Ive heard several different things about whey protein, but what is best to mix it with? Ive heard that if you mix it with carbs it works better, is this true? What does everyone have along with their whey?

there are a bizillion threads on this, using search may be more effective.

PWO, use whey and carbs for quick absorb.

For recipes, check recipes:)

I like to mix it with skim milk, dannon light and fit yogurt, and a couple of ice cubes. Makes a nice shake!

Having whey protein in just water post-workout is practically useless from everything I've read. You should have about 60% carbs in your post-workout meal, preferably a mix of both fast and slow digesting carbs I believe.

If you are not talking about post-workout, then you can have it however you like, but it should be with at least carbs or fat.

karate is correct. at a bare minimum, toss in a half-cup of ground oats. if you want to better assist your body in spiking insulin and helping shovel needed nutrients into your muscles, look at using dextrose
