Let me tell you something.. using milk for your shake isnt the best thinga t all..
Whey protein is the milk protein without the lactose and the other junk... The protein is pure and easier to synthasize.
Adding milk to your shake is just not helping your proteins effectiveness. You souldn't add milk to a shake.. use water.
Ive used Syntha-6 for years and ive always used water and the taste is just incredible. love it.1500+ club - sub 200

I wish some people would be a bit less selfish and would read a bit more on supplementation..
Milk is made up of whey and casein as the sources of it's protein composition. Therefore, whey protein is a component of milk. One of the advantages of whey protein is its ability to go through the digestion system very fast and get your muscles fed with protein within half an hour. Casein, the other protein found in milk, digests alot slower. So it could take up to over an hour to get protein to your muscles if you are consuming casein protein (or milk). Hence when you consume whey protein with milk, it is not bad, but it is defeating the purpose of why you would want to take the whey protein: the ability to digest fast.
I do know alot of people who mix whey with milk, b/c they purchase the whey dirt cheap (i.e. 10 lbs. bag of ON whey) and it helps them get the necessary protein for the day. But whey protein should not be mixed with milk right after a workout, the time when your muscles are craving protein and carbs to replenish glycogen stores and initiate protein synthesis.1500+ club - sub 200

I only use water or juice, never milk.. I don't eat any dairy products, I'm no lactose intolerant or anything, its just that I've found eliminating these foods from my diet helps to keep me much leaner. I believe I've seen studies somewhere saying something about lactose being related to abdominal fat, don't quote me on that though.

I use water all the time - i find it mixes easier...and for me it actually taste better (more water down cause i used alot of water) - i cant stand the taste of ANY protein shakes anyway so the more watered down it is the better (they just make all of them too damn sweet!) anyway i bought the unflavored protein before which is great! (no weird chemicals that pretend like their not sugar but actually are) It puzzles me however that the unflavored ones are more expensive...? youd think it was less since it uses less ingredients

Your suppose to use water though (skim milk if u really want to). Some people do not drink milk because of the sugar (lactose) and the fat in it. The protein powder is somewhat like a milk substitute. If u take it with water, the protein will get transferred to your muscles faster after a workout. If you do not care about calories and macro-nutrients then just drink it with milk. I hope I helped a bit. XD
