A lot of people have 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!

Suppose you are trying to add some to Yogurt or mashed potatoes.
Take your scoop, (or actually only ½ scoop) of 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 fridge is good.
Then just take out how much you want and stir it into your food.

I had great success this way 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 worked for me some years back! Hope this helps you!

Best Wishes-

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I read this in passing yesterday and I'm SO glad I found it.

I've been having a heck of a time getting the unflavoured protein in my broth right. Lumpy, frothy, gritty, yuck.

So, I also read somewhere to watch the temp (hadn't known that), but I also did the paste thing today and it worked like a dream.

I made a paste with my unflavoured and some water, then added more and more until I had the whole cup of water in there. Then added the bouillon powder and heated it just a bit. I had a few lumps I just strained out.

1000 times better than what I've been dealing with.

I'm SO going to remember this for post op as well.
