Mix one 30 g scoop of Paleo Protein into 12 to 16 oz of water or another drink, then shake or blend it. That's the instruction printed on the back of the bag. Use the 12 oz end for a thicker shake and the 16 oz end for something lighter you can drink in a few minutes.

Shaker or blender?
Either works. A shaker cup is fine for water and a scoop. Use a blender when you're adding fruit, ice or nut butter, or when you want it thick. The sunflower lecithin on the ingredient list is there to help the powder mix in instead of floating.
Does Paleo Protein work in coffee?
Yes. Our product page suggests a scoop in your morning coffee, and Aztec Vanilla or Ancient Cacao give you a flavored coffee without a separate creamer. Hot coffee is where most powders give people trouble, so read our guide to protein powder in coffee before your first cup.
Milk, smoothies and baking
Milk works and makes it richer. It also adds dairy, so if you chose Paleo Protein to stay dairy-free, stick with water, coffee or a non-dairy drink. For smoothies and baking, Plain Naked is the bag to use. It has no sweetener or flavoring, so it won't push vanilla or chocolate into a recipe that didn't ask for it.
