Sport Protein Powder

BuckyBadger · Dec 7, 2006

I'm just curious what other people mix their protein powder with.

I use whey powder and I've found that when I mix it with milk or water it clumps up no matter how well I mix it. I assume this is because the pH of milk and water is too close to the isoelectric point of the protein.

I've mixed it with slightly acidic drinks like apple juice and orange juice and found that dissolves rather well, but the taste is kinda differen't although decent. I don't think the acid is strong enough to denature the protein, but I'm just assuming.

The problem is when I drink it before a work out. I usually just mix about 1 scoop (30 grams) of powder with 4-5 oz of water and down it. Its the only method I've found that keeps my stomach settled during a workout. Maybe I just have a weak stomach, but I was wondering what people use during their workout? I can't even fathom drinking it during a workout.

Water + Whey during, a very small helping of Any Whey. PWO is milk + protein mix (casein&whey), or if bulking choc.milk + protein mix (c&w)

Just milk in a blender bottle from GNC works pretty well for me.

That sounds really good. I should try it. How is the 100% ON Whey Vanilla anyway? Taste any good?

I use water cos its less washing up.
I'm usually in a hurry and coming home after 12hours to a shaker that has some milk in it is gross.

I have this sweet "Hidden Valley Ranch" shaker with a little wheel in it to mix, and it works great...I used to use milk all the time, but water mixes better...and 60 grams tastes great...
