Unflavored protein powder?



Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of getting some unflavored Protein Powder to put in various foods. Does it change the consistency? Taste? Overall quality? Any help would be appreciated.

Dear, I wish I could lie to you but I'm going to tell you the straight up truth. I've been "gifted" with a few Protein powders for the last few weeks. Not one of them has been flavored. I honestly thought it was a coincidence until I began to try them. They aren't amazing. Or good. They were a stellar disappointment. I mean, all that free Protein powder! Useless! Now I know why they gave me half full containers! :)

When I put some in flavored greek yogurt it changed the texture and had some Gummy clumps. I also put it in apple cinnamon oatmeal. Both the oatmeal and the yogurt had a very distinct protein taste. I think it's something I can overcome and learn to eat, but I don't think I will learn to enjoy it.

Ugh. Thats what I was afraid of. Thanks for the honest answer!! I'll stick to Protein shakes. Sigh.

I bought unflavored Protein powder prior to my surgery and never really used it because it was awful. And I'm pretty much ok with most protein powders. I could NOT do the unflavored though. I tried it in oatmeal, applesauce, greek yogurt, crystal light and I just couldn't stomach it. I ended up tossing it in the trash.

Try mixing the unflavored Protein powder in with 12-16 oz of chicken, beef , or vegetable broth/stock and drink it like you would a shake.........its not the greatest but it is doable

GENEPRO http://www.musclegen.net/ .... this is oderless and tasteless and does not clump. You can add it to hot or cold....or just sprinkle over your food. This stuff is great. One tablespoon equals a scoop of whey and has 30 grams of Protein. It is approved by John Hopkins and has 96% absorbtion. You can also order it from Amazon. I fix Crystal Light Lemonade and add a scoop. i have added it to coffee, oatmeal, salad....etc. I am on my fourth bag......love it! I cannot stand all the other Protein shakes because of the chaulky taste. I understand you can contact the website and they will send you a sample?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
