First of all, the water temperature

How many degrees of water should be used for brewing? Many people use hot water when making protein powder for the first time, thinking that hot water has good solubility. In fact, this is the wrong posture. When protein powder is brewed with hot water, the powder will not wash off, while protein scalds it with hot water, which will change its properties and make it difficult to dissolve.

Correct posture

Warm water brewing. If the stomach is good enough, it can also be brewed directly with cold water.

Hot water will not only denature protein, but also affect other nutritional components and functional characteristics of protein powder. However, although the characters of protein have changed, its nutritional value has not changed, which does not affect the absorption of amino acids by human body.

Second, the order

When making coffee, milk powder and vitamin drinks, our habit is to put powder first and then water. Isn't it great to watch the drink wash away at once? But if you brew protein powder in the same order, you will find it difficult to brew.

Correct posture

Water first, then powder.

Three. volume of water

There is no fixed limit on the amount of water used for brewing protein powder. Drink less water if you like it strong, and more water if you like it weak. But in general, there is a general range. If it's too light, it will definitely brew a lot. If you can't drink it all at once, it will affect protein's digestion and absorption. And when the weather is hot, if you don't drink it in time, it's easy to go bad.

Correct posture

Generally, a spoonful of powder (about 30g) is mixed with 300-500ml of water or milk.

Fourth, the container

The function of shaking the cup is definitely not just to cool down, but to fully dissolve the protein powder. Even the protein powder with good solubility, if stirred in an ordinary cup with a spoon, may agglomerate and not be washed off, or get stuck at the bottom of the cup. Generally speaking, as long as it is a closed shake cup, you can shake it vigorously. If there are metal balls, it will be more labor-saving.

Correct posture

Shake a cup

Do you have to use the shaker? In fact, any container that can be fully stirred will do. If you use a blender, of course it is better. But shaking the cup is the most convenient and economical choice at present.

Fifth, collocation

Water? Skim milk? Whole milk? Juice? Some users think that protein powder is not rich enough and delicious enough, so they will choose milk to brew, or mix some juice to experience a better taste. In fact, protein powder with blisters can completely achieve the basic purpose of supplementing protein. Milk and fruit juice are not impossible, but it should be noted that if supplements such as glutamine are added to protein powder, water is still needed to avoid interference with absorption.

Correct posture

It is best to have water, milk and proper amount of fruit juice.
