What should I do if my protein powder will not completely disperse?Updated a year ago

We have found that adding the protein into the water usually solves dispersion problems. Adding to a shaker cup or hand blender will usually solve any dispersion issues. Whey based protein powders contain fat molecules and protein molecules that repel and attract water or moisture. This tug of war between fat and protein can make dispersion difficult at times because slight variations in moisture can change the product's functionality or dispersion. Rest assured, the product is perfectly safe and potent even when dispersion is difficult - it usually means the product was not stored optimally, in a cool dry place, and some moisture migration has taken place. This is a common occurrence in all whey based protein powders.

Here are a some techniques that can remedy dispersion hassles:

• A blender is the clear winner to a smooth shake.  Simply add everything and blend.
• A shaker bottle is the 2nd best approach and requires minimal clean up and no energy. Find a shaker bottle which includes a blender ball to easily break up any clumps. The best approach is to add the liquid first followed by the powder and then shake, shake, shake.
