Anybody using the unflavored protein powder?



Recommended Posts

I tried the Unjury unflavored in Water with crystal light - yuck! But I hear it is good in something more savory, like Soup, chili, etc. where you would be less likely to notice its slight flavor. Haven't tried that yet.

Unflavored doesn't mean no flavored. Unflaovred means the whey isolate doesn't have any added flavorings. Depending on what you mix it with there may be a slight change in taste. I use Isopure unflavored. One of my favorite things to mix it with is adding it to Soup or vegetable broth. It's not quite the same taste/texture as a creamy soup. The taste is mild but not milky. If I add spices it's barely discernible. I've mixed it with juices and while it wasn't unpleasant, I didn't particularly care for it. You might also want to look at Protein drink or waters. Isopure made ready to drink ones that are pretty good. Syntrax nectar makes powders that can be mixed with Water but are milky. Proasis makes Protein Shots. Even Special K makes Protein waters. The protein count is not as high, but if you are looking to supplement they may work.

There are literally hundreds of protein powders and shakes out there. Premiere Protein is really popular, I find it disgusting. I love Isopure unflavored and their ready to drink teas. A lot of people are turned off by the smell. You have to try them and see if they suit your taste buds. If you buy from a brick and mortar store like GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods or even Target you can return any unused portion as long as you have your receipt. My advice would be to buy a few and try them.

Be wary that some protein powders are not designed to be mixed with hot things. When mixing whether hot or cold I find it helpful to mix the scoop with a small amount of liquid at first. Perhaps 1 tsp. Once it's completely dissolved then add the rest of your liquid.

I too also use Isopure unflavored whey Protein. I tend to use that when I am going with fruit smoothies where I use juice instead of soy milk, and frozen fruits. It gives a bit of volume to the smoothie that I normally would get with the milk. I prefer it over the flavored stuff cause sometimes the flavoring in those whey protein mixes can be too much for me taste wise. I have a friend that uses and swears by the Unjury stuff, but I can't really find that locally like I did the ISOPure.

I think I paid around $60-$70 for a 3lbs container of the unflavored stuff. Well worth the money to me in my book.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
