Using protein powder in hot liquids

The label on my Isopure unflavored protein says it can be added to ANY liquid either hot or cold.  I have heard that others have problems with the protein curdling in hot liquids.  True or not?  If so, how do I get around that?  I need to add it to my veggie/chicken/beef broths starting this Saturday.

Thanks in advance!

It curdled on me too ...but I wasn't using Isopure. When is your surgery? Most surgeons don't worry about your protein intake that first week ...they know people can't do it. They are more worried about you getting fluids in.

We have a bariatric friendly store here that has hot chocolate protein packets, yummy!!!!

They have an online store if you want to check it out and order, here it is:

I know that Unjury will curdle in very hot liquids.  But it's fine if the liquid is 130 degrees or cooler.  I never added protein powder to hot liquids.  Sorry!

Brooke,

My surgery is on Tuesday.  I have to do 3 days of clear liquids prior to (starting Saturday) and the nutritionist wants me to do the protein powder in my liquids prior so I don't get so hungry and to prevent hypoglycemia in me (which I tend to get when I don't eat)

I have never added to hot either. How is the isopure? I had some I bought and I thought it was nasty....couldn't handle it. But I usually add milk to my shakes, so not clear. Best of luck on your surgery and your getting the protein in...

Deb,

I actually haven't opened it yet.  I hope it isn't 3 solid days of torture....

If you dissolve the powder in a small amount of cold water first, then add your hot fluid, it should be fine. i make a hot protein chai tea, and I add boiling water to it after dissolving it first and it's fine.

Lisa,

Awesome!!!!!  Thanks so much!

You are quite welcome hon, xoxo
