"unflavored" protein to mix with coffee?



Recommended Posts

Hello!

I posted a post about coffee a couple of weeks ago, and I'm happy to say that I am happily drinking my coffee every morning.

I mix in about half a premier Protein shake with my coffee, and drink the remaining shake, and then drink my coffee, and also get in almost half my liquid minimum for the day!

I do struggle to finish my coffee however, because the chocolate Premier Protein taste is strong at the bottom of my mug and it's kinda bitter and gross.

Adding Creamer helps, but then it's harder for me to drink so much liquid in my morning sprint out the door, and if I were to try to drink my coffee on the way, it would never happen. Trust me.

I am interested in either replacing the premier Protein Shake or using less of it in my coffee and supplementing it with some sort of Protein powder, such that I get at least 30 (more would be great!) grams of Protein every morning, as I am interested in upping my protein intake, being almost 9 weeks out of surgery, and my weight loss is starting to stall, so after reading countless posts on this site, I have determined the best thing to do is focus on increasing my protein intake and managing my liquid intake.

So does anyone have any suggestions on protein powders that I can use with coffee and Premier Protein?

One of my 'requirements' is that the coffee should taste good.

@@crazyplantlady, that's what I've done in the past too with my coffee, I've just started adding unflavored Protein Powder from genpro. It really doesn't have a taste, and next I'm going to try Unjury unflavored and chocolate. I love the unflavored cause I can add it to my Soup bowl. The only thing is with unjury the temp of drinks has to be under 140 degrees. If higher it degenerates the Protein. Hope this helps!

I use espresso in the morning and mix 2 shots with 8 oz of unsweetened almond milk and a scoop of the Unjury chocolate splendor for Breakfast. I love it! I imagine if you used coffee and unjury, it'd be pretty much the same. Just make sure your coffee is under 140F so the Protein doesn't denature and get all clumpy.

Thanks guys! I looked at both and decided to get GENEPRO. Hopefully the money didn't go to waste!

I make my coffee in my keurig. I then pour out about half of it. I put in half a scoop of max muscle vanilla Protein (15g protein) and about an ounce or so of fair life milk (about 2 G protein if I remember correctly). I can usually drink all of that. It took me a while to figure out to pour out half of the coffee cuz I never could finish it and didn't get all the protein I put in.

I put in my milk before the protein so that it cools some and the protein mixes easier.

      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!!
