If you mix the two before you leave for the gym and then don't drink until after, you won't have useful creatine anymore (or, at least, not as much).

Are you going to go through a "load phase" or just start taking it? I know there are mixed feelings about this. I don't ... mainly out of laziness. I just take 5+g daily and don't purposefully cycle it (though I'll forget to take it on the weekends and don't take it when I travel).
How do you measure the 5g?
I usually put a rounded teaspoon mixed along with the protein shake assuming that is about 5g of creatine

I have been taking the ON-protein with good results, but i switched from chocolate malt to cookies and cream and didnt like it. guess ill go back haha.
