Protein powder in coffee - liquid or meal?

Can I drink it with water and other liquid or do I need to wait 30 minutes before having it?

It's both, but you don't have to wait before you drink other fluids. 

Thanks. I wanted to make sure I got in some early protein.

If whatever I'm having is liquid,  I go ahead and drink liquids right after since its already going through. As for tracking,  I count it as a meal or snack. 

Good strategy! Thanks.

I count shakes as a meal, but I don't wait 30 minutes to drink liquids after having liquids.
