I've tried searching for an answer without much luck, and I don't see anything about it on the canister. I have Protocol brand unflavored whey protein isolate, is it still effective if I add it to hot beverages/foods? Thanks!

Do you mean does heating it somehow make the protein go away?  No.  If you heat eggs, or milk, or meat, the protein doesn't go away, right?

However, if you put protein powder into a really hot liquid, it will make icky clumps.  The way to avoid that is to use a couple ounces of cold or room temp liquid, add the protein powder to that, and stir until it's like a smooth paste.  Then stir that into the hot liquid.

The temperature of the liquid must not exceed 140 degrees or any protein will clump.  A food thermometer helps.  You get a warm drink/food, but not at 140. (Water boils at 212 degrees)

I mix a little of the warm liquid into the powder to make a slurry (dissolving the powder), then slowly stir in the rest of the fluid.

There is a protein powder that is mocha flavored with caffeine. It heats well if you do as the others suggested...It is higher in sugar than I like. Bariwise has a mocha and other flavors without caffeine and it warms well also.

I mix sugar-free hot chocolate that has 20 caloires and when it cools a bit I add about two tablespoons of Isopure unflavored protein.I do add another splenda to make it taster a little better.But I do really like it.

What brand of  unflavored protein is good? Does it have taste at all?

Nature's Best Isopure Unflavored (Zero Carb), 3-Pound Tub by Nature's Best it does taste but you can hide it in the hot chocolate. I would go to one of the vitamin places and ask for samples.I am sure if you look in the search engine I am sure there is so many products out there I bought it and I have to use it.good luck
