Questions about Whey protein isolate
How do you mix whey protein isolate without lumps?
Add the powder to cold or room-temperature liquid, rather than pouring liquid onto a heap of powder. Shake in a sealed shaker for about 20 seconds, or whisk it gradually into a smooth paste before adding the rest of the liquid.
Can you mix whey protein isolate into hot coffee?
Yes, but add it gradually: first whisk the powder with a little cold milk or water, then stir that paste into the coffee. Adding it straight to very hot liquid can make it clump.
Can you bake with whey protein isolate?
Yes. Mix it into pancake or muffin batter, but keep some flour in the recipe: replacing all the flour can leave baked goods dry or rubbery. Stir the powder into the dry ingredients before adding the wet ones.
How should you store whey protein isolate?
Keep it tightly sealed in a cool, dry cupboard, away from steam and direct sunlight. Use a dry scoop; moisture can make the powder clump.
Can you use whey protein isolate if you are avoiding lactose?
It usually contains less lactose than whey concentrate, but it is not necessarily lactose-free. The amount can vary, so choose a product specifically labelled lactose-free if you need to avoid lactose.
Is whey protein isolate suitable for people with a milk allergy?
No. It is made from whey, a milk protein, so it is not suitable for someone with a milk allergy; removing most lactose does not remove the milk proteins.
What can you use instead of whey protein isolate in a smoothie?
Soy protein isolate is a useful plant-based alternative with a similarly mild flavour, though it thickens the smoothie differently. Blend it with the liquid first, then add fruit or other ingredients.
