Can you just add these to a protein shake raw in a blender without cooking or soaking them...?

We have not tried that. They are very hard unless soaked. They are pretty small, however.

I doubt it. They are much larger than flax seeds or chia, and hard as a rock!

Ok, here is my third attempt to answer this as my phone is having problems. I've used it in cold recipes like pudding, mostly protein shakes. I imagine you can stir it into foods that are hot, but am not sure what would happen if you baked it like in a cupcake. However, there are unflavored proteins you can stir into soups, stews, etc.

Yes, they are raw. You don't need to cook them, they are great eaten raw. They are at their best eaten raw after overnight soaking in water.

Yeah. I mix it with my protein shakes but have used plain water as well. Both work fine.

No, you cannot. You do not have to use this particular recovery drink, but it does need to be a recovery drink. They are designed to replenish & repair your muscles faster with all you burn in a hard workout. A plain whey protein does not do that. You will get better results & be less sore with a recovery drink.

By itself, but I don't see why you couldn't add it to a smoothie. It's probably really good in a smoothie. It's also good by itself.

I put two tablespoons of flax seed in my protein shakes and it pulverizes them. I have also put oat meal in as well with similar results. Without liquid, I have never tried.

Yes, but most people typically use an ounce of protein powder per serving. These capsules hold between 400 mg - 800 mg. That would be a lot of capsules for a 1 ounce serving of protein. That would be a lot of work to put the protein in the capsules just for 1 serving...it would be much easier just to drink the protein as a beverage.!!!

I have not done that yet. You may want to try it first. I do use these a lot, I just never froze them. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

No, I just put them right into a smoothie. Blends right in and adds a nice green tea flavor.

Yes, I froze it all the time, in small servings. It does mess with the consistency a bit; I was blending it in smoothies and it wasn't a problem.

Maybe try doing 1/2 a scoop twice per day instead of 1 full scoop to dilute the taste and texture more. I personally put mine into my raw protein shake every morning with fresh fruit blend it in my blender and you can barely taste it. I hope this helps you out a bit... It's awesome stuff don't give up just try some different ways to make it work. I have noticed a huge difference since taking this product I highly recommend it!!!

You can but I do not think it will be flavorful. This flavorless protein powder has an unknown flavor.

I don't think so, I would think you would need the heat to dissolve the freeze dried pieces. However, I have never tried so I don't know for sure. Perhaps it would take a much longer time, but could work?

Yes you can if you use the protein shakes in place of a meal. I use two scoops of protein powder with Almond Milk in a shaker cup for breakfast. It is also good post work out.

Yes, you can mix it up in advance. In fact, if you are not mixing it up at least 2 hours in advance, you are getting an inferior tasting shake. It takes that long for the powder to actually dissolve.

If you start with warm water and shake them, then put it in the fridge would probably be best. But, yes, I imagine you can since they melt on your tongue.
