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.
