Premier Protein- HOT!

[kcadoret 81]

Hi all

I'm wondering if it's ok (from a nutritional perspective) to heat the Premier Protein shakes. I rather miss hot chocolate and think this could be a nice replacement.

Thanks in advance

I can't answer your specific question about Premier but I have Protein hot chocolate that is good. I got several varieties from Bariatric Choice. One brand is ProtiDiet.

Thanks for the tip Inner Surfer Girl!

That looks delicious, if not a bit expensive...

I used to worry about the expense of some of this stuff. Ultimately, I find that I eat so little, that anything is affordable. So I decided to concentrate on eating well rather than what I was spending. good luck.

I don't see why you can't try it. I use Premier Protein as Creamer in my coffee which comes out of my Keurig at 190 degrees. I also make my own hot chocolate Protein powder....powdered skim milk, Syntrax vanilla Protein Powder, Unjury unflavored protein powder, Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa and Monk Fruit sweetener to taste. Just add hot Water. Mmmmmmm. And a bit of Torani almond Syrup makes it Mmmmmm Mmmmmmm.

@@wildGoose That's a very good point! I remember thinking about that before surgery and being excited to focus on quality, it's rather silly that I've already forgotten

@@Kindle that does sound good, and fun to make! I like the ability to tinker with recipes and make my own products

Thanks all I was worried when my doctor told us pre op not to heat our optimist as it destroyed the Protein or something. I'm going to heat away with a clear conscious

Heat doesn't destroy the Protein, but it may change the texture and make it gel or clump. Like what happens when you cook an egg. Or raw steak vs rare vs well done.
