Protein powder - Smaller scoop?

[ttdish 315]

I searched the forum, and despite a ton of posts requesting Protein powder recommendations, I couldn't find this topic.... So, can anyone suggest a Protein Powder (preferably unflavored) that gives a good amount of Protein but doesn't require a big scoop?

I currently have Jarrow, and the scoops size is about 1/4 cup for 18 G protein. That is a lot of bulk to add when my meals are so small (almost two weeks out). I can use half a scoop, but then the amount of protein added seems really small.

So I guess I'm looking for either a powder with a decent amount of protein with a small scoop, or a powder with a much larger amount of protein per scoop, so I can halve the scoop and still get a good protein punch.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

I use a 100% whey Protein Isolate and it's 25g per scoop, I mix it with everything.

Same. I use Isopure unflavored whey it's 26 gms per scoop. You may want to consider switching to a Protein powder that give you more bang for the buck.

Other brands to try are Syntrax nectar, and GENEPRO. Personally I'm not a fan of Genepro's psuedo science method of counting their Protein level, but others on this forum swear by it.

Mine is 100% whey as well... Not sure why it has so much less Protein. What brand do you use?

That's exactly what I'm trying to do

This is the one I use. 30g per scoop, its Peanut Butter banana flavored and it tastes like a melted milkshake. You mix it with 8oz Water. Its not thick either, easy to get down!

I'm using a combo of Quest Protein unflavored but I'm having the same issue HUGE scoop for 24gms BUT I did buy this product called coco protein. It's coconut Water plus 20gms of protein, lactose free and gluten free, 170 calories per 12oz. Let me tell you, that stuffs amazing it's got all kinds of Vitamins and full of electrolytes but mostly natural because it's coconut!! Anyway I love it and it comes it 2 flavors, chocolate and piña colada which is what I got and it totally taste like plain coconut water. Very refreshing!

100% Whey Protein Isolate is the way to go as it is a higher percentage of Protein. You can always add more liquid (Water, almond milk etc) to thin it out. As you are able to consume more you can pull back on the Fluid. Just sip on it longer to get it in. The protein is very important!

I'm actually looking for something I can add to my food- yogurt, Soups, etc. that's why I want a small scoop, because my portion size is so small. I tried putting some in refried Beans, and the amount I needed to add to get a decent amount of Protein was equal to the potion of my beans!

I'm going to try one of the ones listed that has 25 or so grams of Protein per scoop. At least then I can add 12+ grams of protein using half a scoop.

My husband suggested that I take 1 scoop of unflavored Protein powder and sprinkle it on things throughout the day (pudding, cottage cheese...). By the end of the day, I would get in that amount of Protein (let's say 24 grams - depending on what brand of protein you use). I think that is a super idea but haven't tried it yet. I tried to add a whole scoop to some broth at the beginning of my full liquids stage and it was not tasty to me at all. Good Luck to you!

Did you find the most Protein in the smallest scoop solution?

I use Optimum Protein powder (24g protein, 1 not too big scooper) and Rule 1 protein powder (25g protein, 1 scoop, medium sized scooper). Lots of awesome flavors. Optimum is 100% whey protein and Rule 1 is 100% Isolate and Hydrolysate protein.
