Does this turn thick, gritty, and clumpy when it sits in liquid? Referring to the unsweetened version.

It thickens as it sits in liquid. I've made a shake to drink over time but do not like it as it thickens. I recommend drinking it within ~15 minutes.

I use it in a smoothie. It doesn't clump in a smoothie. It is a meal replacement for me ( in the summer!)

Im not sure if it dissolves easily and smoothly in water since I don't add it to water. As far as dissolving in skim milk, yogurt and berries I can definitely say yes. Better tasting than anything I have used and it is NOT "gritty".

I'm not sure how well it dissolves in water, because I just throw the powder in a cup of water and swirl it around for about 30 seconds and drink it. When I do it that way, there is a bit of grit at the bottom. So it dissolves to a degree, but I'm sure if you spent a little more time with it and put in a thick juice or something, it would be fine.Taste is pretty bitter. I just drink it straight with water, but I can see how some people would not want to do it. Kinda has a fishy smell. Taste is bitter with a strangely kinda sweet aftertaste after a while.

No, it doesn't really dissolve. The powder is very fine, similar in size and texture of ground cinnamon. When mixed in water, it becomes a suspension. The first three times I used it, I mixed it in a glass of water, about eight ounces and stirred it with a spoon. It was horrible, like drinking muddy water. I had to choke it down and could feel the "slurry" of powder that clumped and didn't mix well. Now I put a scoopful in a 500ml stainless steel water bottle, fill halfway and shake vigorously. Then I fill the remainder of the bottle and reshake. It's a lot to drink at one time, but it's goes down so much easier. No, it doesn't really dissolve.

I never had a liquid version. I always shake mine before I use it and that might solidify it back to a gel.

It is somewhat chalky, just like most proteins, if you want a yummy shake you either have to go to Wendy's or put some additives in. It isn't gritty at all. The texture depends on what you make it with; ex. milk-smoothest, water-runnier.

Hi Dee, I'm just seeing this question now. The other comments are correct, there shouldn't be any grittiness. It should be smooth and creamy. Your jar may have been subjected to heat during shipping. Please email me (if you haven't already) and I'll send you a replacement jar right away. Kenny CEO Christina Moss Naturals

I have only used this whey in fruit smoothies which I mix in a blender. It dissolves totally with no clumping. It is very tasty. I have not used it in anything hot.

Yes, I froze it all the time, in small servings. It does mess with the consistency a bit; I was blending it in smoothies and it wasn't a problem.

For me, it did not actually dissolve in anything, even when left overnight. I believe there are too many solids which is why it is so grainy, and clumpy.

It can probably come across as a little chalky. With that said, it is one of the best protein powders I've ever used (so far I have only bought the chocolate). I also never just drink it straight. I mix mine with a handful of frozen fruit and a couple of cups of leafy greens (kale, spinach, chard) and blend together. I think it's great.

For me, the flavor changes a lot with the texture/consistency. If you get the powder/liquid ratio right, it tastes like a delicious chocolate shake. If it's too dilute, it's kind of like a gross artificially sweetened juice. If it's too concentrated, it's chunky. I also ONLY like the chocolate flavor, and really don't like the others...

Gritty, possibly yes, if you are not accustomed to almond butter with no additives. But dark clumps are not something I ever experienced with this brand. The crunch almond butter is more "clumpy" than the smooth, but stirring resolves that. In my experience, a little oil accumulates at the top and needs to be stirred vigorously down to the bottom of the container. This is actually quite hard work, b/c the product is very thick/rich.

this is thick like a syrup. You do need to mix with water or I use unsweetened iced tea.

I blend this powder with so many things, I think it blends well. The powder itself is fine, but it does leave a slight bit of grit at the bottom of the blender. I can't say how well it dissolves in juice or water alone, I have never had it that way.

I have not tried adding it to coffee or hot chocolate mix, but I do add it to my cold instant breakfast and to my oatmeal and have had no problems with clumping. It makes my beverage or skim milk thicker and more like whole milk.
