Wasting Whey?

[PuertoRicanGuitars]

When I mix my protein shakes, a good portion of it doesn't mix and it clumps together. It just sticks to the cup and ends going down the drain when I wash the cup. It doesn't matter how much I stir and shake or blend, it won't dissolve completely. Does this happen with anybody's shakes?

Whey protein usually dissolves if you let it be for an hour or so. I've never experienced clumpings with my whey unless I take huge amounts and try to mix at once.

Solution might be to wait before you drink it, mix with small amounts at a time or use a shaker.

Those shaker bottles are great.

My girlfriend got me a blenderbottle as a random present. It's very, very good at what it's supposed to do (mix stuff).

Also, you can reduce clumping by adding more liquid.

Heat is a problem. Use colder water and slowly add in the water, like you're making dough for cake. If you just dump all the flour and water together it forms big clumps which are a pain to remove.

Shaker bottles also work for mixing whey, personally I dislike them since they make the mixture all frothy. If you have access to a blender that would be very useful. Also good for mixing in and pulverizing other ingredients like fruit and such.

I used to have this problem when I put the whey into my bottle before the water. This issue resolved itself almost completely when I filled the cup with water first, and then added the powder.

Also, this happened a lot more when I was buying some crappier quality whey. Now that I am getting some higher-end stuff and spending a bit more on it, my shakes are much smoother.

theblackcat's link is a great product, also.
