KatimaDanny Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Do you need to have water with Soy protein? or Hemp Protein? Or any other type of protein powder? If so, how much water do you need for it? And why do you need water for Protein powder? Thank you for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjohanx Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Water or some liquid if you're going to make a shake out of it yes. You can include it in some recipes but most of them also call for some liquid of course.The amount varies greatly but around 3 dl of liquid should be enough for 30 grams of powder. If you bought artificially sweetned stuff it can taste awesome and you can decrease the amount of liquid and you'll get a pudding sort of which goes great with berries and stuff. Personally I don't use protein powders at all almost but I can't stand protein + water it's vile, protein powder + soy/rice/oat/whatever milk is great though (at least if it's a decent powder).

Marcina Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Yeah I usually mix my protein with a nut milk too. It's way tastier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 It's definitely tastier with non-dairy milk (I usually use soy). But since I am trying to lose fat I mix mine with water just to cut down on calories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xphilx Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 i always mix my protein powder with water and i see absolutely no problem with it. i actually think it tastes better than with soy-or-whatever-milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopussoir Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Mixing your protein with water vs almond/rice/hemp/soy milk all depends on the brand and type of protein. Brands like olympain labs and nitro fusion taste horrid in water. SunWarrior, Vega, Life Time... Taste great in plain 'cold' water. Usually the colder the better. Protein absorbs a lot of water. Drink extra with it because of this or you might find yourself dehydrated/zapped of energy later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcina Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 vega with water? i tried that once and it tasted horrible. Me too. I was staying in a hotel in Alberta (which is beef country) and Vega and water was what I lived off of. Naaasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djshrew Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I'm weird cause I actually like Vega with water. My favorite flavor is chai, even with water it tastes really creamy. but I also like NitroFusion so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that If I were to just have protein powder with out the water it would be fine. But if there is a negative impact on protein powder with out water then I will start drinking it with water.
