Best thing to mix protein powder with?

[dee-es]

What do you guys usually mix with your protein powder? I am about to start taking ON's Whey 100% Chocolate and dont know what to mix it with. I read that 1 scoop after workouts is enough, is this true?


Thanks

go with 2 after workouts, your body needs it. when you take it before bed make sure to use milk, its slow digesting.

[dee-es]

So, i should take it twice? 1 after workout and 1 before bed? Is mixing it with milk the best tasting solution?


Thanks

I heard somewhere that it's real good with some diet coke post workout...i've yet to try this but then again I'm willing to try anything it seems.

Do water post workout for fastest digestion/distribution, and with some milk before bed so its more slowly digested.

[magicmatt]

i take one scoop when i wake up with milk, 2 after workout with water, and 1 before bed with milk.

Would you guys recommend the one im getting? Does it TASTE anything REMOTLEY to fat free chocolate milk?

Does it taste better with milk or water?

Protein powder almost always tastes better with milk.

Amount of powder depends on how much protein you're getting from other sources. If you don't get a lot of protein from whole foods, then eat more powder.

Some proteins, loke ON whey, tastes pretty good with water actually. Got a damn good deal on it....5.6 lbs or so for $30 on amazon.

Well take On whey protein with a milk in breakfast... and after workout i suggest to hav it mix with water along with 2 tbsp of dextrose.. it is readily digested by our body if we take it with water and that is wht we require immediately after workout..

i do not get much protein from whole foods since i do not eat meat or fish and hence have not been getting much encouraging results....should i have to make up for all that with powder???? can i mix powder to solid foods i have ??? i take ON whey protein with milk everyday and take it aroung 3 times a day..please correct me where i am wrong.

[magicmatt]

if you dont eat meat or fish then you need powder. you have to get it somewhere or you are wasting your time with lifting.

[lordofsinghs]

i also donot eat meat and fish ... In order to keep my daily protein requirements i depend upon following substitutes
- ON whey protein
- cottage cheese
- fat free yogurt
- skim milk
- soybeans
- green vegetables
- i do eat eggs ..

After a workout, should i drink the protein powder or the creatine first?

[GCSurfer]

I am currently taking ON Choc and so far have only had it with water. Answer to your question, no it is not bad at all. But at listed above, I may start taking it with milk before bed.

Drink both at the same time.

[dee-es]

Drink both at the same time.

As in mix the two powders in a glass of water and down it?

Get yourself a shaker. It works better than glass of water. Just put your protein and creatine in together shake and drink.

How many grams of protein do you take in per day. I'm also a vegetarian and I'm able to get some decent results.

What if i dont have a shaker, can i mix both of them in water and down it?

[bradroche]

Every protein tastes like crap in water in my opinion. I always have frozen fruit or something like that in with it. Post workout I have dextrose in with it which makes it sweeter.

Sure. It just won't mix quite as well.

[SPAM]

Or just use a blender.

-protein + milk during breakfast
-creatine + protein + water 45 min. before lifting
-creatine + grape juice after lifting
-protein + water after that
-protein + milk before going to sleep

does that sound great? or is there too many unnecessary steps there?

[M-J]

After my workout, i have around

45 grams of whey protein( 3 grams of protein)
300 ml of milk
1 liter of water
100 ml of sirup( that stuff is so sweet, my teeth WILL fall out sooner or later

even though milk is slow digesting, after your workout your body is in dire need of anything it will get. Only taking protein with water is also good but i have read somewhere that if you take it with milk, it's better because of the whey/casein mix. The sirup will do the carbs for me and thw water is fo digesting it like hell.

before bed i usually drink milk ( 1 liter) with whey for very slow digesting...........

you're splitting hairs, just down one after the other, doesn't matter...

[dee-es]

ON Gold standard is about 24g protein per scoop and comes out to about 300 ml give or take when it is correctly mixed. It has 120 cal per serving. Every flavor that I have had takes pretty damn good too, at least for protein that is.
