                                While a spoon can technically mix protein powder, it's rarely effective, leaving behind unappetizing clumps. This happens because protein molecules, especially those in fast-absorbing whey, are difficult to fully hydrate without the shear force generated by a more effective mixing tool. For a smooth and delicious shake, most people find a spoon is not the ideal tool when asking, "Can I just mix protein powder with spoon?".
