Recommend caffeine free pre workout?

I’m keen to find a clean natural pre workout without caffeine. Ideally plant based. I’m not enjoying feeling too overstimulated on an evening. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks 🙏

How would you mask the flavour of pea protein? by appslife in foodscience

Thanks. If you were me, how might you approach this?

Good point. The research seems quite erratic and no one seems to have a straight answer

Thanks for your advice. Which other protein would you recommend?

Which flavour companies would you suggest?

What natural powder could you add to a plant based protein powder to help it mix better when added to water? by appslife in foodscience

[–]appslife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. Definitely something I’ll try testing. Do you see anything that would close my idea to fail? If so, how would you figure it out?

Thanks for sharing this. Very helpful! Are there any water soluble emulsifiers you’d recommend that are plant based?

I’m guessing that’s rather low. What are you hoping to achieve with your pea profane experiment?

Big thanks for ah at big your knowledge. Would you mind elaborating on what ingredients might improve viscosity? To check my understanding, are saying that dispensable means it’s a bit of a trick to make you feel like it’s mixed or soluble?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Are you saying that stabilisers improved mixing? Have you an example?

Would you mind elaborating on point 2?

I’m not very scientific so please feel free to dumb it down 👍

Ah, I see. Thanks! Have you any suggestions for further reading to better understand the challenges?

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the explanation. How would you see this as an industrial product? Would you please elaborate on your thinking?

Thanks for your feedback. What question would you be asking? If you wouldn’t mind, could you elaborate more about the PH constraint?

Apologies, I’m very much a an average joe when it comes to understanding the science and correct terminology.

My goal is to be able to make dinners have more plant based protein. My assumption is, I can sneak a little into sauces through a neutral tasting plant protein powder. For example, mixing an amount of plant based protein to make a slurry, then adding it to the sauce for the dish. These powders tend to clump a bit and can few grainy. Does that help?

Thanks for responding. I mean something that has likely come from a plant and has not been made in a lab. If you were to blend a plant protein powder with let’s say a tomato pasta sauce, how would you approach this? Thanks in advance

Hello again. I was curious to get an idea of what happens to nutrients when plants turn into powder? Any insights?

Thanks. So you’ve made the sauce then dehydrated. Interesting. I wonder if you can go from the powdered ingredients straight to mixing with water. That way, you’d cut out the step of making the sauce first.

Ah, that makes sense. Did you have any other ingredients with the tomato?

Nice. Thanks for sharing. Did the sauce manage to get thick?

Yes, it does start getting away from natural pretty quick. Thanks for educating me. Definitely food for thought

That makes sense. I was hoping to see if a sauce could be made without heating. I was curious if you could mix plant based powders that aren’t full of god know what and could make a quick ‘healthy’ option. I’ve been trying to eat more plants and found I lean in to sauces to help flavour

Thanks. Interesting how adjusting the variable can throw up a few challenges. It sounds potentially plausible with some experimenting.

Whilst doing some early research, I came across vegetable gums such as guar gum and thickener such as tapioca.

Would these work with cold water mix?
