Warm protien drinks??

Okay, I want to know what the secret is to warming up protien drinks so it's not thick like pudding/jello.  lol
I mixed the protien in BEFORE heating it up, but it didn't matter...help....

my mistake, I did have pudding in my first post...I meant protien powder!  LOL

Hi there!

I am a little confused about why you would be adding pudding to your hot protein, but here's what you need to do to keep it from curdling (if the water is too hot, it actually "cooks" the protein and you wind up with curds in your whey).  I have heard of using pudding in cold drinks though, and a small amount should not get too thick.

For a hot drink, you take your scoop of protein and mix it with an ounce or so of COLD water, into a smooth mixture like Elmer's glue.  Then you add 6 oz. of your ho****er or coffee....I heat my water in a microwave for 1.5 minutes--2 minutes for 12 oz.---DO NOT BOIL!!!!  If using coffee, it should be hot enough as it sits on the warmer.

Since I like to have a bigger drink than 6-8 oz., I will add Swiss Miss diet (25 cal.) cocoa, or the International Coffee (sugar fee, cafeine free) so that I can have a 12 oz drink.  These both go well with chocolate protein.  There is an International Coffee in a Chai Tea flavor that is sugar free that goes well with vanilla.

Hope this helps you get going this morning!

silly girl, I didn't put pudding in my drink...lol   When I heated it up, it turned into pudding...LOL
I think it was too hot because yes, it cooked it.  I will try what you said!
thanks!

THAT makes WAY more sense........

Now that it is so cold, I have one every morning and sometimes before bed.  Yum, Yum!!!!

Dawn, how much are you asking for those Jeff Dunham tickets?  we love him here!

I'm no expert, but I know if the liquid is too hot, it will curdle the protein, so you may have to experiment with temps to fid the consistency and tast you like. 

Also, if anyone here is into Starbucks, you can ask them to add a scoop of protein powder in your drink for an extra 50 cents a scoop.Theirs hasn't curdled on me yet.

Do you know how much protein is in a scoop?  Can you taste it /  tell they added it?  Just curious.  I'm there daily and was just curious.

Thanks,

I couldn't taste it and it has about 6 g of protein for each scoop. Ask them for it next time and post a review here!

Hi Nicolle -

I stopped by Starbucks yesterday.. Got my  norm..  Americano, skim milk, 2 splenda.  Asked for a scoop of protein.  Drove away, took a sip and .  Chunks!!!!!!   Oh my gosh, yuck.  So I went back and told them I could not drink it with chunks!  LOL
Of course, then they proceed to tell me that no one ever order a scoop of protein in Americano because "whey" does not disolve.  Ummm.  Why they did not mention this when I ordered is beyond me.  So, I will not be trying that again!

OMG!!!  Yuck! That has NOT happened to mine! Maybe they have their coffee hotter than the Starbucks by me and that makes it "chunk."
