Why no hot water??

[looby]

Just wondered, is the only reason you can't add hot water to the shakes/soups because they could explode in the shaker or is it because it does something to the make up or nutritional value of them? X

By hot I mean basically boiling water

It's ruins the vitamins and minerals in the powder.. Basically scorches them x

Ahhh I wondered this too D: How long after boiling should you let the water stand before mixing? I left it about 2 minutes and it was hot but not boiling, would this be okay? :3

I put some cold water in my shaker then top it up with boiling water. Soup is then warm enough to eat but it doesn't ruin the nutrients

Oooh, that's a good idea! I don't have a shaker but i mix them in a jug, so that'll still work Thankyou!

You're welcome I do the same for the mint chocolate shake, but with a bit more water than the soups, so it tastes just like a normal hot chocolate. It's lovely to have in the evening about an hour before bed!

That's an awesome idea too I'll try that sometime, heheh. My CDC said she's going to order a whole box of mint chocs just for me, heheheh I tried the cold/boiling water method earlier, it worked really well, thank you
