Protein Powder In Your Recipes?



Recommended Posts

I usually take the Protein mix only with water/milk. Do you guys use it in any other recipes like Soup or something? I dont really like the taste of the powder with milk or Water and would like to try some other recipes if at all possible. Thoughts?

Go to the food forum under Protein Shakes and there is a huge list of recipes to make your Protein Drinks taste really good! There are all sorts of things you can put in there!

It may be that you need to change the brand you are drinking. Or try some premixed?

I mix chocolate Protein powder (I like the Unjury brand) with almond milk (lower in carbs than skim), and about a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and heat it to make a morning hot cocoa.

There are lots of things you can add for flavor - fruit, yogurt, sugar free flavored syrups (like the coffee shops use), crystal light, instant pudding mix...

I've also mixed vanilla powder in with greek yogurt and Jello to make a sort of "fluff", and if you're far enough along, you can add fruit. I liked lemon jello in the early days when everything was too sweet. Just make sure the dissolved jello isn't too hot when you add the protein powder - if it is, you'll get clumps.

Thanks for all your replies and I will also check out the recipes in the food section of the site.

The problem is.. I'm in India and I'm not much familiar with the brands of Protein shakes. I'm using the one that my doc prescribed and I usually buy it in a pharmacy near my doc's clinic. So I dont know any other options.

I'll check with my doc to see if I can buy unflavored Protein powder anywhere else and start trying out the recipes..

Again, thanks for your help, you guys!

I still depend on Protein Shakes on occasion to meet my requirements. I've been soooo sick of all the flavors and combos. Forensikchick suggested unflavored Unjury in orange juice! It worked GREAT for me. I don't do it daily, but it gave me one more combo to try when the milk or Water just doesn't go down. Good luck with this!!!!

Can you buy Protein powder online? There are several good ones that can be bought online.

See if you can get the samples sent to India. There is also a list of places to get samples in the food section under the Protein Powder section.

I will try buying online or have my cousin (who lives in Chicago) buy some packs when she visits India in a couple of months.

I should try that - I hope any brand of unflavored protein powder works fine when mixed with Orange juice.... :)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
