My Breadman recipes call for powdered whey, but I can't find it. Any substitutes?

Question

I have powdered whole, non-fat and buttermilk but can only find flavored whey protein to make health shakes. I need a source or substitute.

Answer 1

I think you can just leave the whey out to be honest, add a little more liquid to it and should be fine.

Here is some info I found online that might help you though.


Whey is a by-product of cheese making. It is formed when the curds separate from the milk or cream. After the cheese curds are formed, the remaining liquid is called whey. This liquid is watery and thin. Sometimes whey has a tinge of bluish color, but this depends on the quality and type of milk used.

Whey can be made from any type of milk, with cow's milk being the most popular in the United States. Goat's milk is commonly used in the Middle East and in some desert areas, camel's milk is used in the cheese making process.

Whey is also formed in the making of yogurt, being the thin liquid that forms on top of the settled yogurt. This can be drained off and added to shakes.
