Can heating our ready to drink Protein Shakes ruin the Protein? I love them in my coffee and heat them in the microwave and am wandering if I am defeating the purpose? Answers please!!

I looked this up on a body builders site..Maybe it will help:

Heating up Protein will not have any detrimental effect.

Heating up enzymes (protein catalysts) will most probably denature them and destroy their function.

Unless you wish to ingest functional enzymes (not likely) heating up a Protein shake is totally fine.

Thanks! I had read that but wasn't sure if the last part pertained to us. I love my Premier Protein shakes with my coffee and a little sf caramel machiatto (mispelled) in it. I heat it in the microwave and wasn't sure if it ruined the Protein. I know Injury says we can't heat protein up past 130 but I wander if that ruins the consistency of the product and not the protein.

I body building site said no higher then 100....the 110 kills the enzymes but not the Protein.....That's what I read and the guy is a nutritionist....

You're right, it may glob up the consistency, but not destroy the protein. It's like cooking an egg....the consistency changes but the protein is still there.

I am going to make a cup now and see what it heats up to. I heated it for 90 seconds and it went to 150 so maybe I should back it down to a minute. But it make sense that you can cook meat and eggs and still have Protein.

Kindle is right. Heating changes the texture but not the amount or quality of the Protein. I have reheated my coffee with a shake added and it get these lumps in it. It's yucky, but it wont hurt you or decrease the amount of Protein.

Thanks for the reply! I usually add ready to drink shakes to my coffee so I have never had any lumps but it's good to know I am still getting my protein.
