for builking, how much carbs should you add to a protien "As in a shake"
How long is a piece of string.
Bulking, as long as your over maintenance calories with 2-3gms protein per kg it does not make a difference how many carbs you put in your shake. Or if you even have a shake and eat the carbs instead.

I go 400ml of milk, then 2 heaps of protein and then 2 of oats... Seems pretty decent.

This.
Have whey shake and then eat ice cream. (or sugary cereal if you want low fat also) Or just add ice cream to shake
It makes zero difference if you get your carbs in powder form or from food.

Love the taste of my protein shakes, I look forward to having them daily, so if yours do not taste decent I think you are buying the wrong whey.
For a great recipe that tastes as good if not better than a Gloria Jeans Iced chocolate or similar combine 200ml of milk, about 10 ice cubes, 40gram of WPI, I use BN Chocolate or Vanilla and blend till it is a nice consistency.
It's ice cold, delicious and good for you, plus it fills me up, much better than ice cream.
PS I don't add carbs to my shakes as they already have enough calories for my liking.
Thanks for the replies, ive just bought whey protein powder and carbohydrate powder and want to know how much of each to mix as a bulking shake, I just looked at the details of a popular bulking protein which showed me how much the carb to protein ratio should be ,which contains around 40g of protein per 100 grams and 50g of carbs per 100 grams, which is about, half half, considering it has whey concentrate which has around 80 grams of protein per 100 grams. Which if you think about it half of 80 is 40. So all I have to do is put 50% protein into my shake and 50% carbs!

Add some xanthum gum to that to make a thick shake/frappe
Where do I get that from??

any health food store should have it. It's farkin awesome for shakes especially. If you want lower cal you can use 1 cup ice, 1/2 cup milk, about 1/4 tspn xanthum, cottees diet choc syrup and a premade chilled coffee. Epic healthy frappe. (can add protein obviously if you want.)

I take a Max's brand shake which is Supersize. this is probably too much carbs though as it contains around 77g carbs with water and over 100g carbs in milk. around 50g protein too and 70 in milk. This shake has been effective for my bulking stage . and it provides some good energy for pre workout. Cheap too, only $80 for 5kg

$80 for 4kg of sugar and 1kg of cheap WPC/WPI blend is not cheap, its insanely expensive
You can get the same mix for about $8-12 per kg at most if you just buy the protein and then add your own Dextrose (about $3 per kilo at Big W)
Which protein would that be and where would I get it? I wouldn't be surprised at that info. I really don't know too much about what im drinking at the moment so id give anything a try
