- ✓For protein smoothies, blend frozen ingredients first for 30 seconds, then add protein powder and blend for only 15-20 seconds more to prevent denaturing whey proteins which creates chalky texture.timing30 seconds + 15-20 seconds
- ✓When baking with protein powder, replace up to 25% of flour with protein powder and increase liquid by 2-3 tablespoons per scoop because protein powder absorbs 40% more moisture than flour.technique25% replacement + 40% more moisture
