I am a new sleever=3 days home. My protein powder mixes fine in cold liquids but mixing it in broths all it does is clump up. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Rather than adding the powder directly to the broth, have you tried dissolving it overnight in milk or water, then adding that dissolved liquid to the broth?

I will give it a try today. Thanks for the help.

There's a certain temperature that you have to keep your liquid below... I think it's 120 degrees? Anything hotter than that, the protein will separate and rise to the surface and form a disgusting gelatinous mess. Even if you mix it separately and then add it in, make sure whatever you're adding it to isn't too hot.

Yep, it's too hot. I've made that mistake with hot decaf coffee before - UCK!

Let it cool to lukewarm. Also some of the powders seem to be more prone to clumpiness than others, so I've been whizzing all my drinks with my immersion blender just to be safe. While the Protein drinks are pretty distasteful on their own, even MORE distasteful is a big clump of Protein Powder in a gooey ball hitting your mouth when you're just expecting liquid. GAG!!!

You may just need to use a blender because many protein powders will clump even in cool or room temperature liquids. Whenever I add the unjury unflavored powder to anything (it's never hot when I add it) it clumps. It just takes time for it to dissolve and unclump - mixing it forever seems to help that.
