how do you have your protein shakes

[pop-eye]

i was just wondering how everyone has there protein shakes,

i can have too much milk as i get sick from it but i normally put 1/3 of milk, then my protein and then top it up with water. it doesn't taste too bad but yeah gets a bit boring haha,

lets hear some of the other idea's aye?

[becbec]

I just have mine with water

[Hone]

Water with 2 tbsps of oil

[Steve Urban]

I just have mine with water

Yeah im exactly the same, always in water for me

Faster absorption too.

Although with milk it tastes soooooooo good :pfft:

[VampireChick]

I've basically just been mixing my protein powder with whatever meal I can (oats and egg whites). The actual shakes make me a tad bloaty - even with just water.

[emmzies]

I mix mine with 1/4 milk, handful of ice and the rest water, then at least one or more of the following:

- vanilla bean extract

- banana (pref frozen)

- frozen blueberries

- spirilina

- baby spinach

- pure cocoa

- canned peaches

- instant coffee

...or anything else i can find that can be blended

[weener lad]

Have it just with water unless I want to slow down the absorption, then I'll have it with milk or something else to slow it down.

Can't beat ON 100% Cookies and Cream woohoo \:D/

i measure out 2 grams of protein powder on my glass chopping board, then I pull out my bank card and chop it up into a few lines, then roll up a $50 note and snort myself silly... :wink:

I get a weird look from the checkout girls at the supermarket when I hand over a $50 note covered in a fine sprinkling of Chocolate protein powder on one side of it.... :wink: And sometimes eftpos wont read my bank card because of the protein stuck to it.. :shifty:

I've been weaning myself off the milk (yep, like a baby!) and onto the water. I was having full on 200g milk a few weeks ago, now I'm down to about 25g milk and 175g water. I'll probably be on straight water by the end of the week.

[teamfatboy]

Just water... but I had been adding a couple of teaspoons of cinnamon, and, for those days when I need a slap upside the head to get started, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne.

[greyghost]

Just plain old water.

During the off season will have it with orange juice straight after workout.

What's the reasoning behind using water? Casein in milk is a slow digesting protein but thats added protein on top of your Whey. The Whey would be absorbed at the same rate with milk as it would with water and the Casein would break down at a slower rate. If someone has a link scientifically proving that Whey is absorbed faster if consumed with water as opposed to milk I would be very interested in reading it.

Milk put a lining around your stomach that slows the digestion process > membrane like. e.g If you have a mild stomach ulser and it giving you grief a glass of milk has been known to settle the pain as it puts a thin barrier between the stomach lining and stomach fluids. My uncle drinks his whiskey with milk for this reason.

its about its consistancy not its nutrient value.

I think an important part of bodybuilding is knowing what works best for your body, and the only way this is achieved is by trying out different things like training methods, food intake etc over time. We are all different and respond in different ways.

At the moment I have raised my fat intake and dropped my carbs a little. I have found this to be effective for me to drop body fat but still put on muscle. I am also on a cycle of gear of just under 2 grams a week so that also comes into play regarding my intake of food.

[BAT_ATTACK]

For breakfast i have a scoop of protein powder, 4 weetbix, 200mls of milk, 300mls of water, 1 egg and sometimes a banana.

After workout its just with water.
