At first, we will have to know
Types of whey protein available
- Whey protein are of three types
- Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC)
- Whey Protein Isolate (WPI)
- Whey Protein Hydrolyzed (WPH)
The first type of whey protein i.e. Whey Protein Concentrate
(WPC) have low levels of carbohydrates. It can be lower as much as 30% or
higher 90%.
The Second type of Whey Protein i.e. Whey Protein Isolate (WPI)
are more processed than WPC (Whey Protein Concentrate) to remove all fats and
lactose.
The Third type to whey protein i.e. Whey Protein Hydrolyzed
(WPH), it is partly hydrolyzed. It does not need much of digestion to be absorbed
by body.

Adding milk
to Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) OR Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) increase the
protein, carb, fat, lactose content. It increase the test in both cases ( WPC /
WPI) but it damages the basic needs. Sodium level also increase and not good
for Lactose Intolerant people.
Adding milk
means adding carbs, saturated fats and calories too. We should keep that in
mind. But it tests awesome while taking with milk.
Conclusion:
If you are
lactose intolerant avoid milk. If not adding milk will not be any harm.
Otherwise taking with water is a good option
