How does this unflavored protein powder do in hot liquid? I'm looking to add to chicken broth or hot soup. Sweet protein drinks get old.

I know the question is old, but I am going to respond so that others may know the answer to this question as I see it get asked a lot. All Whey Protein powders lose their efficacy above 130F degrees. The protein breaks down and becomes useless and is no longer protein. So while this will work in 'warm' liquids (I like to use in coffee that I have cooled with a couple of ice cubes) it will not work in a hot soup. I believe plant based powders do not have this issue.

When I put it in something that's hot, not just warm, it gets slimy. I've never tried in hot liquid though just mashed potatoes and refried beans and it makes a slimy texture- not appealing.

Thickens soup a little but doesn't change the taste. I always added to veggie soup or chili with no taste issues

It's a powder. I mix it with water or almond milk. You can blend or shake it. It's great stuff, but kinda pricey so it's not my only protein powder.

I use this product with a vanilla protein powder, buttermilk and apple juice in a smoothie. I like it. It is not "wow delicious" but it is ok. I hope this helps you...

You can mix it with milk and heating it may allow it to blend better. It's a bit of a challenge getting it to mix and the powder can be messy but the taste is good.

You can not "un-denature" protein, you can only denature it. So in the process of making whey powder from milk, there has to be a heating at some time, so some denaturing will happen. The only way to get totally "un-denatured" protein is to drink raw milk. But... denatured protein still has all the amino acids that the raw protein had, the protein structure is just rearranged. Bottom line - it does not matter.

That's true but I buy the unsweetened powder for the flavor. I have put it in my coffee for a rich chocolate taste and now I put it in my chocolate protein drinks that I make for the added chocolate taste too, I hope this helps. If you need further info-let me know. Good luck!

I have used both the powered and liquid versions. I first bought the powder. I simply dissolved it in some warm water so that I could use it in the dispenser of my front loading machine. I now have the liquid, which is easier. I do add some warm water with it, because you are to use only 1/8 cup and I want to make sure it all goes into the wash!

I did not try mixing with soup or warm liquids but it should. All protein degrades if it gets to hot. Soup should be fine or other warm liquids.

I haven't added this to anything hot because of the risk of protein degradation. I use it in smoothies and it's great. I've never had any trouble with clumping but I always use a blender. I don't care for the whey-taste of most protein powders which is why I like this Nectar product. My daughter has a J-Tube and blends it with her "feed" for added protein.

That's the awesome thing about this... It's a powder. I mix it in my protein shake. Don't even taste it :). Went with this because I hate the pills too.

They suggest using it in soups, tea, whatever on their website. I've used it in lots of ways...it's a fiber, so the heat won't destroy it working. From the product description: "Dissolve in room temperature liquids or add to moist foods, hot or cold."

If you have a way to blend it. I use an Immersion blender. Stirring with a spoon does not work. I do not like the unflavored because it is sweetened. I always order vanilla bean or chocolate and LOVE both.

Yes, you can add it to a protein shake/smoothie. I did notice a very mild flavor difference but not enough to bother me at all. I recommend that you use a blender otherwise it won't mix very well . . . hope this is helpful to you.

It can. You would need to treat it like a thickening adgent if you are not going to blend it though: take the amount you want and a bit of the hot liquid and make a paste. keep adding to that paste until it is creamy and then add it into your soup/broth. I agree with the person that said it may taste a bit chalky , but it is not so noticeable that it is unbearable.

I've never tasted it straight. I add a scoop of original protein powder with a heaping tablespoon of Ovaltine in the orange (has vitamins and minerals and delicious chocolate flavor) with 8-10 oz of milk. That all goes into a shaker bottle. Mixes up beautifully and tastes really really good!

I am unsure what you are asking, what ingredients are the sweeteners or was it sweet? I can say it's the only protein shake mixed with only water without gagging.

Just add 2 tablespoons of PB2 powder directly into your protein shake! I especially love it with a chocolate shake.
