Water or Milk?

[rocky_349]

Is there a big difference between using water or milk in a protein shake? I preffer milk but alot of people say water. if there is not much of a difference what is the best type of milk to use? I usually use 2% or fat free

imo, fruit - bananas, strawberries, mangos, apple juice, orange juice. i only drink them as a treat though.

If you are bulking milk is perfect in your protein shake.
But if you are cutting I wouldn't reccomend milk as it contains a rather high amount of simple sugars (lactose) which is not a good carb for cutting.

milk is ok when bulking, however even when bulking I would advise to stay away from simple sugars. I however love milk... if your diet allows then go for it.
