I only use water but my sister adds chia seeds to it when we have our longer runs. The berry tastes great with water but the lime tastes awful!

I use almond and whole milk...both are great. The whole milk foams really well when I only do one serving.

I never mixed w water. I always use almond coconut milk or added it to a smoothy w plain Greek yogurt at the base. It mixes well.

I have not mixed it with just water or coffee but use it more for fruit smoothies. I would use a blender to get the powder not to clump.

To be honest, I stopped using powder milk at all when the prices kept going up on it. I just use water, no milk or powder milk, and my family has never noticed.

Yes, I always use it with milk.. Regular milk works best. I have used almond milk also but it doesn't turn out as well.

I usually mix with water just to keep a tab on the overall caloric content, but mixing it with milk is really good too, and makes it a bit more creamy. I really like this product in smoothies; I don't usually drink without adding some fruit and blending it up into a shake. I haven't tired with rice or almond milk, but I imagine that would be fine.

Really? I've found it to be one of the better tasking powders. That having been said, I make a smoothy with a banana, a scoop of Vega, a handful of frozen strawberries, a handful of frozen cherries, and top it up (to the consistency you like) with vanilla almond milk. Give it a good blitz (a Vitamix is capable of breaking it down even further so it's not chalky at all) and voila! Blends right in! Pun intended... :)

The consistency is comparable to that of Whey Protein. The powder itself is light, fluffy, and airy. The stuff mixes quick and easy with a magic bullet type of blender. I've always used vanilla flavored almond milk as the mixing liquid and that's pretty tasty, you can handle mixing with water if you had to but why is the question.

You use 2 scoops of powder = 160 cal chai or 170 cal chocolate. Then add 8-10 oz liquid. I use almond milk or unsweetened coconut milk. Thats what JJ recomends.You can use water but it wouldn't taste as good. Don't use cows milk, it would defeat the purpose of a vegan shake.

I mix it with a banana, some almond milk, some blueberries, a yogurt and some flax seeds and ice in a blender for about 2 minutes....It's delicious!!!!

Powder. Mixes fairly easy. I sometimes take it with just a gulp of water. I kinda line it. I'm weird like that.

I use mine a few different ways. One, in my morning smoothie. I add it to my normal green veggie/ fruit smoothie. Love it. The second, I add it to my vanilla protein shake for a little variety. Here's a latte recipe, I haven't tried this yet because I don't own a milk frother or anything similiar. http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com/2012/11/mint-matcha-green-tea-latte.html?m=1

Water tastes pretty good if you are trying to get only the nutrition provided by the powder, but my favorite is mixing with whole milk. The extra calories from the milk help me put more weight on and it makes the the drink more like a shake. You can also use 2% or skim milk, but the less fat, the closer the taste gets to if you were to mix with water. I hope that helps! I love the powder and it tastes great, especially for the price.

I mix it with coconut milk and berries. I think it tastes pretty good, but I haven't tried other combinations.

I've tried but it comes out really dry, more like an almond flour kind of thing, by putting that powder into a food processor you see the oil that barely starts coming out. Someone has suggested to add oil to it but that is not the answer, I am still researching the right way of doing it and I will post it as soon as I do find out. The machine at Whole Foods makes it really easy and almonds go in without oil and they are not soaked as I have seen the machine being loaded with dry almonds they keep in a big plastic bag inside a box and they look pretty dry to me.

Hello: I mix this with milk or water using my vita-mixer in shakes. Have not tried mixing in a glass of cold water and stirring. It is a fine texture and blends completely.
