Inspire Protein Powder--mix with milk?

[writegirl 0]

I just bought some Inspire and the instructions say to mix with Water. Has anyone mixed it with milk? Any suggestions for how to use it--I have the cinnamon cappuchino flavor. Thanks.

I've tried all of the flavors and the only one I didn't like was the Pom Razz Sangria (ewww!). I've always mixed mine with Water - they're so thick and yummy anyway, they don't need the added calories of milk! If you're taking a good Vitamin, the added Calcium you get from the 4oz. of milk you'd add is a non-issue as well. Go with the water :thumbup:

I make the Dutch chocolate with almond milk--but the rest with Water. Except Pom Razz, which is best made with Crystal Light lemonade, IMO. (It totally changes the flavor, and is now one of my favorites.)

ETA: I forgot to add that the cinnamon capp flavor is great mixed with coffee--either cold or hot. If you do it with hot coffee, be sure to temper the Protein first so that it doesn't turn in to a clumpy mess.

To temper it, mix it with a little tepid Water to make a paste. Let it sit a couple of minutes while you heat up your liquid. When your liquid is "halfway hot," add an ounce or so to the Protein paste--stirring vigorously and constantly as you pour. When your liquid is all the way warmed, add it to the protein--again stirring really vigorously as you pour.

I use soy slender soy milk or unsweetened almond breeze. I also like to add Torani sugarfree carmel syrup! YUMM I like to blend it with ice and drink it really cold!!
