StacyS 20 Posted March 14, 2011 Are there ANY unflavored Protein powders that we can use when cooking/baking? I read that the whey powder clumps and so you cannot use it in anything hotter than 130... but I'd love to add some Protein Powder to my Soups and dinners. Are there any out there?

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted March 15, 2011 Protein powder does clump if you heat it hotter than lukewarm . I don't know of any Protein powder that you can use that way. You can get BSN Lean Dessert at vitacost.com I think it's 14.99 BSN has all the right types of protein in it that we need I love BSN! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EJStorm 13 Posted March 25, 2011 I went to the Vitalady site and they have about 100 different samples but no nutrition info for any of them. How am I supposed to know which ones are low sugar and how much Protein it has? I am pre-op and want to stock up on samples but I have absolutely no idea where to start on the Vitalady site. Any help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted March 25, 2011 You should call them. They are really good about answering questions. If you are preop, you shouldn't order too much stuff ahead of time. People say their taste changes. things they liked before surgery, they hate after surgery. That never happened to me, but I have heard of it happening to many people. I think the Syntrax nectar sample packets are good for right after surgery because they are thin and you need something very thin the first couple of weeks after surgery.

My doctor doesn't require a liquid diet pre-op, I'm just trying to get a variety of samples to have on hand for after surgery. That way I don't comit to a big tub of something until I've tasted it.

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted May 7, 2011 Just go to the thread where it says to order samples. It's really best to get samples first of anything you are able to try. Right now I am pretty stuck on Gaspari MyoFusion Peanut Butter and chocolate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted May 7, 2011 If you don't have a Vitamin Shoppe near you, you can order the Pro pudding by Body Tech from Amazon.com.. The shipping is very low. It's the best stuff. 145 calories, 4 carbs and 25 grams of protien . Delish! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

exoticheart 5 Posted May 14, 2011 Has anyone tasted these yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted May 15, 2011 tasted what? The nectar products? I have tasted all of them. They are good. The are much thinner than other Protein Drinks. I like mine thick, but these tasted good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
venusblue 17 Posted May 15, 2011 Just wanna recommend New whey, I get em by the boxload at GNC and mix a few with a pitcher of Crystal Light. I get tired of chocolate and vanilla it was nice to have a Protein fruit Punch You can check out other flavors at NewWhey.com I've no idea if they do samples, I personally went to GNC and just bought a couple of shots (about 4 oz each) and loved em!

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted May 21, 2011 New Whey is a collagen Protein. Collagen protein is not absorbed by our bodies. Most of the protein "shots" have some whey in them but are mostly collagen protein. Collagen is made from boiled cow and horse skins and hooves. It is not a good protein!
