Protein Powders Smell Like Vomit! Help!

So i thought it was the actual taste of Protein powders that I cant stand and I finally discovered that it isnt. Its that nasty vomit inducing smell!!

I am pre op and have about 2 weeks until my sleeve surgery and I must find a Protein powder that doesnt stink.

The unjury chocolate splendor is actually pretty tasty.. if I plug my nose, and until I take a breath afterwards. OMG gross.

I have tried a few brands at walmart, most of the unjury flavors and the smell of all of them makes me sick. How am i going to do this after surgery if I cant stomach these at all??

  • Our tastes change after surgery, so maybe you'll be lucky and they will taste good to your afterwards. I personally like the Premier Protein bars and shakes that are sold at Sams or costco. There are

I definitely couldn't tolerate any of the protein drinks, either. I make my own with Greek yogurt, almond milk, and whatever else I feel like throwing in there. It's not as much protein per drink as the powders or ready-to-drinks, but I can handle them--they stayed down when nothing else would, and they smell pleasant. :-)

I use Protein "shots" ......2.9oz of 25grams protein in a tube called Profect. I order a mixed case of 4 different flavors and it is sent directly to my house. Go to www.Protica.com.

There are different flavors and they are not that bad, and since you drink it down in 3-4 "shot like slips" you really don't smell it.

Here's the nutrition info on the Profect protein shot. Note that the first ingredient for protein is hydrolized collagen, which is not readily available to our bodies as sleevers. I also see that pure cane sugar and citric acid are ingredients in this. Both are things I avoid. There are a ton of threads about protein shots and how they aren't useful to us. Why choke down a nasty protein shot when the protein isn't usable by our body?

Ok girl I am 2 months out and I still hate protein. I had to buy no flavor cause all the flavors made me sick. I bought soy protein at nutrition.com and I made my own flavor. I love peanut butter so I put 2 scoops peanut butter, 1/2 cup soy milk, 1/2 bannana, and 1 scoop protein and ice and its the best. Til this day I don't taste no other ones.
