I just ordered the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein powder because I am having such a hard time stomaching the shakes. How much protein do you typically add to your meals?

I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury too. One scoop is about 4 Tbs. During my pureed and soft food stage, I would usually add 2 Tbs (which is about 10.5 grams of protein) to my food. Examples of foods that I added it to: refried Beans, yogurt, mashed sweet potato. Most of the time though, I use the Unjury in my drinks if I need more Protein rather than in my food. My favorite drink to add it to is decaf iced tea. Goes down easy. I add 2 Tbs per 8 oz of liquid.

Thank you so much! Can you tell that it's in your food?

Welcome!

I love @@unjury! It's my Protein of choice. I've only recently started using the unflavored more frequently and have found success with adding one serving (24 grams) to my strawberry lemonade (sugar-free drink mix with Water to taste). I mixed a serving of lemonade with about a half serving of strawberry with 20 ounces of water, 1 serving of unflavored @@UNJURY, shake well, serve over ice. It is not a Meal Replacement this afternoon, just a beverage to keep me from doing something stupid When I choose to use a shake as a meal replacement, I always use a full serving of whichever flavor I'm using. vanilla is the flavor I buy and use most often. This morning I made an iced latte at work with 8 oz. skim milk, 1 serving unflavored @@UNJURY, 2 oz. espresso, sweetened to taste and a couple of pumps of SF Torani Vanilla and Caramel syrup. Because the whey protein can clump if mixed with liquids hotter than 140 deg., I tend not to use it in hot beverages. The @@UNJURY dietitians are a huge help anytime I have a question about using their product in different things. Most recently, I inquired about adding it to some oatmeal (which I rarely eat, just had a taste for it one cold morning). They have a lot of recipes available on the @@UNJURY website and you can call the dietitians anytime during regular hours.

Because I want to start using protein in my morning coffee, I'm going to try the GENEPRO unflavored for that purpose only. One of the other BP members told me how they incorporate it so as to avoid the clumping issue. I hope it works for me. I prefer drinking my coffee hot in the morning rather than an iced coffee beverage.

One word of advice if you haven't already done this, I recommend actually weighing the scoopful of powder in grams on a food scale rather than depending on just scooping it out; you will get a more accurate serving size each time as the powder can pack down. Be sure to weigh the scoop empty first and zero out the scale, fill scoop and weigh again.

I hope I've answered your question in all of this rambling

If you've got any good recipes or suggestions, please share!

@SKrae430

I have no idea what happened to the message I just typed to you. I think I really messed something up there.

Anyway, I was answering your question about whether or not you could taste the unjury in food.

If you use about 2 Tbs in your food, it just seems to make it creamier, I can't detect the taste of the Unjury.

When you use a 2 Tbs in about 8 oz. of drink, you can taste it. But it is not a horrible taste or anything. Not bad at all. If you find 2 Tbs is too much for you, you can cut it in half.

I struggled with shakes and powders, even unflavored. Nutritionist recommended this and it goes down soooo much better!

Do atkins lift Protein Water and protein Jello if you hate shakes. Isopure is not as thick, it's more like juice if you prefer that.
