Freezing protein powders



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had experience with putting unflavored Protein Powder in Soups and freezing them. Does it seem to freeze well, or should I just add it when I'm ready to eat it.

I dont freeze mine

But adding Protein powder to sugar free pudding has been a staple of mine. Never had an issue and its always refrigerated

Freezing whey Protein has no effect on it. It can change the original consistency of what you had frozen though. Cooking Whey protein depends on how long and at what temp you cook it. Whey Protein begins to break down the amino acid bioavailability when the temperature hits 167 degrees Fahrenheit. That breakdown makes the protein much harder for the body to digest. As an example: if you cook it at 194 degrees Fahrenheit for over 5 minutes you still have 80% solubility, so you only lost 20% efficacy. What bodybuilders do is mix it in after its heated and eat it right away. Also, don't always cook it. Make shakes, stir into pudding, applesauce, etc. Hope this helps [emoji106]

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
