Unjury Unflavored Protein



Recommended Posts

So is it good or bad? Honestly? I don't want to fork out the money if it is going to be gross but my NUT recommended it today. She told me to add it to everything since I was having a tough time with Protein. I have already wasted so much money on protein that I don't like. Is online the only place to get Unjury?

yes, I am pretty sure you have to get it online. You can get GNC unflavored whey Protein. It's their own brand. It's basically the same thing.

I've had really good luck with all of the Unjury flavors that I've tried; van, choc, chicken and unfl. I use the unflavored the most because it does go in everything and you can't taste it. That being said, I really only use it in non-sweet foods like Soups. You could surely add it to yogurt and puddings, however, I just haven't tried it. The chicken broth was not bad either. You have to order on-line and they do offer sample packs. Voila!

I am in agreement with the Pirate :>). Unjury Protein is good stuff. I have all the flavors but have only used the unflavored once in a homemade Soup. I didn't taste anything different.

I think I may be one of the only ones that didn't like the unjury chicken Soup. I tried it and felt really strange an hour later. I felt full in a weird way, like it wanted to come back up and I was a little nauseated. I decided against purchasing it because it's very high in sodium and I figured I wouldn't want something making me thirsty when I couldn't get in enough Water. I'm one of those very sensitive to sodium. Maybe that's why I felt weird? People say that high sodium is a way to keep us full longer. If we look at packaged diet foods, they're all pretty high in sodium. (frozen Entrees etc)

I'm going to try the Unjury unflavored in hot cocoa this morning. I did purchase a container of the unflavored when getting the sample pack. I'll let you know how that tastes.

I personally found all the Unjury Proteins repulsive. I am, of course, the pickiest person when it comes to Protein. The Unjury unflavored had a smell that didn't resonate well with me. Just because it says "unflavored" doesn't mean there isn't a taste, or smell. I found the same thing with the GNC unflavored. Sorry, but I didn't like any of the Unjury flavors, and I tried the chocolate, chicken Soup, unflavored, strawberry sorbet, and vanilla. They all were gross to me.

Yuck on the unflavored Unjury in hot cocoa. I too just don't like how it tastes and also how I feel afterwards.

For sweet things like pudding or applesauce I found an unflavored SOY Protein at my grocery store. The brand is GEN-SOY. It has a pleasant smell and no taste. I also ordered the Unjury sample pack but have not received it.

I aboslutely hated the Unjury. I tried every way possible to get them down and just couldn't stomach the smell or the taste. I think everyone is different though, some like it and others not so much. Even the unflavored made me gag.

Order samples and try it yourself. Everyone has different opinions on taste. I lived on nectar Fuzzy Navel mixed with Sunrise Crystal Light and 28 ounces of Water for 3 months. Loved it. Although, I got away from Protein Shakes over the last few months, I am back to trying them in an effort to increase my Protein and break this nasty stall. I recently tried the Chike Protein sample (chocolate) I had ordered and enjoyed that. I also recently purchased Premier Nutrition Protein shakes from costco (RTD) and like those too. I also have many tubs of protein sitting on top of my refrigerator that I don't particularly care for. There is a thread under food / protein that lists lots of places to order samples of different Proteins. I would highly recommend checking it out to save room (and $$) on top of the fridge for protein you will actually drink :smile:

I have had a terrible time finding Protein powder that I can get down. I hate the smell, taste, texture, etc.

I have found that Any whey (I purchase mine from Amazon at [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Instantized-Protein-2-7-Pound/dp/B000GIUQOG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1267113994&sr=8-1]Amazon.com: Optimum Nutrition 100% Any Whey Instantized Whey Protein, 2.7-Pound Tub: Health & Personal Care[/ame]) is good - especially mixed with Carbmaster's Yogurt. I mix 1/2 scoop to 1 container for 20 grams of protein.

I use the Unjury unflavored in chocolate pudding...It works for me, no flavor, no smell and no aftertaste. You just need to stir it really well until it disolves. I love the unjury chocolate and vanilla....the chicken Soup I found to be very salty tasting....The only thing I haven't mastered yet is putting the Protein in hot liquids...The temp can't be above 130 degrees, otherwise it clumps....

I heard that if you mix the Protein Powder with a little cold, cold Water to a paste consistency, and then add it to the warm liquid slowly, it prevents the clumping.

Kind of like adding cornstarch or flour to hot gravy to thicken it.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
