harder to find for some reason...Ticks me off. Target had it on clearance last week, and Kroger already quit carrying it. :(

Water. I mix it with milk only as a treat after my workout.

Depends on the powder... some taste very good with water, keep searching.
my favourite taste is vanilla protein made by GFR, I buy it at Costco

i put it in my coffee every morning

I am a bit picky when it comes to protein as I dont eat artificial sweeteners and most powders contain them. Dairy does not seem to hinder my progress, so I will stick with milk:)

I take 8 oz of black coffee (cold), two tbs of Flax Meal and put it in the blender on the highest setting for two min. Then, I add a scoop or more of vanilla protein from Costco, blend for a while, add a package of Nestle Dark hot chocolate. Then, I start adding ice cubes until it is the consistency of a wendy's frosty. YUM!! Choco moca. Protein, good fats and low carbs too.
