Hello
I was wondering what you use in your protein drinks. I use 2% and the Sweet Nectar. I like it but need
to lose more weight and think 2% milk is not right to drink with it or is it? Please let me know what you use.

Thank you

I refuse to add the milk calories so I only mix mine with water and my husbands with fat free milk.

Skim milk or water are the only fluids I used to make shakes. Some protein flavored shakes have more calories than others too. Dave

I use unsweetened almond milk 40 calories per cup and virtually no carbs.

and it tastes fantastic!!

the clean eating group is not about weight loss and you don't have to be a vegetarian (although if you are, that's OK)
if you think organic and less processed food is better, consider joining
I don't always eat clean but I want to learn.

I haven't done protein shakes in a long time, but I always used water, skim milk or light soy milk.

Skim milk, water, soy milk, almond milk.

You could probably use rice milk or coconut milk. I like coconu****er but detest the commercial coconut milk products I've tried recently. Never tried rice milk, don't know now it tastes.

Too many calories in 2% milk, most of which are fat calories, as far as I am concerned. Also, I've been drinking skim milk for so many years, I don't care for the taste, too heavy.

I only use almond milk - unsweetened original or vanilla - my favorites. I didn't like soy - and never a fan of skim milk. Tried making the protein with water and gagged :(

Hello -Katie,

I use skim milk or in my protein drinks. If you don't like skim milk try 1% milk. Don't get me wrong, but 2% milk to me is like drinking whole milk. 1% milk is almost like drinking skim milk. I think skim milk & 1% milk is better tasting & lighter & healther than 2% milk and whole milk.

I use 2% milk to get a little extra fat in my diet. I don't eat enough otherwise.

I have to start with 1%, but I hope I can tolerate 2% so I can drink what everyone else does.
