Next, add the appropriate amount of liquid. Use water or skim milk as a base if you want your shake to be lower in calories or fat, respectively. If you prefer something more flavorful, try almond milk, coconut water, or low-fat yogurt instead.

The liquid will not only help with the consistency but also with your protein powder’s flavor.

Step 3. Mix with Spoon.

Use a spoon or fork to stir. After stirring, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to remove anything sticking to the sides.

Stir with a spoon until all of the protein powder has dissolved completely in the liquid and there are no lumps remaining at the bottom of the container. Pour your mixed protein shake into a glass and enjoy.

Step 4. Shake in a Bottle.

Thereafter seal the lid tightly and shake well until there are no lumps. Take it off the bottom of the shaker or container if you need more space for shaking.

Additional Tips : How to Mix Protein Powder Without Lumps?

However, if you are going to consume your protein powder in the morning then you may pour your mixture into a sealed container and refrigerate overnight. The consistency will be thinner than usual at the initial point when you mix all the ingredients like milk, fruits or juice, but it will thicken up once you put it in the refrigerator and allow it to set overnight.

In the morning, give your protein shake another quick stir to ensure that everything is mixed together well before pouring it into a glass and enjoying your healthy breakfast smoothie. If it is too thick, try adding more liquid or adding more ice cubes.

For those on-the-go moments when you don’t have time to wait overnight for the drink to set, mix it in a shaker bottle by shaking vigorously while holding down the top of the bottle with one hand while gripping tightly onto the outside edge of the lid with your other hand so that nothing leaks out.

After 15 seconds of vigorous shaking and 40 seconds waiting, open the top and see if there are any lumps left at the bottom. If not then enjoy.
