Add whey to the cup first.
Start making a swirling motion as you put the shaker cup under the tap for half a second. Never stop swirling the cup. Keep doing this, adding the water a little bit at a time.
Ever baked a cake and the recipe told you to add the water to the mix a little bit at a time? That's because if you just dump it all in, it forms clumps.
Then, when you've got about half the water in there and it's like a watery sludge, shake it. Make sure you have a shaker with one of those metal balls in it, they're far better. Then, once you've shaken it vigorously for a bit, add the rest of the water, one more quick shake and then enjoy your lump free shake.
