Re: Hot Water Protein Shake

[Guest guest]

I guess it would depend on HOW you mix your shake as to whether or not it's

safe to use hot tap water. I shake mine up in a Tupperware shaker. I tried the

hot water one time, and when I went to shake it up, it exploded the top off

the Tupperware. God! What a mess! Choc shake all over my kitchen and me too.

Happened once in the car as well. I'd had the Tupperware with the water already

measured into it when I left home and left sitting on the car seat when I went

in to the store. It was a hot day and the water in the shaker got pretty warm.

Added my shake mix and put the lid on tight (AND I always keep my finger on

top of the pour-hole cover just in case) and shook it

up......................do you have ANY idea how long it takes to clean choc

shake out of all those

little a/c grates and radio speaker holes, etc? NEVER again will I try hot

water, I can promise you.

Basically, you were told right. Really hot water(as in recently

boiled) denatures the protein molecules (bends them out of shape).

Warm water may be OK.
