I am 5 days post op and I would love to hear how some of you use the whey protein isolates. I am aware of the 140• degree aspect. I am able to get Premier Protein in chocolate down OK, pretty thick. I really like the New Whey liquid protein "shots" 42 grams of protein in blue raspberry and grape mixed with water, they are $3.75 each at my Dr office and I found them for just over $2 each online. I have a tub of whey protein isolates and am looking for cool ideas. Thanks all!

I don't think you need to worry about the 140 degree aspect. My nutritionist has me adding unflavored Protein to alot of things that are over 140 degrees. BUT after getting negative feedback on the subject of >140 on forums I did some research. From what I understand, yes, protein powders do "denature" at >140 BUT they do not lose their nutrition value. If they have 30 gr of protein at 78 degrees, they have that much protein at 200 degrees. It is like an egg. heat it up to >140 degrees and it changes form but it still has the same protein value. I mix it with blended Soups, coffee, and will add to oatmeal and other things when I am able to eat them.

It may not chemically change, but above 140° and it turns into a clumpy disgusting mess.

My favorite thing is to make meatball size balls with chocolate whey Protein and Peanut Butter, real thick like playdough. Then I chill them in the fridge and grab one if I have a day when I must have a something in between lunch and dinner.

I have not found this to be true. I have more issues with clumping at cold temps. If it is somewhat clumpy, I just use a whisk for a few seconds and it is fine. I use Isopure unflavored.

Is it literally just Protein powder and peanut butter? Cause this sounds good, and an easy way to get protein!

I have. I've tried Bariatric fusion and unjury. Both clump when in warm liquids. Doesn't matter how much I stir or shake, the clumps just don't go away.

Miss Mac, how much protein powder to peaNut butter ratio do u use?

I use Unjury chocolate splendor 3 scoops and 3/4 cup reduced fat Jif peanut butter. Makes 11 balls for 131 calories per ball and 10 HMS of protein. The recipe is on the Unjury website.

Sorry - that is 10 grams of protein
