Unflavored Protein Powder?



Recommended Posts

I could use some help figuring out how to proceed with the all-important protein!

What do you all use? I don’t like anything with flavor, so I’m just comparing unflavored powders.

1) Genepro— been using for months successfully, but their product (or labeling?) changed so it might be time to change. Maybe I’ve overestimated how much Protein I got if they mislabeled??

2) Tried Isopure and bipro Bold (both yuck)

3) Considering Unjury Unflavored—does anyone use this? Taste, smell, texture? 24g scoop, 21g protein at $1.60 per serving.

4) New GENEPRO (3rd generation) is lower on protein. Calculated to compare to Unjury, a 22g scoop is 22g protein at $2.66 per serving.

5) Someone posted about Vital Proteins, but it contains a lot more sodium than I’d like.

6) Am I missing any other options?

Thanks!

I tried Unjury and found it unacceptable. It seemed to have quite a bit of flavored for being unflavored. That said, I dont mix my items with milk so that might help. You can buy by the packet for just a couple bucks on their website to try it out on the cheap.

GENEPRO is great. I've been using it since pre-op.

I found my nutritionist’s pre-op notes and read the following unflavored powders:

1) Designer whey isolate (contains 1g added sugar…deal breaker?)

2) Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard (1g added sugar)

3) Inspire Bariatric: 24g scoop, 92 calories, 20g Protein, at $2.10 per serving (expensive)

4) Syntrax Nectar Unflavored whey Protein Isolate: Calculated to compare to others, 22g scoop, 20g protein, at $1.02 per serving (reasonable)

Has anyone tried Syntrax nectar Unflavored? Taste, smell, texture?

Thanks!

I ordered the Syntrax unflavored (for oatmeal, Soups, etc.) and also lemonade flavor (for everyday fluids). It had good reviews, and I’m hopeful that the lemonade flavor tastes similar to Crystal Light. At the very least, it looks like the least expensive high quality product. I’ll post again on flavor in a few weeks. 😀

Please do! I am interested to see what you think of the lemonade flavor!

You can buy a sample packet of the Unjury unflavored for just over $2 the only drawback is going to be the shipping. I thinks its around $7 but $9 to try it is and maybe not like it is better than $25 to buy a container of it and not like it.

Update:

The Syntrax Roadside Lemonade flavor is fine. When I mix 30 g of Protein in 3 cups of Water, it is a bit gritty and semi-sweet. However, when I reduced it to the 23 g of protein in one full scoop, and add half a packet of crystal light, it is just right.

The Unflavored Syntrax has only a slight smell in the container. When I mixed 10 g of protein into my oatmeal, it is only slightly perceivable. Definitely doable.

Will continue with these protein powders! Thanks.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
