Mix Water or Milk

[yoop33]

Do you mix water and milk with your powder shakes and why?

Depends on your goals for calorie requirements, however I always do my post-workout protein shake with water for faster absorbtion. Milk has cassein protein in it, which absorbs much more slowly. For the rest of the day, I use milk for added calories, and for better taste.

Right on.

Milk tends to create alot of foam in the blender. I add it at the end if needed and just pulse it a little. Churning straight milk and powders equals pure foam which equals bloat and gas for me.

I love the ON Chocolate Mint with milk. Protein powder with water tends to be runny but since I'm cutting I just deal with it.

Water post workout shake and when cutting. Milk when bulking.
