Only mix it with milk if you desire a pro/carb meal. Otherwise stick to water.
Thanks for the quick reply. What about PWO?
I would stick with water. Dextrose and milk wouldnt be too nice!Quote:

If you don't use dex then Milk is great. If you do you'd just have to lessen one or the other, might taste weird though??Quote:

Sorry for the noob questions. Seems to be alot of different opinions on the topic.
Yes there are a few opinoins. Personally I don;t use Dex and don't see much need/evidence to do so. However others do believe in dex, it comes down to personal preference really. The point is carbs and protein are need post workout.
Thanks for all your help man
Giantz:
Do you not use dextrose because you don't believe in the need for both protein and sugar to raise insulin levels postworkout? Or do you simply use something other than dextrose to raise your insulin levels?

Well then I'm curious of course, what do you use as your carbohydrate postworkout?
if i am in a mass gainin phase i will mix my nightime protein drink with skimmed milk,but everyother protein drink goes with water,when not in a mass gainin phase water goes with the drink of an evenin!

I suppose there are a number of schools of thought about this. I am currently not using any sort of carbohydrate PWO (, I know!) and I'm going to be implementing the whole dex/maltodextrin combo (protien:dex:maltodex = 1:1:1). I generally get about 40g protein PWO right now.
