Coffee Creamer

When you use your protein powder for your coffee creamer, do you make up your protein drink with your milk or water and then mix it in with your coffee or do you just put your powder into your coffee? 

I mix mine the night before with almond milk. I have found that it clumps in the coffee if I don't. 

I whisk mine w/  1/4 cup milk, or water,  then add the hot mixture to it, 

Whisking the whole time, otherwise it clumps.

And I always add the protein powder directly to the coffee after I have cooled it down so the protein won't clump. 

I don't like my coffee piping hot, so it works for me to drink it warm, but not hot. 

I use pre mixed Protien drinks like Priemer Protein or Muscle Milk. The on the go drinks, since I usually only drink coffee while at work, this is an easier option for me and I don't have to worry about mixing powder or milk or whatever.
