Yesterday morning, as part of my attempt to limit caffeine leading up to a weekend full of races, I decided to have warm milk. Often, I just sweeten it a bit with agave nectar and go. Sometimes I splurge and make hot chocolate. Yesterday, I split the difference and went for a warm hot chocolatey-protein drink. Warm milk plus a couple scoops of the Luna Recovery Protein Smoothie (Chocolate!) that I like so much mixed with cold milk. Like most powdered protein mixes, the Luna stuff is recalcitrant about going into solution and often leaves chunks of sugar/mix floating on the surface.
So I thought nothing of it on my drive to work, during which I struggled to get a few drips of my concoction out of my travel mug. A bit of extra swirling did the trick, clearly (in my head anyway) chunks of mix were just blocking access to the morning's treat. Little did I know... after getting to work, I whipped out a spoon to mix vigorously again. Only to discover that what was in my mug resembled something more like a thick, brown cottage cheese than hot chocolate. Something in the Luna drink plus warm milk catalyzes some kind of curdling reaction. Trust me, I will not try that again.
