Care of plant protein powder?

Plant protein powder is gaining popularity across the globe. Whether you are looking to build muscle or seeking to boost your daily protein intake, plant-based powders can be an excellent addition to your diet. With growing concerns over meat consumption’s environmental impact, more people are now turning towards vegan proteins as part of their fitness regime.

However, like any other supplement, it requires proper care and handling for optimal benefits. If you’re someone who wants to ensure your plant-protein-powder stays fresh and effective from day one until its last scoop yet with negligible strain on the planet earth at large (and also doesn’t want mini-plants sprouting out of Storage), then this guide is for YOU!

Store It Right

Storing plant protein powder correctly is essential in preserving its shelf life and ensuring that it remains effective. Following these tips will keep it fresh longer:

Stay Cool And Dry

Plant protein powder should always be kept in a cool, dry place – away from heat sources such as sunlight or stoves/hobs (That would turn it into shake anyway!). Exposing the powder to moisture could lead to clumping or spoilage due to mold growth (Eww).

Keep It Sealed

The packaging must also be air-tight sealed after every use (who knew just twisting back up that packet could have so much power!). If left open continuously before usage can speed up oxidization ruining taste while compromising the nutritional value[1].

Avoid Freezing Temperatures

Would saving some cents by buying enough amount discounting unit costs worth losing taste? Nay!!! No matter how chilly/frosty winter mornings make you feel about ‘freezing’ anything possible! Stored at freezing temperatures affects soy products’ texture says Monica Reinagel[]. This goes not only for milk-type products but also for meat substitutes or powders made from soy.

Mix Up Your Storage Containers

Consider decanting your plant protein powder into smaller containers such as mason jars, glass jars or sealing vacuum bags after opening it. This minimizes exposure to the atmosphere which can degrade potency over time while decreasing shelf life [2].

And when we’re discussing decantation, can I get a shout out for how luxurious and futuristic that name sounds (Elevator music starts playing). . It is like we are handling something so fancy and upscale like old-wine bottles [burp].

Measure With Care

Make sure you measure carefully! Scooping protein straight from the container may cause inconsistencies in taste, texture, or nutrition level produced [‘yuck’ at people scooping with dirty spoons]. Also avoid tapping your scoop too hard against the side of the jar/box/[place-holder] to shake off extra flour, reducing ‘weight’ or more accurately amount consumed won’t affect only consistency but also precision when measuring[discuss an experiment on this experience]. Therefore always use good-quality cups/scoops as provided if original packaging isn’t tampered with beforehand.

If you notice any clumping when preparing/shaking it up then try giving it a sift through some sieve first before throwing away everything in there though wouldn’t recommend repeatedly sifting because of fine particles getting lost leading to lesser yield than should have been possible(isn’t math fun!)!.

Consider Quick Pre-Mix Options

While making every drink fresh each day might require a significant time investment depending on daily routines (not me) – instead consider saving time by pre-mixing individual portions in re-usable storage bags[3], two-level portable blender(Hurray!), Tupperware (cookie-cutter shapes!), freezer safe bottle(s)- prioritizing choices catering health benefits and recycling ethics(to be covered ahead!!). This allows you to quickly prepare a nutritious shake or smoothie anytime, anywhere.

Similar quick options include vegetable fruits (freeze-dried eg. blueberries), yogurt drops (frozen pieces of greek yoghurt) even having pre-powder mixed with your favorite milk maybe an option for ready-to-go at once!

Here’s Pro-tip, save up empty containers(possibly glass/plastic containers meant to be tossed in the trash as waste!) and repurpose these jars/containers (effective recycling!)for keeping aside snacks on-the-go like carrot sticks, unsalted nuts while carrying previously mentioned re-usable bags etc.! It looks chic too!!

Use The Right Tools

The tools used during preparation can play a significant role in retaining fresh taste, texture consistency along-with preserving valuable nutrients. Some essentials are:

Blender bottles/Shakers

A blender bottle is perfect for shaking together powders effectively without causing damage such as clumping visible with normal shaker cups or regular drinks flasks containing weak vortex strength which leads to incorrect mixing ratios – this inaccuracy sets-in when making it vital to own specialized athletic-grade products[ “serious-business-type “] provided by titans only selling genuine quality proving they believe energy should not be compromised[$].” Whilst traveling also consider special lightweight expandable storage bag looking just like ordinary water bottles but lo behold its tricks[![].

Also avoid vigorously stirring using cutlery within acrylic/metal bowls that may scratch surfaces/warp amino-acids composition undermining efforts made so far [oh-noes].

When buying equipment reviewing best types for different combinations also helps before purchasing according to usage under-slowly-filling-saving-budget!!

Mixing With Liquid Ain’t Hard!…

While adding powder always liquid initially instead of other way round (We will not let fancy pouring flaunts get our counter messy)(Pfft). Powder poured atop the iced-out ingredients don’t mix easily compared to liquids poured on already placed protein [Evidence proves it] further ensuring lesser possibility of having remaining unmixed lumps sticking together is just as important.

The Environment Matters

While preparing delicious plant-based powders, reducing one’s carbon footprint should be an essential consideration for health enthusiasts. Striving towards eco-friendly options can aid in making a noticeable impact:

Look For Sustainable Brands

By choosing environmentally friendly and responsible brands which uphold residue-free manufacturing processes from testing to packaging along with operating mindful initiatives protecting the planet where you live-in[“Green-acknowledgement”🌱emoji].

Organic operations without genetic modifications (Non-GMO) could also ensure no unwanted additives like preservatives or synthetic flavors are part of your carefully crafted shakes. Defending habitats + biodiversity fighting off pesky issues including social justice (plant workers’ rights may get understated more often than not!), soil quality improvement ensures maximum retention of nutrients available within our reach too[![sun]{width=”50″ height=”50″}]. [Now we don’t have that guilty feeling of indulging while costing Mother Nature her future!!]

Say No To Single-Use Packaging

When buying supplements or related tools try looking for a company supporting minimization efforts by selling or renting items(such as Blenders, Cups for Portion Control(with unique labeling perhaps?)Plant Alternatives energy bars and gels influencing well-being subtly taking you away from single-use wraps/packets (STOP ABUSE!). Instead going back to point earlier favor refillable bags/containers – this will reduce waste AND save costs in long run! [Won’t cost us Earth anymore!]

Consider bulk-buying when possible; collaborative efforts yield better pricing support production increasing availability therefore hastening product consumption cycle/circuit thereby gradually eliminnating supply shortages(if any).

In Conclusion,

Though simple steps mentioned here today applying surprisingly make a lot of difference in how to use nontoxic organic plant protein powders effectively without any damage, keeping it tasty and preventing spoilage over time (‘ewws’ sparingly used). We need not constrain ourselves from novel options/trends evolving all the while when finding sustainable alternate ways making positive change is as easy as grabbing something eco-friendly!
