Webber Protein Drink...

[Gray Fox]

Ok I recently went to Costco and bought some webber protein powder. It came with two 1kg containers in the package. Now the instructions on the side say to mix two scoops with 250ml of water, so I did this the other day with the chocolate flavour and it tasted like death! It was the worst think I have ever tasted, it was like low quality chocolate milk but it goes down with the smoothness of water. I felt sick for almost 1 hour after drinking it.

So today I decided to try something different, I took the two scoops and mixed it with 250ml of normal 2% milk and took a sip. It was great, it tasted and went down just like chocolate milk! So I am going to do this from now on. But I am wondering why on earth would it say to mix it with water when milk is so much better?

Is there something I am missing here? Will mixing it with milk slow down absorption or something like that? I don't really think there is anything wrong with this but I wanted to post it here just to make sure.

What kind of protein is it? Milk, soy, whey? If it's soy or something like that your probably better off shelling a few bucks for some quality whey instead of drinking some cheapass milk powder with filler. Look into it, just my opinion

Gez, I typed out all of that and I forgot to include one of the most important peice of information. It's Whey protein; "90% Whey Protein Isolate" if memory serves me right.

Basically i'm just wondering if it would make any difference if I mixed it with water or milk. Because with the milk it tastes so much better.

If your not cutting up worrying about calories or anything like that go ahead and mix it up with milk. Do you like fruit? Blend some berries or a banana too, endless possibilities...

Chocolate and Bananas? I can't picture those two togather, I think that would go better with the Vanilla drink. But I will try some fruit with it as well, thanks for your help.
