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?

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
