I really enjoy hot chocolate, and I have chocolate protein powder. If I mix it with some water and microwave it until it's pretty hot for post-workout boost, will it affect or hurt the protein in some way? I googled it and got conflicting opinions; apparently it denatures it but this might or might not be bad?
Apparently the idea of hot drinks after workouts is gross to alot of people but i love hot chocolate and hot tea!
Thanks guys =]

I am not sure if nuking hurts the protein but I only micro the water for my hot tea or hot chocolate and then add the protein. I think the powder mixes better this way and it tastes great.0

Heat does affect it, I would add it after nuking the water. I don't think it will matter in the long run, it's not all going to degrade that quickly0
