So i just found out DO NOT REHEAT SOUP AFTER YOU'VE ADDED PROTEIN POWDER. i add my protein powder after heating up my soup but then it got cold so i put it back in the microwave and when i opened to door it had boiled over and became really thick.

just thought i would put this out there as an FYI lol

protein congeals with heat. (think of how an egg white reacts)

I've done that before too! Everything gets cold while we're eating it these days! LOL I didn't have a problem though. But it was only 20 sec or so.

Thanks for the tip! I'm just getting used to eating only a few bites or sips of hot food now. I sort of knew this, but forgot about it!

So... If you boil some water... pour it in a bowl... place your plate over it... it keeps plated food warm.

If you re-heat soup on low (via stove tope) stirring while you heat... you can heat it. Sort of like slow heating cream soup.

As well, adding protein powder to a liquid that is hotter than 130 degrees Fahrenheit can be a disaster as well. I used to heat my soup and use the digital thermometer to check the temperature.
