i heard that you should drink it with water..i tried using water 2 days ago it tastes so much worse in my opinion then with milk. but i heard that takes too long for milk to absorb into body thats why you use water. is this true?

The Galactose part of Lactose probably wouldn't be the main issue, unless you were Lactose intolerant. Might cause a very slight bloated feeling in some non-Lactose intolerant people, but I don't think personally it would be a major issue.

The thing there is the Lactose could possibly increase the absorption of Protein powers, due to the Carbs, but the fact is you could increase the levels of Fat in your mix, depending on type of Milk used, add more calories to it compared to water, increase percentage Casein amount, which could slow digestion rate down, and incease viscocity of the mix as well, potentially slowing digestion rate down as well.

So better to use Water. You could try possibly reducing water amount, and see how that works. Obviously not so much you get sludge, but just enough so it doesn't taste like Watery chocolate, or alternatively, use a different flavour.

Get a better quality protein powder, cheap ones taste like crap, IMO.

If it's that bad, just drink your post workout shake with water, as you need quick digestion of it. But before bed or in the morning im sure its fine or even better for slower digestion with milk.

the whole point of liquid is fast absorbtion...if you want slow absorption eat solids
