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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
