Can heating our ready to drink Protein Shakes ruin the Protein? I love them in my coffee and heat them in the microwave and am wandering if I am defeating the purpose? Answers please!!

I looked this up on a body builders site..Maybe it will help:

Heating up Protein will not have any detrimental effect.

Heating up enzymes (protein catalysts) will most probably denature them and destroy their function.

Unless you wish to ingest functional enzymes (not likely) heating up a Protein shake is totally fine.

Thanks! I had read that but wasn't sure if the last part pertained to us. I love my Premier Protein shakes with my coffee and a little sf caramel machiatto (mispelled) in it. I heat it in the microwave and wasn't sure if it ruined the Protein. I know Injury says we can't heat protein up past 130 but I wander if that ruins the consistency of the product and not the protein. :)

I body building site said no higher then 100....the 110 kills the enzymes but not the Protein.....That's what I read and the guy is a nutritionist....

You're right, it may glob up the consistency, but not destroy the protein. It's like cooking an egg....the consistency changes but the protein is still there.

I am going to make a cup now and see what it heats up to. I heated it for 90 seconds and it went to 150 so maybe I should back it down to a minute. But it make sense that you can cook meat and eggs and still have Protein.

Kindle is right. Heating changes the texture but not the amount or quality of the Protein. I have reheated my coffee with a shake added and it get these lumps in it. It's yucky, but it wont hurt you or decrease the amount of Protein.

Thanks for the reply! I usually add ready to drink shakes to my coffee so I have never had any lumps but it's good to know I am still getting my protein. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
