We recommend to mix 20 ounces of water with 1 scoop of WICKED Protein Powder in a Shaker Bottle and let it settle for 15 minutes before drinking to reduce the foam. Customers say they mix, shake, and let settle while they take a shower after a workout, while they are at the gym, or even preparing over night. If you want a stronger flavor, mix with less water and if you want less flavor, mix with more water.
