How to Mix and Enjoy Elite Series Plant Protein

Quick Answer

For the smoothest Elite Series plant protein shake, start with cold liquid in a shaker bottle, add one scoop of powder, seal tightly, and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds. Let it rest for a minute before drinking to reduce foam.

Step-by-Step Mixing Guide

1. Choose Your Liquid and Container: Use cold water, plant-based milk, or dairy milk. Fill a shaker bottle with 8-12 oz (240-360 ml) of liquid. Cold liquid helps reduce clumping. Avoid warm or hot liquids—they can cause the protein to denature and form lumps.
2. Add the Powder Correctly: Add one scoop of Elite Series powder to the liquid, not the other way around. This prevents powder from sticking to the bottom of the shaker. Always add powder after liquid to avoid a sticky base that won't mix evenly.
3. Seal and Shake Vigorously: Close the shaker lid tightly. Shake hard for 20-30 seconds, using a side-to-side motion. If your shaker has a mixing ball or grid, it helps break up clumps. A common mistake is shaking too gently—vigorous shaking is key to a smooth texture.
4. Let It Rest and Enjoy: After shaking, let the shake sit for 1-2 minutes. This allows foam to settle and any remaining small clumps to dissolve. Stir gently if needed. Drinking immediately can result in a frothy texture. A short rest improves mouthfeel.
