I was just wondering, I was suppose to mix skim milk with the protein powder but I didn't have any so I just used 2%. Is that alright?

thanks

It doesn't matter... just gives you a bit more carbs/fat/protein mixed in.

sure...just a bit more fat and slower absorbtion.

It's 'best' to use water to speed absorbtion because casein (found in milk) slows it down. It's not a huge deal mind you. I like PB and milk shakes at night along with some flax seed oil. Mmm. I really need to get back in the gym so I can enjoy such flavours again! :D

edit: leah beat me. jerk.

I wouldn't say it's that big of a deal. You sound like you are being too careful and hesitant. There's a lot worse things you could be putting in your body than milk regardless of fat percentage. Just chug it back and then go tear it up in the gym and you'll be fine.

Dont sweat it, I just wouldn't make it a habit, you take in extra fat.

not a big milk fan so i use water, sometimes OJ if its vanilla flavored protein, tastes pretty good together.

Okay rather than being a jerk about it I decided to help you out a bit. The following are some links that will give you some information on protein powder as a whole, as well as brands and reviews other Beyond members have given.
