Tea with Milk (1 Teacup (6 Fl Oz)) and Gold Standard Whey Protein (Optimum Nutrition) (1 Serving)

Mix the whey with water or unsweetened milk alternatives instead of sweetened milk, and avoid adding sugar, honey, syrups, or flavored creamers to tea.

Have the whey and tea alongside a balanced meal or snack containing protein, healthy fat, and fiber rather than on an empty stomach.

Reduce the whey serving size (for example, use half a scoop) and assess whether the smaller portion produces a gentler response.

Choose an unflavored or low-sugar whey powder; check the label for added sugars and rapidly absorbed carbohydrate fillers.

Add a small amount of chia seeds or ground flaxseed to the shake to slow digestion, and allow it to thicken before drinking.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after having the drink to help muscles use circulating glucose.
