Troubleshooting
Protein powder clumps when mixing
Ensure you are using enough liquid and blend thoroughly. Using a shaker bottle with a whisk ball or a blender can help break up clumps. Adding the powder to the liquid first may also improve mixing.
Taste is not as expected
Adjust the serving size or mix with other ingredients like fruits, vegetables, or spices to enhance the flavor. Experiment with different liquid bases (e.g., oat milk, coconut water).
Difficulty measuring serving size without a scoop
Use standard kitchen measuring spoons (e.g., tablespoon, ¼ cup) to approximate the serving size. Refer to the product packaging for recommended serving size details.
