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.

Yes, and I am drinking a cup of coffee with a scoop right now. I add my milk first and then slowly add the powder while stirring. Stirring is key!

I've added it to Cream of Wheat, but I can't have hot coco with my kidney disease and don't drink coffee. What I found with Cream of Wheat is adding to the dry cereal and mixing it up before cooking keeps it from clumping. I've added it to my omelets and mix it up real good, and added to home made mashed potatoes. Also added it to casseroles----again mixing with dry ingredients first.

You cannot add it to a hot liquid. I mixed it with 1/4 cup of powdered milk and a bit of fruit to sweeten it. I cannot stand artificial sweeteners or stevia. I would rather sweeten it myself using a real sugar in small quantity. I used a small single serve blender or it can be mixed with a fork. Put real food in it and no more than a tsp of real sugar. You can even use a bit of real cocoa powder if you like chocolate.

All protein powder will clump when added to liquid over 140 degrees. I mix the powder with a little bit (about 1/3 cup) of cool liquid, then shake it up really good, then add about half of the hot liquid, shake it up again, then add the rest of the hot liquid. For me, that is 2 scoops of protein mixed with creamer, shake, hot water about halfway up, shake, then rest of hot water, shake and enjoy!

I add to soup after I have heated it, I do let it sit for about a minute before adding the powder but have no problems at all with clumping.

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.

Added to hot water or other liquid it dissolves quickly, but if you microwave it it is horrible. I think when you nuke it it changed the molecular structure. But that aside.... The stuff is horrible tasting !!! It ruins the flavor of every thing you put it in. Worse than dry powdered milk! Awful!!

I tried it with cold milk, then with hot and it seemed to work better using hot milk. The only other thing I can think of is that you might be stirring your coffee after the milk is added. I wouldn't.

I used it with making some coconut flour pancakes, this is so much more concentrated than splenda, no joke in my coffee a tiny few sprinkles will do easy, where now if I switch back to splenda like 6 teaspoons is still not as sweet. I can say this the smallest pouch lasts me 2 months using it in my coffee which is daily 1 to 3 cups. You might have to put say in your mixture and taste test it for sweetness to your liking.

Hello, I don't have a cappuccino maker, but I used to. I think you would put the pumpkin pie sauce in the milk before you froth it and then add the frothy mixture to the coffee. I just love it in my coffee as is! Enjoy!

You can mix it with water or milk. I prefer milk myself only because I don't like black coffee. When they say 32 cups they are referring to an 8 oz size cup. The instructions say to mix it with either 9 oz. of cold water, or milk. I also add ice to mine.

You could add it to anything. It has no taste so it would mix into about anything. The small drop on the tongue is not bad though.

Yes, we did, adding a tablespoon to my regular coffee to add the chickory flavor. I think it worked a bit better in our cold brew system but it does work for hot pour over.

I use the chocolate and it mixes well in the liquid. It may thicken a little, but no enough to bother me. I didn't taste/smell the stevia specifically and the drink left no aftertaste. Maybe the instant coffee I added to the powder helped.

the milk is only steamed for cappuccino, not hot enough for cocoa. You can get very hot water if you use the cocoa that you mix with water

So, mixing hot water with coffee grounds produces a different flavor that mixing coffee grounds with hot water? Anyone have an explanation as to how that is possible?I'm not trying to be standoffish, just honestly curious. Also, thank you all for your comments.

I add it to our green drink made in the Vitamix. It mixes in well. I suppose you could add it to hot liquids and stir it in.

I don't know about coffee. I only used this item to mix hot chocolate and power drinks. This is not a blender, just a mixer.

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.

I've never tried it in coffee, just water and juice. The label also says you can mix it into food, but I've never tried that either.

Beth,It will clump if you only mix it by hand and not in a blender. Mixing with a blender it is fine. When I mix it by hand I manual mix it longer and i drink it with a little clump. I gladly accept a little less thorough mixing for a more healthy more pure whey protein!
