Protein Shakes?

Question

I typically mix my protein mix with milk....does anybody have any other suggestions or recommendations on what could be tastey to substitute for milk?

Answer 1

I use soy milk.
Sometimes I use water, then mix in a little yogurt.

Answer 2

Try BSN protein products from GNC.com. I'm doing cell mass strawberry and 200 grams of whey protein a day. The stuff taste great and you show pretty quick as well, just hit the steel daily.

You can use rice or soy milk as a mixer. It could also be the product just doesnt taste very good to begin with.

Answer 3

I often make mine with fruit and juice -- banana and orange juice, or any type of juice that you like. Protein and carbs for energy. Trainers at the gym tell me that the protein is absorbed more quickly if a carb is involved (it supposedly spikes the insulin), whereas dairy products can slow the absorption of the protein. So "they" say! But I also sometimes add a bit of non-fat yogurt (plain or fruit) to the mix when I am using fruit and juice.

Answer 4

milk is good, but throwing some fruit in the blender tends to make the drink more palatable. Bananas, fresh strawberries, etc... yogurts can also be a nice addition.

Answer 5

i don't think i've ever heard of using anything other than milk for protein shakes but i guess u can try water or something. but i don't think you'll find anything better then milk personally.

Answer 6

Normally, I add honey or fruit juice in my nutritional shake:

Milk may give you an upsetting effect on the tummy.
Drink lots of water.
Do not put hot water in your shake.
