                                Protein shakes containing pure whey, especially whey isolate, are more likely to create foam when mixed due to fewer added thickeners. If you've ever wondered, "Why is my protein shake all bubbly?", the answer lies in a combination of protein structure, mixing method, and even the temperature of your liquid.
