Unflavored Protein Powder



Recommended Posts

I've tried two different kinds, of Protein Powder, so far and can't stand either one because I don't like sweet or milk. I need to find one I can consume every day, due to only being able to eat small amounts and not being able to reach my Protein goals. I am supposed to get 60-70gm per day, I sometimes make it to 50. I've tried 2 protein powders, one is vanilla Body Fortress Super Advanced whey isolate that is sickly sweet!! The other is Designer whey unflavored and tastes like sour milk. I like the idea of unflavored as I can vary it by what I mix it with and don't need to spend alot of money on different flavors.

I've seen some recommendations for Isopure Zero carb unflavored powder, how is that one?

I didn't care for it but everyone has different tastes. I'd visit a site like Vitalady and order a bunch of samples so you can try everything before you buy.

My favorite unflavored (and I've tried five or six of them) is Integrated supplements. In the can it has that Protein smell but I drink two scoops some mornings in coffee or tea and don't even know it's there. I mix it in Soup, too. It doesn't clump in very warm liquids, either, which is a huge plus. It's pricier but we now keep Kosher so it's worth the expense to me.

My least favorite unflavored Protein was unjury. I couldn't add more than a Tbs. to anything or it changed the flavor.

I'm lactose intolerant and I never mix my Protein Powder with milk. I do like to use plain soymilk, though, so you might try that to cut some of the sweet. I make my own but I'm sure there's a brand you could try if you don't like mixing with Water, coffee or tea.

Good luck!

A few of us here have found success shaking unflavored Protein with orange juice. I add one packet of Splenda to it. I am ok with unjury unflavored, but I never had any other brand, so I can't compare.

You mentioned you don't like milk, but I will throw this out there anyway. You never know. For variety I sometimes shake 4 ounces of milk, Splenda, vanilla & Unjury. I then add 4 ounces of orange juice.< /p>

Oh, CLK, I think you need to post a thread about keeping Kosher with the sleeve!! My best friend that recently passed was Jewish, although she did not keep kosher in a formal manner. We had quite a few discussions on what was required, though. I would be very interested in reading about how to manage keeping kosher on this journey!! :)

I have the Unjury unflavored and I could handle the taste but I couldn't get past the smell once it was mixed with a liquid.< /p>

I drink it out of a shaker bottle with a small spout and I can't smell it. Exhaling as you drink will help too.

@Clk- Integrated supplements sounds great. Can't imagine being able to add Protein to tea and not even know its there. Where do you buy yours? I found it online, but I prefer to buy at GNC where I can return it if I don't like the taste, but I don't think they carry it.

I have tried Unjury with oj and its okay.. doable. I just ordered some from jarrow unflavored. It changes the oj to an lighter color but it stays mixed, doesnt stink and has no taste really. I mixed it this morning with orangepineapple juice. It was very good. I also dont taste the juice before I mix it so I dont know if there is a difference. I have been drinking it this way for three weeks now. I like them both but prefer the jarrow to the unjury. I am going to try some more kinds when I run out of jarrow. I ordered it from Amazon. Good luck.

AnyWhey hands down. 17grms of Protein @ 70 calories per scoop so it doesn't pack the most punch but it doesn't taste like anything and that means a lot coming from me as I'm sensitive to weird tastes. Best of luck

Thanks for this idea!! Yum!

Its by simply orange. It tastes really good with the protien powder in. You wouldnt know it at all. I think their are other brands too but that is the brand I get.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I can only put about 4 oz. at a time in my sleeve, so I have to be able to get alot of Protein in 4 oz., at least 20gm per meal. I don't drink fruit juice, I did try it mixed with Crystal Light and it looked milky (which didn't bother me too much) but it still tasted like sour milk.

fruit juice is not ideal at all, but it was the only way some of us could meet our Protein goals. At your stage, the only other thing I can think of that is not sweet or milky is powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup, but 4 ounces does not have all that protein you want.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
