Soda and Protein Drinks

Speaking of mixing, protein powders are not an acceptable substitute for coffee creamer unless you like to stir it the whole time. Seems it likes to float and coagulate at the top??. and ruin your drink.[/quote]

depends on the protein + how hot the coffee is.

Carbonation DOES speed absorption on many things. In fact, if I recall, Power Drive was generally recommended to begin with to be mixed with like Soda water to help aid just that, fwiw. I saw several coaches suggest it here.

I’ve tried that, stirring Power Drive into a glass of seltzer, and it foamed up and overflowed like it was a freshly opened bottle of champagne.

How do you guys successfully (and neatly) stir powders into carbonated drinks? I haven’t quite figured it out yet.

As a related aside, I have noticed that flat Spike Shooters aren’t nearly as potent as when they’re fully carbonated. So yeah, I definitely think there’s something to the concept.

When I am in a rush in the morning i’ll blend a Spike Shooter (quila lime) with vanilla Metabolic Drive and it is pretty damn good.

Well maybe I will try a Spike Shooter with my Grow! Whey.

That might be good.

Currently I mix my Grow! Whey with instant coffee.

I am not a fan of carbonation but then I read what Chris Colucci said about the Spike Shooters.
