Why the anit-milk campaign all of a sudden??  Pretty popular in forum now to ask what to use instead of milk.  Other than water, there is no other place to go with your powders for cutting unless you are willing to mix it with tea or coffee or Yerba mate.

I just dont understand why some people think that protein and water tastes horrible.  I've been mixing mine straight with water for at least a year now.  Its just more practical.  I carry around my protein in a little tupperware container and after my workout i just go find a sink or water fountain and mix it up. Even if i am bulking up, it'd be annoying to have to bring a gallon of milk to the gym with me, only for it to get warm while i work out

Your choices are pretty limited. Skim milk,water,tea, or maybe one of the low cal Gatorades or Powerades.

What I do with chocolate muscle milk is mix one scoop with a cup of cottage cheese, a sliced up banana and sometimes I'll add 1/2 cup of oatmeal.

Sounds gross but it's the bomb! Tastes like chocolate pudding. Oatmeal for carbs, if you want them.. If not, omit.

but its right.  just suck it up and mix it with water.  Its not even bad anyway dayum.

If you dont have the will to take protein in water you dont have the will to succeed in this sport.  lol all there is to it.

I just dump a scoop of protein powder in my mouth and wash it down with water, it's a lot faster.

I like the taste of the ids protien powders and weight gainers, and imo its good protien, i mix it with water, some times milk, more water latly as im trying to not put on as much fat, but lose it a bit. But im still taking protien a little bit to help keep from losing muscle at the same time.

when i bought my protein powder i just got one that the person at gnc recommended. yes i am new to protein powers and went with vanilla. it is terrible in water.. it makes my stomach extremely upset.. kinda made me want to **** and vomit at the same time haha. but when i mix it with 2% milk, its still pretty bad, but manageable.

i have tasted friends protein powders that they got cheap at walmart, and it taste 100x better than mine. So i would have to say use whatever you have to to use all of the protein powder that you have now, and when you run out, get a different brand power.

water. You don't sip on it like some good scotch or anything. takes 5 seconds to drink.
