Is it me or does whey protien smell and taste pretty disgusting. I recently bought isopure alpine punch and threw up because the smell of the protein and I thought It was the drink but when I tried another protein product it also had a weird tasted to me sort of like a cleaning solution taste and not a powdery taste any suggestions if someone has also went through this please help!!!!

The alpine punch s my least favorite of the isopure so far....but I agree the smell is a complete and total turn off....

Can you add a flavour extract to it to help out the taste??

I mixed it 50/50 with crystal light, tolerable, I don't particularly like it, but tolerable.

I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein. It's not 100% tasteless but it can be masked easily. For instance, tonight I used my magic bullet and puréed a cup of frozen strawberries, cup of frozen mango (I buy fresh then wash, chop and store in the freezer, which is cheaper than buying frozen fruits) a splash of Water, a packet of stevia and a scoop of Protein powder. I've discovered that for me adding milk or yogurt makes the protein taste more pronounced so I just use water for this kind of shake. Or another shake I make is a pack of sugar free hot chocolate mix, 1/2 frozen banana 4-8 oz of 1% milk, ice cubes and scoop of protein. You can add a spoon of Peanut Butter too! Hope this helps.

I have no issues with the protein shakes but I'm a vegetarian who drinks and eats soy products already. It is probably the whey or the soy you are smelling that is bothering you. My pre-op diet for two week pre surgery is 4 protein shakes a day, 4oz protein, 2 nonstarchy vegetables, 2 fruits and 2 tbsp fat ( butter,salad dressing, light mayo...). So far I haven't been able to eat all that in one day. I was very surprised to find out today that my surgeon doesn't require anything different the day before surgery. I was expecting clear liquids or a clean out of some kind. But nope he lets you eat the pre diet right up to surgery...Cool Beans! I'm happy about that.

It is so odd how they are all so different.

Yup. Sucks

The Alpine Punch made me vomit, but I have tried many other single serve packets and they have been palatable. I think you just have to keep trying.

I am on a 2 week liquid only diet pre op. 90 g of protein and 1,000 calories of liquid to intake. I find that the "oh yeah" protein shakes are good. I do not like the isopure at all!!!!!!!

I made a smoothie tonight. Low fat strawberry yogurt, scoop of vanilla protein powder and a banana. Blended it up and was pretty tasty.

It's not easy at all. I'm hungry and want to eat something even low fat. But dr said no. Liquids only for this 2 weeks. He says it makes the liver smaller and makes the surgery more technically easier for him.
