Protein powder taste?



Recommended Posts

I'm having trouble getting all the required Protein in, so want to add unflavored Isopure powder to some regular foods. The guy at GNC said the powder mixed with just Water tastes icky, but that it's okay if mixed with something.

I want to add the powder to sf pudding, Soup, and smoothies, but I don't want to have to throw food away if the Protein Powder ruins the taste. Can anyone tell me what your experience has been?

Thanks in advance!

That's the problem, unflavored doesn't mean it's tasteless.

I haven't tried anything but unjury and it doesn't taste bad. They have a sample pack you can order before buying the big container.

Can you tell me what kinds of foods you've mixed it in? Do you not notice the taste of the powder because it's masked by the food? Or can you taste it a bit, but not mind the taste?

(My stomach has been finicky, so I'm nervous.)

pudding & oatmeal mostly. I didn't notice the taste as much as the texture. Something with more liquid probably wouldn't be so bad.

+1 for GENEPRO

We just started carrying GenePro in the BariatricPal Store. It's the 2nd generation version which is supposedly more efficient than the first.

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the feedback. I'll try a little of the Isopure powder I have (a small bag) and see how it goes. At least now I know I won't be ruining a whole cup of yogurt or pudding.

I used Isopure for a very short time, then I just couldn't stand it in anything. I switched to GENEPRO and am very happy with it. I can't smell or taste it at all.

I'm only 5 days out, but I bought the nectar grab and go packets. Lemonade has been my favorite so far. It takes me almost all day to drink it, but if you have a cup like a yeti or similar to, it stays cold all day. I just can't go back to the chocolate yet.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
