Unjury unflavored?

[StrawberryLaray 33]

I bought the Unjury unflavored Protein Powder today and mixed it with crystal light like I've heard others say they do. I was so disgusted by the taste and smell I dumped it out. It was like adding a glass of milk to my crystal light. Am I crazy??? I'm struggling so bad with these Protein Shakes I'm starting to gag when I drink them. I was really hoping this stuff would be the answer. Help!

I bought the Isopure unflavored and found the same thing. I'm going to try blending it into fruit and yogurt smoothy. Maybe into some mashed potatoes too. For being unflavored it reminds me more of baby formula.

Mashed potatoes would amazing but I'm told they are a no no. No grains, no rice, no potatoes, and if course no sugar. Really no white foods except cauliflower lol

White potato is on my list of choices as long as its a serving of starch and not getting in the way of Protein needs. Also, as long as its not filled with fats like butter :). Cauliflower is lovely.

One of my favorite things to puree is black, pinto, kidney Beans with their juices. Add chicken Bone Broth ( I make my own) Puree some chicken, red bell pepper and onion and add to your bean puree and reduce on low heat until you like the consistency. A little salt and garlic powder helps to enhance the flavor along with a little cheese. I only eat about 3/4 a cup of the finished product, but I get some good Protein, veggies, wonderful starch and a little fat. Also, my husband will eat it with chips so I don't have to have it everyday for 2 weeks lol.

I'm a fan of Unjury, but I don't think I'd try to put it in Crystal Light. I tried the Jello recipe on the Unjury site and it's tolerable, but I don't think I'd stand in line for it. Unflavored Unjury is best when mixed with milk-based products. I put a tablespoon or so in my greek yogurt to get an extra Protein kick.

If you're looking for something clear, Premier Protein makes clear protein supplement drinks. I haven't tried them, but others on this site speak highly of them. I bought the Isopure from GNC but they leave a weird dry-feeling in my mouth that I just can't tolerate.

For me, if I'm tired of milk based protein supplements, I keep Unjury chicken flavored on hand. I like it because it's a nice change from the sweetness of most Protein Shakes and it is warm/soothing. Warning: it is high in sodium.

Thank you! This is very helpful.

@burbur I agree it was terrible! And not cheap

[StrawberryLaray 33]

That sounds pretty good. I'll try that. Can't wait till I don't have to puree everything!
