I have never had that problem. I do however make sure I shake any premixed drink well to be sure that everything is blended well before I drink it. You can also try Pure Protein in the can.

This is unrefined, so it may have some lumps in it. And it shouldn't be 'creamy' - it should be relatively firm, to where you have dig some of it out and rub it on your warm skin to get it creamy like butter. You rub the lumps just like the rest and it should become buttery.

Patricia, I bought these straws thinking the same thing. What I found out was,,,they were a little too large in diameter. It took alot of effort to get the milk shake up to your mouth thru the straw because of the size. Sonic used to have the perfect size for milkshakes, but recently, they have started using a smaller straw which doesn't work at all. If you can find one a little smaller than the one you're looking at, you'll be better off. Bob

Mine was smooth but when I took the lid off it cracked and chunks of hard plastic went everywhere. I just bagged it to keep it from getting dry. I make creams and as I used my last batch it got clumpy and crumbly but performed just as well.

Sorry you had this experience. I use regular fresh skimmed milk (or any type of cow's milk from the store dairy section) then after warming the milk a little on medium to heat, I add the powder and whisk the mixture occassionally. Lowering the heat, I continue to stir or whisk the mixture if necessary and let it come to a low boil. At that point it's done. I've always experienced scortching on the bottom but that's part of the beauty of the pudding - take it off the heat and let it cool or eat right away. I usually can't wait.

Try pushing the straw in deeper. It happens to me when I take it apart to wash and don't put it back together properly. Hope it helps

Hi, Melanie: I cannot remember how many years I have been drinking my MonaVie every morning before breakfast. Lumps? Normal? I really do not know. I do know that it helps to shake (vigorously) before each opening. I have a nephew (paraplegic) who uses this daily, whenever he needs a pick-me-up. Lumps? Just small occasional ones ... so, maybe, they are part of the juice. So, truthfully? Yes there are but since I am 82 and still getting up each morning to have a shotglass full, guess they are normal. Hope this helped.

I got mine a couple months ago and it was broken up chunks as well. That was my first time buying this product, so I don't know how the texture was before. But yes, mine was broken chunks too.

My chocolate pb2 was initially like that, but once I got the package opened and started using it, I was able to break it up and it was powder. It had more lumps than the regular pb2, but just needed a bit of kneading. If this is not the case with yours, you may contact bell plantation. They appear to be interested in creating a quality product and would likely want to replace your rock with a new package.

I had some luck with textures- but also some trouble. It really depends. Most everything went in fine, but not always out easily. My oatmeal was fine- but it was also puréed with fruit, which helps. I had a ground turkey/peas/carrots combo that gave me trouble. In the end, the clogs weren't bad thru the spout, but much more difficult while using the spoon attachment. I loved the system so much for storage, that in the end, if there was a major clog, I'd just cut off the top and spoon feed from the pouch.

it's slightly gritty if you don't use a good blender. Personally, I wouldn't give children protein supplements, I would give them whole foods.

I actually mix mine with ground flaxseed (1/1 ratio) and that makes it much less chunky. The only other recommendation I can give is, use more water, stir heavily and chug it right away. The longer you leave it the thicker it becomes.

it was in liquid form.didnt notice any fiber when drinking the liquid.didnt really look at the liquid either.hope that answers your questions.

well I've had the same problem with sediment, after taking the old fashioned coffee filters and cutting out tiny circles for the bottom of the k-cup personal thing...that worked great, but who has time to cut the darned things out?? Not me, I just don't drink the final couple of sips!!! ;)

Not very well. It gets lumpy. These egg whites work best for me as an addition to my morning fruit smoothie. It's pure protein, so add a banana, some orange or pineapple juice and you have a quality breakfast drink.

Oatmeal, no problem. Star pasta(like Campbell's chicken and stars soup) sure. The are that it must fit through is about the size of a McDonalds milkshake straw, so if your fruit or veg is relatively soft and could fit through that sized opening, then it should be able to come through this ok. I wouldn't want the chunks to be solid enough to pose a choking hazard though--even an adult could get an unwelcome surprise sucking a green pea through a short straw right? So I would go with at least a "mashed" consistency, not a "chopped" texture if you get my meaning.

This protein powder isn't chalky, but it does have a little grit. It wasn't bad though. Mixing it in a shaker bottle with almond milk and crushed ice helped with texture. I considered adding it to a smoothie to hide the texture in with the banana and strawberries. Didn't get around to it.
