Protein Powder Troubles?
Having trouble getting
Those Protein Powders to mix with stuff?
Someone at my support group
Said she always thought it made stuff taste like
Someone had thrown a "Handful of Chalk Dust"
In her food or drink.
Well the solution?
Liquid into Dry!
I first learned how to mix powder into liquid
Back when I first started as a Scenic Artist
Working with Dry Scenic Pigments.
But, It's also the same with Bread Dough
And I LOVE to Cook.
Suppose you are trying to add some to
Yogurt or mashed potatoes.
Take your scoop, (or ½ scoop)
Or the powder and put it in a coffee cup or small bowl.
Get a fork,
And slowly drip some cool water into the powder while
Stirring with the fork.
Don't try to just add the liquid.
Attempt to make a very thick paste.
Once you've got it into a thick paste
Then slowly add more drops
And stir some more until you get a thinner paste.
Keep this up until it is the same consistency
As the food you want to add it to.
By not having "liquid" per se,
The powder can't clump up and hang onto "bubbles."
Even mixing this up ahead of time and keeping it in the frig
Is good.
Then just take out how much you want
And stir it into your food.
I have great success this way with adding Protein Powder to-
Yogurt, Soups, Oatmeal, Smoothies, polenta, etc...
It really helps going into shakes/smoothies.
You don't get that "foam" on the top
That, no matter how long you run the blender
Just stays forever.
It also gets rid of the "powdery" texture
That can hang on otherwise.
This works for me!
Hope this helps you!
Best Wishes-
