i personally really like the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury flavorless Protein. a little spendy, but not too chalky.

All Max...one of the cleanest Proteins I have found

I am now using GenePro. No flavor I can detect, so one very small scoop in V8 works great. I do not like the milky taste of Bariatric Advantage. Right now I am adding Hershey's Unsweetened COcoa Powder with barely any calories, and. truvia, to shakes. By far my favorite protest shake.

Agree on the GENEPRO. It's great. Very small amount of OJ and it's easy to handle. Mix with a fork and it's virtually imperceptible.

My personal problem with GENEPRO is that their nutrition label does not "add up". There is 4 calories in 1 gram of Protein. 1 scoop has 30 grams of protein...there should, at a minimum, be 120 calories in 1 scoop...but 1 scoop only contains 98 calories....which means that the protein in genepro is somehow being manufactured in a manner that is not natural...on the flip side...all max protein is manufactured in Canada (a country that is very stringent in the supplement market with nutritional information) and their protein has 28 grams per scoop with 115 total calories (112 for pure protein and 3 grams of "fillers)....you simply do not know what u are getting in genepro

The four cals per gram is the issue. It's a misconception. If you take a look at Genepro's website they have a video explaining their process. It's actually quite clear and scientifically proven. Their process is very advanced and fascinating. And for the record I don't work there or know them or anything lol. I'm from Canada and it's expensive to buy here, but it's worth it IMHO.

I love the little scoop with so much protein. If I had used any other protein powder I had with V8, it would not have worked. It has no taste that I detect.

I also agree on GENEPRO. It has been a life saver for me. I had several ups & downs with not being able to eat during the first 2 months. My surgeon said as long as I took my Vitamins & drank Protein, I would be ok. I hated the Bariatric Advantage & couldn't tolerate the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. I found that I liked cherry crystal light with the Genepro. Each scoop is 30 protein & I was getting 8 oz Water - bonus! It's been over 3 months now & I can eat anything. I do have a craving for Kraft Zesty Italian lite, so I have lots of salads. I've lost 55 lbs & have 35 to go. Hope that helps.

I hate genepro- it def has a strong taste and changes the consistency of drinks- though I have never tried it in orange juice. I am trying unjury next

I guess Protein is a very personal taste. I haven't found one that truly has no taste and doesn't change the consistency of what you mix it with. I personally find the very good volume to protein ratio of GENEPRO (one tbl spoon for 30 gram) is what makes a difference. In OJ the strong taste and consistency make it really easy to take every morning. Combined with a Greek yogourt you can start your day with 40 grams of protein without any fuss...

I use Jarrow unflavored whey Protein. Each scoop is 20g of protein, I believe. I add it to my smoothies and can never taste it. Haven't tried it in anything else yet but so far so good. Bought it on Amazon for about $25-30.

Genepro saved my life. I was having trouble keeping anything down after surgery I was down to 250 calories per day, my blood pressure dropped dangerously low too, until I found Genepro which literally saved me from ending up back in the hospital.
