Milk Isolate Problems

**Pirate!** · 08-29-2004, 07:25 PM

I recently bought a twenty-pounder of Milk Isolate from Blackstarlabs.com. This stuff is extremely difficult to mix. If I shake it enough for it to be be suspended in the water, much of it turns to froth so thick you need a spoon to get it out of the shaker. Even then, it is gritty. I know casein doesn't mix as well as whey, but are all milk isolate powders like this? It is such a hassle.

Any insight is appreciated.

I have a 50/50 blend of milk protein isolate/micellar casein (from Trueprotein.com) and it's exactly as you describe. I have to use an electric hand blender to make a drinkable - a spoon isn't up to the job.

milk isolates from the protein factory do not get foamy...it's the only one I use

Electric mixer or stop twirling the spoon like such a pussy.

Just how broken down are the isolates in these drinks?

I have been buying GNC soy protein mixes made with soy isolates. When something is broken into an isolate isn't it almost pure protein at that point with little reference left in it's structure about where it's from? I just say that because I still seem to have problems taking whey protein (it makes me sick to my stomach) but I was curious about caseinate as a calcium source.

I don't stir it with a spoon, thank you. I shake it like you would you shake a baby if God trusted you with one.

It should be harder to stir than whey, but you should be able to stir it.
