[@kingfilms6228]

I can literally turn almond milk and erythritol into a vanilla shake with this stuff

[@abadplanner1]

Guar gum is better for cold drinks

[@pauldolton9118]

Why is that?

[@BradyAndros]

Great stuff Derek! Fun to go back to your old video recipes and see how far you've come. Keep it up, all your content is great!

[@TheProteinChef]

Thanks Brady

[@bamatina777]

Chia seeds works great to thicken as well. :-)

[@umairusman]

Great idea!

[@franciscocendejas9792]

Xanthan gum is an amazing thickener and it really does go a long way. I bought a small bag like 3 years ago and it doesnt even look used. My favorite thing to use it for is to thicken up sauce for buffalo wings.

[@nandishperiwal7874]

hi, one should use xanthan gum or ghar gum for a thick milkshake, and in what ratio?

[@leonflores9461]

What about arrowroot powder? Would that be a more natural alternative? I tried it when making a frozen banana ice cream, thickened up real nicely. Haven't tried it in runny smoothies, should've today, made two runny smoothies.

[@jasoncatalano8620]

Lifesaver of a tip. Derek dropping those knowledge bombs!

[@vanitanicolas4917]

Going to add it to smoothies and soups.. Wish me luck

[@TheProteinChef]

You got this!!!

[@aayushiasopa4161]

How much quantity should be added for 200 ml milk shake

[@DMariaLR]

Hi, will Xanthan Gum thicken almond milk?

[@TheProteinChef]

Absolutely

[@GCPM]

THICC

[@SaraU_U]

hmm will it make diff I add it when I'm makinng the shake with the powder, the water/milk, or with ice? I used it and I feel like the order you put it in makes a diff sometimes🤔when do you add it?

[@ABCDEFuKnowHowItGoes]

That stuff really gives me tummy aches, I had to stop using is cause it bloated me like crazy

[@mysteretsym]

Small price to pay for thiccness

[@spicystreetsofindia1679]

can i use it in hot drinks like tea or coffee ?

[@Jess_Smith0903]

What isle should that be in? I've never even heard about this but man.... What an AWESOME trick!!

[@TheProteinChef]

Either in the baking or organic section. It is a pretty cool trick!

[@WSaraElizabeth]

It's also good to add to baked goods if you're making things without gluten. I made an awesome low carb pizza crust using coconut flour and almond flour and it wasa huge help to have the xanthum gum as a binder.

[@Jaybird196]

+ImPuntastic Cool idea :) .

[@hazztv6317]

You could use no flavor gelatin

[@mclogan76]

Is it safe to consume?

[@TheProteinChef]

Of course! More than likely you've consumed it a bunch of times already in various food items!

[@queenbchristina3398]

Can I use guar gum instead of the xanthan gum?

[@TheProteinChef]

Sure!

[@eddie195777]

It's a better option since guar gum is non-GMO. Most xanthan gum is made using GMO corn. Xanthan gum is a water-soluble exo-polysaccharide. It is produced industrially from carbon sources by fermentation using the gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas campestris.

[@Joannabanana1989]

I knew you were gonna say xanthan gum! I see a lot of people using it. I had to stop using it due to digestive problems though.

[@Joannabanana1989]

Avocado is my favorite personally!

[@bricknmotor]

I see this is awhile ago but I make skim milk icecubes and throw them right in the blender with my shakes

[@bricknmotor]

Oh peanut butter works great too if you like that flavor.

[@NdidiOguma]

Pls can I put xanthan gum in my yoghurt to get more volume and thickness and can I add it to my ice cream to get more volume and thickness, what's the ratio, is it healthy to use, I have ice cream machine thanks

[@vighneshjuneja934]

Thank u for letting me know about it

[@TheProteinChef]

You're welcome!

[@VKTR_Tech]

Add avocado. It will make it creamy and healthier.

[@chaseblackbeard]

While true, it will also add more calories. The whole point of this is to thicken a drink without needing to add too many extra calories.

[@dogguy8603]

But avocados taste like shit

[@SejiRenju]

It can use any juice for thickness?? Like for look likenatural juice

[@TheProteinChef]

Sure, as long as you have a way to mix it.

[@ShubhamCL]

Thanks man. And its pretty cheap here in india. 3.44 USD for 200 gms.

[@drpoonamtayadevasani7524]

Hi Shubham, what is xanthen powder... I m from india....❓❓❓

[@UriyahYasharal]

Question: What about collagen powder? I hear it's extremely good for you. Could it be used as a thickening agent as well?

[@Jaybird196]

I wanna know that, too!

[@UriyahYasharal]

Jaybird196 I've discovered the answer to my own question. The answer is sadly, "no". :'(

[@Jaybird196]

+UriYah Ysrayl Damn. That's too bad, as it would've had two positive properties, then :( . That is, being another protein source, AND being a drinks thickener.

[@UriyahYasharal]

Jaybird196 Exactly. Plus collagen is MUCH cheaper than Xanthan Gum. Anyway, God bless.

[@Jaybird196]

+UriYah Ysrayl Again, I sympathize. Thanks, for clearing up that mystery. Although, I suppose, you still have found, another protein shake ingredient (albeit, a flavorless one). You have a good day, too.

[@yetundebukolaakingbolu176]

Please sir, can I use it for my yogurt?

[@TheProteinChef]

Absolutely

[@damonm.]

I used to work at Heinz factory that stuff right there is sticky when it's wet.

[@CTS55555]

I use a little bit of Torino sugar free flavored syrups in my smoothies and it thickens the smoothies. Torino brand syrups and Skinny brand syrups have xanthan or cellulose gum in them.

[@TheProteinChef]

Great tip!

[@alexandercarvajal4219]

Isn't this like corn starch- pls correct me if I'm wrong

[@TheProteinChef]

You can use both to thicken, absolutely.

[@hazztv6317]

Yeah thanks or no flavor Gelo tin.

[@shaimaya1117]

How abt gelatin

[@mohamedkhalifa621]

I'm very proud of you. I want to help you. I will open an ice cream project. Can I know the best types of chocolate that give a wonderful taste to ice cream? I also want the taste of chocolate to overwhelm the sugar. Help me, please.

[@TheProteinChef]

Where are you located Mohamed?

[@mohamedkhalifa621]

In UAE Dubai I hope you will help me

[@MM-ik7cs]

The was slimy chunks in the bottom of my shake. What went wrong?

[@TheProteinChef]

How'd you mix it?

[@MM-ik7cs]

@@TheProteinChef Blender

[@TheProteinChef]

​@@MM-ik7cs That's different! Maybe too much? Not blending long enough? I've never had an issue like that so I'm not too sure here.

[@debseyler9775]

Thanks for this!

[@mastakilla9783]

why you have only 150k? should be more!

Thanks my friend!

[@Ashu-kz1jp]

Use vanilla ice cream

[@Achezvil2003]

can I use baking powder instead??

[@dream_daisy4267]

Can I add it to my premier protein rtd Shake

[@TheProteinChef]

Yes and wow, I was pretty...animated in this one!!!

[@nygiantschamps9340]

oat flour does the job as well

[@Phoenix11720]

Unless you're worried about macros

[@drpoonamtayadevasani7524]

Hey how to use oat flour fr shakes... Plz tell

[@Abhiram-qm3oj]

Dhish dhish nice effect

[@fam4060]

Thank you genius hero

[@christianhilbert1446]

Thanks bruv my protein shakes have been way too watery latley

[@bricknmotor]

Add peanut butter or freeze skim milk In icecube trays

[@hazztv6317]

No flavor gelatin.

[@dreamboynyc965]

Does Xanthan Gum "gum up" one's bowels??

[@MrTheifofDreams]

Would this work for other things such as condiments? I usually get walden farms condiments/sauces/ peanut butter to fit my macros better, but they're usually liquidy.

[@TheProteinChef]

I've used it in some WF products with great success. Try it with a small amount and go from there! :)

[@RatchedCypher]

thank you

[@TheProteinChef]

You're welcome!

[@jmd1743]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like this, as I don't like ice :) .

Good to know

[@mashkamars9998]

Guys, just add strawberries to your smoothie and it will be more thick X)

[@audrebates6255]

This was not what I was looking for....

[@Jeremyisthings]

I always get some clumps. I use a magic bullet for 15-30 seconds. Any advice?

[@monicaramos8458]

Super late reply but get a small condiment cup and put about two tablespoons of cold water first then the powder and mix with a fork to break up the clumps then add it to your smoothie!

[@LogarAcc]

Make an oil slurry, mix a little bit of xanthan gum with a little bit of oil and then add it to your blender to make your smoothie thicker and smooth. This always works to prevent lumps, cause the gum lumps immediately when it touches water but not with oil. Manufacturers do this when using xanthan gum

[@isaacesquivel951]
