I bought the GNC unflavored protien powder and the guy in there didnt have a clue. He just looked at me and said I dunno, well, I dunno either LOL. can anyone help with ideas, i asked him if i could mix it with food and he said it probably wouldn't be a good idea..... thanks vicki

Definitely mix it with foods. I added mine to yogurt*, oatmeal, SF Cocoa, applesauce, etc.

Be careful with temperatures though ... Protein doesn't do well when it's too hot. I warmed up my Water, mixed it cocoa and Protein Powder and then microwaved for a few more seconds to get it a little warmer. Otherwise, you will get nasty globs of protein that you don't even want to try to drink. YUCK!!!!!

*If you can get hold of Kroger Carbmaster Yogurt it already has about 12 g of protein in it with only 4g carb. I added 1/2 scoop of unflavored protein powder & it was GREAT!

thanks Mini, so, how do u know how much to put in and does it make the food thick? can u taste it? sorry for all the questions, i never dealt with unflavored before, I don't have a kroger here,, My daughter is coming from atlanta for my surg, but i dont think the yogurt would fare well...LOL thanks,,vicki

I typically used 1/2 scoop when adding to foods. Anymore than that, it changes the texture too much. But, I was one that HATED Protein powders - even "tasteless" ones. So, you may be able to use more.

Do you have Fred Meyers or Albertsons? I know they carry some Kroger brands. If not, you can always use the Greek Yogurts or regular fat-free yogurt works well too (just a little more on the carb count).

Don't worry about asking questions. Glad to help out a newbie. I know people sure helped me on here when I was asking millions of questions.

thanks again, no, i dont have either of those, i have a wegmans and a tops and walmart, is it an unflavored yorgurt or artificially sweetened? i tried the greek yorgurt and almost puked,,,LOL....sorry but true, thanks again vicki

I was told to sprinkle it on cereal, smoothies, maybe soup? I haven't bought any yet, but never would have thought of unflavored until the nutritionist suggested it.

I use Stevia in my plain Greek yogurt and mix in blueberries and it's delicious.

As far as the unflavored Protein powder, I mixed it in sf gatoraide, sf poweradie, sf Hawaiian punch, and Crystal lite.

Mix in with sf pudding-one scoop for every cup of milk. Mix and dissolve protein powder first, then pudding mix. It's great. I also sprinkle a 1/2 scoop on food and stir in. Mini is right about temoerature you don't want to go above 130 degrees or else yuck!

If you want to flavor it, Sweet Leaf makes a healthy Stevia sweetner that comes in all sorts of flavors. It's a liquid and very concentrated so you just add a few drops to whatever. It's good stuff!
