I think it tastes like what baby spit up smells like. Does that make sense? It's the Protein smell. I have to disguise it in my shake with spinach and SF Syrup. It grosses me out. But I don't want to let a whole tub of it go to waste.

I can taste it based on your description. Protein has a distinct taste that will probably always be there. I got my hair done a few days ago and he made a comment about my hair being thin and fine. I used to have very thick hair. It isn't balding but I don't want to get to that point so I have got to find ways to get enough protein.

I use it in sugar free hot chocolate. I don't use the whole scoop though. I feel like getting a small amount of it is better than none at all.

The Unjury vanilla was wonderful--smooth, creamy and tasted like white chocolate. I mixed with 8oz 1% milk. The website says the unflavored does not mix well with Water. Perhaps milk would be better (my sample of it and the chicken broth flavor are in the mail)! Wal Marts "Six Star whey Isolate" vanilla is also very good. Not as thick and filling as the Unjury Vanilla, but still very good.

  • I loved the Unjury chocolate and vanilla. After reading reviews I decided to buy the tub of unflavored to mix into Soups. I just had cream of broccoli Soup with a scoop, and the whey taste was so powerful, I literally just had to chug the soup and then chase it with my full bottle of Water. Now I have that sick sloshy feeling. I might have put too much powder in, but now I'm going to have to figure out what to do with the rest of the tub and also find a replacement unflavored. Good luck! Any suggestions on a good unflavored powder, or ideas on how to use up the rest of the tub?

jessicakayyy: Did you follow the heating instructions? The package says to be sure not to heat past 140 degrees. Perhaps that would help? I would also recommend starting with a little at a time and stirring in slowly to a desired taste. I think "unflavored" is still going to have some flavor....it's just finding the balance. Good luck!

I did follow the heating instructions, I have a food themometer that I carry in my purse now. However, I do think you hit the nail on the head with the adding too much powder. I did one serving of Soup which is 8 ounces to one scoop, and even though the package says 8-16 oz of "liquid" I'm probably going to have to cut the scoop in half. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to cut the powder down until I can't smell/taste the whey flavor. :-)

Try the unflavored in sugar free pudding. I get a small box and add a cup and 1/4 of skim milk. In a small blender blend the milk and one scoop of Unjury unflavored Protein. Then add the pudding and blend it till its mixed well. Divide in two bowls and you have about 15 grams of Protein and desert. I can not taste the protein in the pudding because it almost double strength. It is about 100 calories so it can be a snack or meal.

Remember no bake chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies (there are different names for them but they have cocoa, oatmeal, and peanut butter). There is a recipe for high Protein ones and that is what I make when I buy Protein Powder that I don't care for. I also use PB2 in place of Peanut Butter to cut calories but save Protein. You might try that or make protein balls with your unflavored protein.

I mixed the unflavored unjury in orange juice and really didn't taste it at all. I haven't tried it in other things yet, but I plan on it post-surgery. I really like the Unjury chocolate Splendor mixed with skim milk. I also like the Unjury strawberry Sorbet mixed with Crystal Lite pink lemonade.

I have to have some variety in taste. Unjury is about the only Protein shake I have found that I can tolerate.

I'm on day 2 of my liquid diet. I hope I don't burn out on it before I work my way back to real foods!

I'm glad you have found powders that you like. I do like the chocolate also. All the other flavors I feel leave that "whey" aftertaste. I probably messed that up myself though with the first batch of Soup fiasco. Now just the smell of whey turns my stomach and I'm only day three in. I found a powder at Walmart, the brand is body fortress. With 12 oz of skim milk and one scoop is 36 grams and it is delish. No whey aftertaste. I'm going this weekend to try the chocolate. Hope you stay motivated, just a week aand a few days to go. Good luck on your surgery!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
