Powder Blend
For Reconstitution (per serving)
Method
Powder Blend
Prepare workspace and equipment
Clean and dry a mixing bowl, scale or measuring cups, a fine sieve, and an airtight container (glass jar or food‑grade plastic). Ensure all equipment is dry to prevent clumping or spoilage.
Weigh and measure dry ingredients
Measure each dry ingredient precisely: 1 cup grass‑fed beef protein isolate, 1/4 cup collagen peptides, 1/2 cup instant dry milk (if using), 1/4 cup maltodextrin (if using), 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, 1 tsp natural beef flavor or bouillon powder, 1/4 tsp ground white pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/8 tsp citric acid (optional), and 1/4 tsp food‑grade silica (optional).
Combine and sift
Place measured powders into the mixing bowl. Sift the mixture through a fine sieve into a second clean bowl to break up any lumps and ensure even distribution of seasonings and flow agents. If you don't have a sieve, whisk vigorously for 2–3 minutes to thoroughly combine.
Blend for homogeneity
For best results, transfer the sifted mixture to a dry, clean blender or small food processor and pulse for 10–15 seconds to uniformly distribute finer components (avoid heating). Alternatively, use a dry immersion blender briefly. Return to the bowl and give one last whisk.
Adjust seasoning
Taste a 1/4‑teaspoon reconstituted sample (mix 1/4 tsp powder with ~1/2 tsp warm water) to check seasoning. If needed, add up to 1/4 tsp more salt or 1/4 tsp more beef flavoring, then reblend or whisk to incorporate.
Package and store
Transfer the finished powder to an airtight container, remove as much air as possible, and seal. Label with contents and date. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Use within 3–6 months for best quality. If silica was omitted, use within 2–3 months and keep strictly dry.
For Reconstitution (per serving)
Measure 2 heaping tablespoons (about 20–25 g; approximate single serving from the blend) of the powder into a cup.
Whisk vigorously with a small whisk or use a handheld frother for 10–20 seconds until fully dissolved and smooth. Let sit 30–60 seconds to reduce foam, then whisk again briefly.
Adjust flavor: add a squeeze of lemon or a few drops of Worcestershire sauce for a savory note, or add extra salt to taste.
Serve immediately as a savory protein beverage, or incorporate into soups, gravies, or recipes as a powdered beef protein addition. If using in hot cooking, stir powder into warm liquid early and cook gently to integrate.
