Re: Popping Air Bubbles when Whey Protein Powder is Used

[Guest guest]

I had not realized she was asking about Whey and foaming. I learned

that early on when I began using Whey on some days after a Curves

workout. If I am not going to simply shake it with water in a jar,

but adding to smoothie, I always wait till I get all the rest of the

smoothie done mixing/blending, then just before serving, I add the

whey and let it stir on low speed. No added foam that way.

Whey Protein Powder is unbelievably foam-creating and it is

durn near impossible to pop the micro-bubbles out of drinks made

with it.

How long have you let it run on the lower variable speed?

I like these protein powders:

I will try that addition of the Whey protein powder after everything is mixed.

When I finish the powder, (it was expensive!) I'll try another less foaming.

I was surfing around, reading messages, and other people commented about highly

foaming foods. This foam can really give me a stomach ache if the drink is very

large and I usually have the tendency to have a large drink, since it's a meal

replacement.

I'm so glad that you said this - an excellent optional way to get the whey protein into the smoothie without creating MASSIVE air bubble/foam issues! :-)

In my experience the most foaming things are: oranges, pineapples, and tomatoes (especially tomatoes). (Aside from whey of course :-)But the kind of foam from these things, are much easier to pop out on low speeds. Sometimes tomatoes have to be run on low speed for QUITE some time depending on just how much foam was created…

Whey is a good source of protein and through my research I learned that

it does not have lactose (at least the brands I checked). You may or may

not need added protein, depending on other factors in your life. Unknown

to most people, vegetables have a fair amount of protein. I add protein

after a workout, esp if I have not had a hearty breakfast with protein

in it. I don't add lots of protein to my diet (on top of what I would

get with our particular usual diet) but I have found adding a scoop of

whey on days I work out helpful and is more or less a meal replacement

if I don't have time for lunch after the workout.

This is interesting. I put whey protein powder in my green lunch smoothie

almost everyday. I don't notice an over abundance of foam, but there is some.

I almost always have a bit of pineapple and/or orange in there and assumed that

is where my foam was coming from.

Today, I'll try the trick for adding it at the end and see what happens.

Thanks!

I often put a scoop of why protein in my smoothie, and have never had any foaming issues. I use the NOW brand, which I feel comfortable with - the purity of their products is quite good, from what I've read over the years.Ginny From: busymomothree <mich_hamilton@...> Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2012 7:07
