You all say' date=' "add a half scoop of unflavored Protein powder" to your drinks or food, like that's the easiest thing to do! When I add this powder, it clumps - never fully dissolves and I can't get it down! What's the secret?

What Protein Powder are you using & what are you mixing it with?

How much do you add? A full scoop? How much milk? You said Milk chocolate flavor' date=' then you said you use Unflavored whey Protein.I have a Magic Bullet. Guess I need list of your ingredients. Sorry to be so dense!

I take 1 cup of milk, one scoop of Slim Fast Milk chocolate flavor, 1/2 scoop of unflavored whey then some crushed ice (it leaves less chunks) then I blend in the bullet. I don't drink this everyday. Mainly for a post-workout treat.

GNC unflavored Soy Protein. Tried it in Soups -clumped. Tried it in yogurt - it clumped. Tried it in homemade shakes but wasn't sure of amount to use.

Hmmm, migh be the powder you have doesn't mix well, most of us that mix extra Protein into stuff are using whey protein isolate (a milk based protein rather than a plant based)

I was testing this out during my preop diet - adding the unflavored Protein to my chicken broth. I tried the fusion Unflavored but I also have Isopure Unflavored on order. I added the packet of Protein Powder to about 1/4 cup of Water and used a fork to kind of wisk it until the clumps were gone. Then I added it to my Soup. It didn't clump, thicken or change the flavor at all. I anticipate that I will do the same when I add it to mashed potatoes. I did read that you can not add it directly to very hot food or that will curdle it a bit and make it lumpy, etc.

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely try this.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
