Found some Nido at WalMart. Hispanic food section. The can says to mix with warm water.
Is that necessary? I was thinking of using it with Spiru-tein, a powdered "meal in a glass" sort of thing, and don't want to add a whole new level of complexity. We'd been using plain old Carnation powdered milk but would like to try Nido instead.
Does Nido have to be mixed w/ warm water?

Re: Does Nido have to be mixed w/ warm water?
The many times I've used it have had it mix well in cold water. There always seems to be some dregs left over that don't mix well, but I seem to at times get this with non-fat powdered milk as well

I always mix it with cold water. Works fine, although it does take some extra time to dissolve over the non-fat milk. Usually I don't wait for that. It's not like I m using it for some sort of culinary experience. It's food that needs to get into my body - chunky is fine
try mixing a cup of Nido with protein vanilla shake powder - more powder than water. Stir forever, but it's worth it.

I usually bring a 20 oz gatorade or Vitamin water or whatever bottle with the widish top for mixing drinks and stuff like that. Shake the hell out of it!!
Nido looks to be a very good addition to any pack pantry. Protein, fat for energy, high calorie per oz!! Spiru-tein + Nido sounds like a really good breakfast smoothie!!

I think that I already posted about it but a buddy and I have been adding a couple tbl spoons of Nido and a couple Tbl spoons of instant expresso to an instant breakfast. It will help get your morning started right.

I tried your Spiru and Nido combo last week and it was darn good. I premixed it in a baggy and it was alot of powder, but it dissolved pretty well with a good shake. Good breakfast with some oatmeal.Telkwa wrote:Found some Nido at WalMart. Hispanic food section. The can says to mix with warm water.
