How to Drink Milk With Whey Protein

Weight-building and resistance workouts tear your muscles down. You want to repair your muscles to build more lean muscle fiber, so it's important to learn how to drink milk with whey protein.

Steps

1.

   Drink a whey protein shake with milk for breakfast.

   Drink a whey protein shake right after a weight training or resistance workout.

   • Make a shake, using whey protein, low fat milk and some berries in a blender.
   • Drink your shake within 30 to 60 minutes after finishing your workout. This is the opportune time for having a shake, because your muscles will absorb the nutrients quickly, helping you recover.
   • Include some simple carbohydrates with your protein shake. Your body will absorb the amino acids in the shake more efficiently, which helps with tissue repair and growth.

   Drink a whey protein shake along with your meal.

   • Mix your protein shake, using whey protein, low fat milk and fruit.

   • Add more calories with less volume to your meal. This allows you to add needed calories as you work to build more lean muscle onto your body.

   Avoid catabolism by drinking a protein shake.

   • Make a whey protein shake, using whey protein, low fat milk and fresh fruits.
   • Drink your protein shake before going to bed. Your muscles get additional nutrients during the night, helping you to avoid catabolism, where your body starts breaking muscle down for fuel.

Tips

• Drinking a post-workout protein shake enables you to put on more lean muscle tissue than people who drink whey protein with water.
• Your protein shakes don't need to be complicated to make--include a packet of whey protein powder, a travel mug and a cup of milk, ice and a cooler with your workout items. Store them in your car and mix the shake right after your workout. This enables you to drink a shake and give your body the benefit of a shot of protein.
• Adding low fat milk to your whey protein shake adds calories, flavor and glucose to your diet.
