3 NG Behaviors When Shaking Protein Powder!!

 

Your protein always shake full of clumps or struggle to mix it properly? 

The flavour is great, but the powder just won’t blend?

 If these problems sound familiar, this guide is for you. Here are the common mistakes people make when preparing their protein shakes.

 

 

NG Behavior 1: Adding Protein Powder Before Water

 

One of the main reasons for clumpy shakes is adding the protein powder first and then pouring in water. When the powder sits at the bottom and water is added on top, it tends to clump up. While this doesn't affect the nutritional value, it makes the shake harder to mix. If you want to have a yummy protein drink, please always add water first, then the powder.

 

 

NG Behavior 2: Using Hot or Icy Water for protein shake

 

Unlike milk powder, protein powder doesn't mix well with hot or icy water. Although using these won't affect the protein’s nutritional value, they can cause the powder to clump or congeal. It's best to first mix the powder with room temperature water and then add hot water (no hotter than 70°C) or ice cubes to adjust the temperature.

 

 

NG Behavior 3: Storing Protein Shakes for Later

The best time to drink your protein shake is within 30 minutes of mixing it. 

It's not recommended to store it for later or refrigerate it, as this can lead to bacterial growth and a gradual loss of protein effectiveness, reducing the benefits.

 

🗯️Best Times to Drink Protein Shakes💕

Now that you know how to properly mix your protein powder, when should you drink it?

It’s best to consume protein within 30 minutes before or after a workout to aid muscle recovery, or drinking a protein shake before bed can also help with muscle growth. 

For those looking to lose weight, having a protein shake before bed or between meals can prevent cravings and late-night snacking, supporting your weight loss goals.
