If not, generally 1/3 cup is a serving -- which will typically provide between 20-23 grams of protein, depending on the brand (and whether it is whey isolate or whey concentrate.) In terms of how much fluid to mix with the whey powder, this is really a matter of personal preference. I like 1-1/2 scoops in 1-2 cups for skim milk for a post-workout recovery drink. If you are trying to keep calories down, you can mix it with water -- although it won't taste as rich. Best of luck! matt Nick, did the whey powder come with a scoop?

There are some issues with mixing creatine or whey protein blends that contain creatine ahead of time with fruit juices because it can break down the creatine. However, mixing whey ahead of time has no impact on its effectiveness. That said, I wouldn't let it sit in a warm car for two hours -- bring it into the gym with you in a controlled temperature and you should be fine.

I had heard that with pre-mixing whey powder with juice or milk or water or however you do it, it loses effectiveness very quickly and should be consumed within minutes. Is that the case? Can I pre-mix, take it to my workout, and consume it immediately thereafter, say within 1.5 hours? A question: Is there a limit on the time you can wait to consume a pre-mixed batch of whey protein?

With all the info out there on ergogenic capacity of whey protein products it took me a long time to learn what whey protein actually was. I really like the comparison with other high protein foods including the amount per serving vs price. I like the article.
