Unjury- Soup?!?!
thats because you didn't follow the directions and you're doing it wrong. in order for it to dissolve correctly you can only mix it in warm water, if you try mixing it in cold, cool, or too hot/boiling water you will start seeing clumps. believe me i ran into the same problem and made sure i only mix it in warm water which is what the directions say.

Unjury- Soup?!?!
I ordered some samples. I mixed the Unjury chicken powder with Swanson chicken broth, taste really good. Also recommend mixing it with Ramen noodle chicken seasoning, or shimp seasoning or beef flavor, whatever you like, but i def. recommend adding those additional things to it to make it taste good. be creative.

I finally found something i like and it DOESN'T have any nasty whey aftertaste. ....Unjury Chicken soup! I make the mix with 8z of warm water as directed, then I add an additional 8z of Swanson chicken broth, taste really good! just like chicken soup! a little salty but whatever it doesnt have any disgusting whey taste. Sometimes I also mix it ramen noodle chicken flavor, and shrimp flavor, i keep it creative! yum..

I tried them all and their all nasty, i dont recommend any of them, they all have that horrible whey aftertaste. damn i must of spend so far like $200 just trying different protein powders and shakes and the only one i like so far is bolthouse farms but the sugar is really high, guess thats the only way to mask the whey after taste. i also ate some greek yogurt and that has 20g of protein, but it's really thick and hard to eat, especially since i just got sleeved last week, and also that greek yogurt doesnt have whey so idk what kind of protein is in it and i dont know if thats the right protein i need to have in my body. im so lost right now, must i really down these disgusting whey drinks that taste like garbage? cant believe there is nothing out there that can successfully mask that whey aftertaste, there has to be something out there for me. i need to find something already. please anyone? please help. i just placed an order for unjury chicken Soup, maybe that taste good? who knows, im trying anything right now and desperate to find something that taste good, anything.

I tried Premier Protein shakes, didn't like it, too much whey aftertaste. I tried Isopure Clear Protein Drink - alpine punch. 40g protein per bottle. i didn't like it too much protein aftertaste, i had to delute it with Water and add crystal light to it to make it taste good lol. -question does anybody know any similar clear Protein drinks like isopure cherry flavored drinks but that actually taste good?

Just an update for this thread I tried even more Protein shakes. -Special K Protein shake (10g protein) -got from CVS. delicious taste, doesnt have that whey aftertaste, unfortunately it's 18g sugar per serving, and the protein isn't enough daily unless i want to down 6 a day, however it was tasty. -Slim Fast (10g protein) - Also got from CVS, also great tasting, same deal as Special k they also have 18g sugar per serving, but it taste good, no nasty whey aftertaste. however too little protein so i dont want to drink these all day. However I did purchase the Slim Fast High Protein Powder as well off of Amazon and it has double the protein, I will update this thread on Monday when I try it. -Ensure Protein Shake (got from CVS, 25g protein, 5g sugar) - didn't like it, too much whey aftertaste, just couldn't drink it, don't recommend, but kudos for putting lots of protein in it. -Nestle Boost Shake Calorie Smart (got from CVS,16g protein, 4g sugar) I puked it out, couldn't even barely take a tip, extreme whey aftertaste. -Atkins Advantage (from CVS, 15g protein, 1g sugar). Don't recommend, still too much whey aftertaste and just doesn't taste good. -EAS Advantage Carb Control Shake (from CVS, 17g protein, 0g sugar) couldnt drink it, too much whey taste, didn't like it. well so far not so good today, the only shakes I liked and didn't have that disgusting whey aftertaste are the ones with too little protein in it and lot of sugar. I guess the sugar helps to hide the whey taste which is a good thing, i just wish those had more protein in it. So i did purchase more Protein drinks and I will rate them in the next few days. I purchased Slimfast powder high protein, Chicke Nutrition powder, Oh - yea! Protein shakes, and i also will go to Sams Club to buy Premiere protein shakes and ill also go to Vitamin Shoppe to buy BodyTech chocolate. boy this sure is a lot of work to find a shake I like.

Those problems don't matter to me, I want the simpleness of just opening up a protein shake and drinking it. Yes they are more expensive but cost isn't a matter to me. It's def. worth it since im saving time not having to worry about scooping and mixing and all that mess. I just have to find something good.
