Which is the best unflavored whey protein powder/isolate for mixing w/ food/broths etc?



Recommended Posts

I can't have the normal Protein powders out there as they are usually never kosher/halal. So I was wondering whether anyone knew of any great tasting high Protein whey powders that I could use instead to amp up my liquids/foods/soups whatever from the get-go after the surgery. I really want to make sure I'm getting in as much protein as possible and want to put protein in basically everything I ingest lol. Have to make it count right! lol.

Another question I have regarding whey protein powders. I want to keep my carbs as low as possible (easily under the 50's in grams) and as clean as possible too, so I'm wondering how this "whey" stuff fares in that sense? Does the benefit of added protein outweigh the effects of "gluten" and carbohydrate ratio in the stuff?

Also, while we're on the subject....lol. Does anyone know if whey protein powders have sugar/sweeteners in them?

Thanks in advance to anyone and everyone who answers! :D

I use Unjury - given that my doctor/NUT are about high Protein, low carb, it may meet your requirements. I'm not going to pretend to understand the ins and outs of everything you're looking for, but feel free to google Unjury and you'll find their whey protein powders. For me, they're great! Shipping was also super fast :)

Thanks a bundle! I'll definitely look into that! BTW, you're so lucky your docs are on the high Protein low carb side!!!! What I wouldn't pay to find a doc with that same mentality for myself and my kids. lol. All the doctors I've been to are high carbs low fat monsters. They could care less what else I'm doing as long as I'm eating "enough whole grains" LOL.

I bought Garden of Life Raw Protein. It's unflavored and organic.

Hope that helps!

Please explain how you hide it because I been trying everyday and I'm not doing to well with I guest cause I know it's there. I use the 100% whey before I had surgery and it was done but after no good so my Nut had me tried Isopure and this is the nastiest I every tasted and I brought right back up so now I'm trying to work in the whey with everything and everything I eat I'm adding Protein to it

I really like the way this one is formulated. Just visited the site and to be honest this is EXACTLY what I'm looking for initially. However, the Protein is a bit low for what I need in the first stages. Actually, the protein/carb ratio is rather too high for me to at the moment. However, I will most definitely change to this stuff ASAP once I get over the initial first few stages and can add in more protein "otherwise". Meaning, my sleeve is ready for "real" food. :D

Thanks a ton Lai!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
