Hot protein?

I am a vegetarian and supplement my diet with protein shakes. I do low calorie high protein mixes and add volume with shaved ice. However with the colder weather I looking to experiment with warm or hot protein shakes. Does a anyone have some insight or advice to making shakes to help warm me up?

I don't think our blenders can handle anything hot. They're plastic.0

This blender makes hot soups/shakes or whatever. Not sure if it's what you're after but it's a start.

My first thoughts go to the cream and pureed soups. I'd add hot spices too.0

I was making a chocolate protein smoothie one day and I always mix mine with ice coffee, but that day I didn't want to wait for my coffee to cool down, so i made it hot. It was good. I added in a tablespoon of chocolate baking powder and a splash of milk and it was like a thick warm cup of cocoa.0

My blender bottle has no problem holding warm shakes. I blast the milk in the microwave for 1 minute in a normal cup, pour in to my bottle, add the powder and shake. Tastes like hot chocolate, lovely!
My shaker cup is a Met rx one.0 -
I bought mocha cappuccino whey to use as coffee creamer. It tastes great, but the only drawback is the coffee can't be super hot when you mix it or the whey turns into these nasty little pulp bits that rise to the top.0

I might be wrong about this, but I thought I read somewhere that you shouldn't use whey protein hot..supposedly the heat does something to it and you don't end up getting the protein you think you are. Does anyone know more about this?0 -

It's no different than denaturing (aka cooking) eggs, fish, chicken, etc. You are essentially cooking the whey. The protein content is the same. The taste......not so much.0 -

Ah, okay. Thanks for clearing that up for me.0 -
I've had success mixing a scoop of protein into hot oatmeal. I do 1/3 cup oats and 8 oz. almond milk, then once the oatmeal's cooked I stir in the powder. I use casein, though; I'm not sure how vegetable protein's texture would be. You might not need as much liquid (casein mixes pretty thick on its own.)0

One of the most common misconceptions about protein shakes is that you have to blend them with ice, fruit, and other ingredients.
99.9% of active adults who are educated about protein shakes drink them with either milk, a milk substitute, or water.
2 ingredients... That's it.
Hot or warm protein shakes sounds awful by the way.0 -

Water, protein mix, and maybe some ice if it's warm out. Occasionally I'll add in some PB2 for a change up but that's about it.0 -
I am an active adult and I am educated about protein, but I prefer mine mixed with stuff because they taste pretty blah otherwise.
I guess i'm one of the .1 percent, then. 0 -
Hot protein? Is that what you drink after taking hot yoga?0

Could you mix protein powder with water/almond milk and throw it in the microwave for a few seconds? Using the liquid for oatmeal? I don't know what temperature the protein within the shake would denature at.0

I do this too. I've also added it to coffee.0 -

You might just be buying crap protein powder brands. All the ones that I've bought have tasted great...even in plain water and I'm a chef with a decent palate.

I add vanilla flavored vegan protein shakes to puree root vegetables. Rutabaga and vanilla is a great flavor combination.0

Coffee? Hot chocolate?0

I mix casein powder with coffee. Just stir or use a mini whisk. I like it.
ETA: I tried whey and it was not good.0 -

i prefer to mix mine with green tea and strawberries. It's just my taste. Either that or coffee and chocolate.0 -

I actually add plain gelatin to my coffee. It takes a bit to dissolve, but you can't tell it's there.

You want a hot, sweet beverage? I can't help with that, but for something light and savoury, would go for miso soup with more tofu than usual, or a bit of egg, if you eat eggs. For something heavier, would go for chili.
What about a protein bar with a regular coffee?0 -
The "upscale" blenders can do that -- pay more and you get more
Also consider an Immersion Blender. 0 -
Wow! Thank you guys so much. I add ice for volume so I will try adding either plain gelatin or warm almond milk. All the feedback is appreciated.0
