So, keep reading because I am sharing with you some articles on my favorite delicious drinks for the holidays.
When it’s cold outside, it’s only natural to want to know if you can prepare your shakes warm or hot to stay consistent on your Isagenix plan.
A warm IsaLean Shake is great as a creamy, hot alternative to sugar- or calorie-laden hot cocoa or coffee drinks.
So, can IsaLean Shake be made warm or hot? The answer is yes!
Of course, drinking your IsaLean Shake warm is completely fine and a great option to have on winter days. However, there are a few important things to remember when you’re preparing a warm IsaLean Shake.
Most importantly, Don’t Overheat Your Shake!
There’s a fine line between hot and too hot when preparing IsaLean Shakes. Water that’s heated to no more than 150 degrees Fahrenheit will work best. Without a thermometer, try warming the water in a microwave for about 45 to 60 seconds or heat water on the stove and test with your finger to reach the ideal temperature.
If you use hotter water, the protein and enzymes will very likely become denatured, and some of the starches used in the product will begin to gelatinize. Then, the result could be a shake that’s curdled and sticky. In addition, some of the vitamins—specifically the B vitamins like folic acid—will be lost in the heating process.
Equally important is How to Prepare Your IsaLean Shake Warm
The best way to make a warm shake is to heat up your water or milk first—such as in a kettle or the microwave for about a minute. Next, combine the warm liquid with the IsaLean Shake in a shaker bottle and shake it with the whisk ball until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
Be mindful when opening the shaker bottle, as the liquid may spray out. You might find that it’s best to open the bottle slowly. In the absence of a shaker bottle, a suitable option is to use a tall glass or mug and stir in the shake using a whisk or fork.
