I am so tired of sweet protein drinks! Does anyone know of any protein shakes or drinks that have a savory flavor? Why are they all so sweet?

I would get unflavored protein powder and put it on broth. I messed up the first time and put in too much. You have to be careful or the texture is really weird.

Unjury makes a bariatric protein powder in unflavored and chicken soup. I have also been adding non fat milk and unflavored protein to 1 of those super sweet protein drinks - measuring so it's 70 grams of protein (what my doctor says to have daily) and finding it easier to handle. Good luck!!

Time to switch to Soups http://www.bariatricchoice.com/bariatric-diet-soups.html

Or have you tried Peanut Butter Protein drink (Syntrax)? It's really tasty and not too sweet.

I try to just turn off my senses (taste, and smell) cause the unjury only has 20gms of Protein. I just do 2 scoops of whey, 30 gms of protein a scoop (it's awful, I agree) and get it over with, then the rest of the day I push greek yogurt high in protein. I never look forward to mornings anymore until the shake is over with. I'm on a regular diet, but still have trouble getting things down. Yesterday I was able to eat chicken for lunch around noon, but around 6:30 when I tried to eat chicken, it just wasn't having it. I don't get nausea, vomiting, sliming, but it hurts until I release gas one way, or another, haha. Good luck!

I have lots of recipes for savory Protein soups on my blog because I too was SICK of sweet shakes. It's www.twosleevers.com. Search for "tired of protein shakes" and you will find hot and sour soup, chicken mushroom, shrimp bisque etc that we still use from time to time.

Only savory protein I know that's ready made is unjury chicken broth and I drank so much post op they I never want to see it again

I bought GNC unflavored whey. It has 24 grams per scoop. I have been mixing 1/2 scoop with 1/2 cup of Campbell's cream of chicken and I can't taste the protein at all. And one can of soup has lasted for 3-4 meals!

Here's the link I was talking about, hope it helps you or others in the same stage: http://twosleevers.com/2013/12/tired-of-protein-shakes-nauseated-by-them-try-this/

Thank you all for your suggestions. I'm inspired to try new ideas.

Back in the beginning someone suggested adding decaf instant espresso to the shakes to change it up. Helped incredibly until I could get to soups.

I have tried that, and it does help, thanks.

Hi Gamergirl,

Great website! I'm looking forward to exploring it further

I am 12 days post surgery. Like many of you, I'm also really tired of the sweetness of the shakes. I am using flavored protein powder such as Nashua Nutrition or unjury to add to my water. I find I can't handle the sweetness, so usually use 1/3 to 1/2 the powder in my 20 0z water bottle, but at least its still getting extra protein than I would otherwise. Any other ideas along these lines?

Me too. I wish I had not bought the cases of boost from BJs.

Does the unflavored have a taste?

Personally, I thought the unflavored tastes strongly of whey. I could not drink it with water, I would gag. When on full liquids, I made Farina really thin with milk and added the unflavored powder. It tasted like heaven after all the sweet shakes. Make sure you mix in super well after the Farina has cooled off.
