heating up whey protein?
Anything over 140 degress changes the structure of the protein and makes it awful. I use a temperature thermometer to make sure what I'm mixing it with isn't over 140 degrees.

I too have heard 140 is the magic number so cooking your soup first and then waiting until it cools to 140 to add your protein is a better way to go. Another thing someone told me but I have yet to try is to mix the protein with just enough room temp water to 'disolve' it and THEN add it to a hot beverage or soup. I haven't tried it yet (I live in So Cal and we have been having a warm winter) but it may be worth a try :)
I used to heat up chicken broth in the microwave, then I used a kitchen thermometer to make use it was less than 140 degrees. After is cooled to a good spot I mixed in the chicken flavored Unjury protein powder. Never had any problems with that method.

I found a magic trick.
Blend protein in small amount of room temp liquid.
Then I use an immersion or stick blender while adding the ho****er
I make protein coffee like this every day. I can hea****er to boiling and as long as I mix it constantly while adding the water I get no nastiness.
I can't remember who gave me the idea but I read it here somewhere and it works like a charm
