Back to Basics Boot Camp
What do you mix your protein shake with?
I agree with your husband, actually. I don't think we can get enough water... Since my surgery I have been sensitive to milk and milk products, which I do not think is such a bad thing. Our bodies really are not designed to drink milk after childhood, much less milk from another species. Milk sugars are just that, sugars. I am glad my body has rebelled against milk. As I used to really enjoy it and it has forced me out side of my comfort zone, to try new things.
Yes, I have tried soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk. So far, I like the almond milk the best. But the soy milk does have a lot more protein. Always get the unsweetened variety, another hint.
But I do not do the protein drinks as a way of getting my protein, too. So whatever works for you, imo.

Most of the time I use water to mix with my protein powders in the blender but I also use a lot of ice to make them thick and then I add things like natural peanut butter or instant coffee, my fave is starbuck via iced coffee, it mixes really well with the shake and it gives you a great taste if you like coffee or i add syrups, sugar free of course for different flavors or extracts because just a drop or 2 will do. If you are going to use milk you can use lactaid milk, i always put a splash in if I am in the mood but if you make them thicker with ice and water then you don't need milk and you won't miss it.
