What do you do with Unflavored protein powder?

I just got some protein powders to try, and the multipack I received has an unflavored one in there. What the heck do you add that to? Soups? Just curious what other people have done with it? Thanks!
I use unflavored protein because the flavored ones taste too sweet to me. I use one serving scoop, 3 heaping teaspoons of decafe/sugar free vanilla instant coffee, 1 cup of skim milk and about 5 ice cubes... whirl it in my twister blender until it's a smoothie consistency... if you like those expensive coffee drinks you will love this!
The unflavored protein powder I used could withstand high temperatures. I took 1/3 scoop and chicken bullion and made hot broth with protein. Sometimes I would add a drop of sesame oil to flavor it up. Each cup provided 8 grams of protein. Post op I was lactose intolerant for a period of time, and all protein shakes made me very nauseous. I lived on that broth for quite a while until I found a shake I could drink.
I use the unflavored all the time (daily) I mix 2 scoops of Unjury unflavored protein in 16 ounces of Crystal Lite pink lemonade flavor & I drink half in the morning & half in the afternoon as my "snack". You could put it into any of the Crystal lite flavors, I just find I like the pink lemonade best.
I just started getting back to the flavored proteins (vanilla & chocolate) but I find those so much "thicker" and "heavier" - the unflavored is great to use in warmer weather too, with the Crystal lite, as it is more "refreshing" isnt so "milky" to me.
