Weird question - protein powder in hot water?

AsellusReborn

So I've been experimenting with protein powder - Pure Protein from Target. In milk it's great, tastes like rich chocolate milk - same in almond milk. In cold water is was blech! But the taste reminded me of hot chocolate that's gone cold (instant mix in water) - and it got me thinking...if I mixed it in with hot water, I have a feeling it might be a lot like hot chocolate. (It might be terrible - but I'm willing to risk it just once!) I wanted to see - has anyone else done this? Will it...I dunno - damage the protein in the powder? Or is this a bit of diabolical genius?

I use vanilla protein in my coffee or tea instead of cream and sugar. so much better than Starbucks and a lot cheaper!
I like chocolate in my coffee - yum mocha!

Yeah, I mix mine with half hot water and half milk + a bit of extra cocoa and sweetener then microwave - makes it go down a bit easier

Oh good. I'll try some "hot chocolate" tonight then

Some brands clump horribly in hot water. Not sure exactly why they do that so you may want to experiment with a small amount first to figure out how it mixes best. I make "mochas" frequently with the chocolate muscle milk.

This. I tried to make a 'hot chocolate' using Isopure natural protein powder and I ended up with the most disgusting thing in the world as it became a huge clumpy mess.
