Protein Drinks>Dry Mix or Liquid?

[toastythemosty]

Which is best, the dry mix or the liquid? Just seems like when you buy the already made liquid protein drinks they can be so expensive for just a 4 pack. Seems like the dry mix would last longer, but is it as good?
What kind do you use and what is the best?

Hi,

I usually use the Optimum Nutrition Whey protein powder. You can either mix it with milk or water(I mix it with milk). I usually get the chocolate flavor & it tastes pretty good. I have had all of the other flavors and they are pretty good too. I get it at www.bodyconcept.com. They carry it for a pretty good price. Each scoop is 23 grams of protein & if you mix it with milk then you get a few extra grams. My DH really likes this brand too. We have tried quite a few & this one taste the best in hour opinion.

Thanks Aila. I just got the whey protein mix and it is only 19 grams of protein, I forget what brand it is...bought it from Wal Mart, but I also bought some beef jerky and peanuts to help "pump" up those protein grams so I do get enough protein. BTW, anyone getting sick of eggs???

I figure, why haul the water home, when I can just add it here? I always use powder, and then add it to kefir, soy milk, juice, whatever I want.

Mmmm. I love blending the vanilla flavor with frozen berries, soy milk, ground flax seed and for breakfast, whole-rolled oats. I also add a couple of packets of splenda or sweet-n-lo. I have a bad sweet tooth. It comes out thick like a shake. After workouts, I use 2 scoops instead of one.
