Hi all! I bought the LiquaCel unflavored protein in preparation for my surgery on 12/2/22. I was hoping to be able to add them to broths or soups in order to get more protein during the liquid phase, however, they are really sweet to me (no flavor but sweet) and I'm pre-op so I'm concerned that they will be even more sweet after the surgery. Does anyone have a recommendation for an unflavored protein, even if it's powder that isn't sweet?

I used ISOpure and it was pretty tasteless. The trick is to watch the temp of whatever you mix it into. Over 140 degress and it splits.

Iso Pure is actually flavorless, it is what I used. BUT make sure you add it after you heat up your soup, I noticed my broths and soups bubbled over in the microwave when I added it first,

The dietition at the weight loss center recommended isopure unflavored protein powder. I went and got it right away. When I went into GNC i told the girl that i was looking for unflavored protein powder and that i was in pre-op for gastric sleeve. Before I could tell her what he dietition recommended she said I will show you the one everybody seems to like and she came back with the isopure. I tried it with unsweet tea and it was great to not have the sweetness. I couldn't hardly stomach another sweet protein shake yuck! So I will experimenting with some other liquids. I am on day 8 of 14 pre-op. I cannot wait until next Monday which is surgery day!

Also Isopure flavorless and those with fruit flavor i mix with a little crystal light and golden

The unflavor taste like nothing and has a little smell of powder milk

For sure! I learned that one the hard way!

The other trick I found works well is to do like you would if you were adding cornstarch to a recipe. Basically make a slurry with a tiny bit of cold water & the isopure, then stir that into your soup, broth, etc. Really helps to keep it from having lumps.
