Adding Protein Powder to Hot Soups/Cereal

Hi all!

I was wondering if anyone has any advice about adding protein powders to soups and/or cereals?  I want to make some cream of wheat but the last time I added the protein powder it ended up clumping up instead of being smooth.  Also, if I do make soup and refrigerator or freeze it will the protein powder clump up when I reheat it? 

Thanks!

Add the protein powder BEFORE you heat it.  Heat slowly and stir occasionally.  Idont; know about freezing.  It is fine to refrigerate something with protein powder in it, but I woudl hesitate to do it fro more than a day, though.  Personally, I would refrigerate or freeze the soup without the protein powder, then add the powder right before you reheat it.

 Awesome advice Lora!!

...Always make a little water paste with your protein powders with the warm/ho****er you are going to add it to that way it doesn't think you are tryin to add dumplin dough  to hot broth. 

I learned in culinary school :

any gravies or soups that need thickening by anything flour, baking powder , thick it, potatoe flakes or protein powder should be put in a little warm/ ho****ery consistency before adding.Plus you can see how thick it becomes before you create a cement block by adding too much
