What brands of unflavored Protein do you like? Where do you buy it and how much does it cost? How do you use it?

Thank you!

I just got Designer whey unflavored powder at the Vitamin Shoppe for $20 for a big 2 lb tub. It doesn't have much of a smell, which is good. I can still "taste" it in stuff a little- but I'm picky. I plan on adding it to crystal light when I'm post op.

I don't use any Protein powders/supplements. I did try them at first, but now I found that I can get my 60g. a day in without using all that stuff. It is expensive and I think even the unflavored ones have a taste. There are lots of them out there. Good luck!! Becky

If you want to add Protein to COLD things, try egg whites. You can get the next to the egg beaters in the cold section of your grocery.

it is 25 calories/5 Proteins per serving.

I add it to my carnation drink and to cottage cheese (i put mine in the food processor because i don't like the texture of CC) and it does not change the taste at all.

I *think* i pay 1.74 for a pint.

I'm allergic to artificial sweetners and most Protein drinks contain some type of them, so i use the egg whites and it's worked out great!

I purchased the Trader's Joe unflavored Protein and it is nasty.

I tried to add to Decaf iced tea and it was so bad, I tossed it.

I'm going to try in hot tea, maybe that will be better.

Buy discount Protein, Vitamins, sports supplements at NutraBio.com.

I buy the 5lb unflavored, which lasts a long time. What I like best is that this is the only company that was able to assure me that their whey Protein isolate was made in United States from American cow milk.

Protein ISOLATE is the best quality and most absorbable form of protein.

The unflavored whey protein does have a powdered milk tasted (kind of like coffee creamer), but I like it. I add it to a cup of skim milk with half a banana or 1/2 cup berries and whirr it in the blender. I also make a Protein shake by adding it to the no sugar added Instant Breakfast with my blender. whey isolate can also be added to cream Soups, your morning coffee, mixed with milk and poured over Cereal, added to scrambled eggs.

What I do now, 5 weeks post-op, is wait until after dinner. If I didn't get my 60grms of protein, I'll use the Protein Powder to supplement my day's intake, which also curbs before bed hunger. When I'm rushed for time and can't eat Breakfast, then I begin the day with an Instant Breakfast Protein Shake.< /p>

Hope this helps!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
