Unflavored protein?



Recommended Posts

Anyone have success adding unflavored Protein Powder to hot or cold drinks or foods? My diet is very limited and I am concerned about getting in Protein in for Hair loss purposes. I bought Isopure unflavored. Tips? recipes? I am taking only clear fluids and Protein Shakes and yogurt at this point.

Isopure unflavored is the best I put it in everything. Water. Crystal light. Soup. (I'm on my liquid diet right now) it goes in applesauce, literally anything that's liquid it goes in for me.

I am using the Syntrax unflavored and it doesn't seem to have a taste to me.

@@jennolsen - have you had your surgery or on the pre-op diet?

@@LoseItKacy - I am on my pre-op diet as well.

Hope things are going well for you both :)

I bought the GNC unflavored but I have yet to use it. I just can't imagine that it really doesn't change the taste of things. I have to decide soon if I'm gonna keep it or take it back.

I use the Isopure. I emailed the company to verify that heating it would not denature the Protein. I use it in pretty much everything. I add it to tea, I really like adding it to Soup or vegetable broth. I mix it with yogurt, and I've even mixed it with egg salad & my scrambled eggs prior to cooking. It's a nice protein boost. It was really helpful in the early full liquids stage it was especially helpful. Instead of drinking 3 shakes a day, I did 2 shakes and then in the even I would have veg broth with unflavored protein powder added. It was a nice break from all the sweet of the shakes.

Nowadays if I have a day where I may be running around I put a scoop in a small container in my bag. Then I can grab any beverage along the way and add it to make sure I'm getting in my protein.

How big is the scoop, and for how many grams of Protein?

Probably about ¼cup, 26gms of Protein, zero carbs, zero sugar

Honestly I just put enough in so it blends well. 1/4-1/2 a scoop. In drinks I will put more.

I use Unjury plain Protein powder in tea, broth and Gelatin. It clouds the gelatin giving it a creamy look and doesn't affect the taste in my tea. I make the gelatin using 2 cups SF juice, 2 Knox gelatin packets and 1 scoop of protein.

      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!!
