Samples?

[shellbelle 4]

I am post-op, no surgery date yet but it will probably be just after Thanksgiving. Anyway, my question is this: I have heard about a lot of different Protein powders and shakes and I was wondering if anyone knew where we can get samples of the different varieties to see if we are going to like them before buying a whole box full. I'm also wondering if there is a tasteless, unscented powder that we can add to our own broths and shakes to make them protein - especially if the protein varieties are gross. I know that our tastes will probably change post-op so I don't plan on buying too much before surgery but a lot of these powders have to be ordered and I would hate to pay shipping on a case of product and then not like it.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Unjury see a sample pack that includes 2 packets each of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry sorbet, chicken Soup and unflavored. I added 1/2 a scoop to a small carton of greek yogurt and couldn't even tell it was there.

Go to the food forum and you'll find a whole list of places you can get samples.< /p>

If you have a GNC near you, they will let you return things you don't like. It's smart not to buy much before surgery, because people's taste for things does change. I bought an unflavored Protein powder at GNC but it is not tasteless. If I put it in something with a strong flavor, such as crystal lite, it wasn't too bad.

You can also get unflavored from unjury, and I'm sure they have samples listed in the food forum.

these are supposed to taste good. Mine haven't come in yet because I just ordered them yesterday. This brand was suggested to me. Its called nectar and is supposed to taste awesome. It comes in a variety sample pack at http://www.mybariatricpantry.com I also bought an unflavored Protein Powder. I also ordered Isopure samples it is bottled like a sport drink but has a lot of Protein and is supposed to taste good also.

the Unjury unflavored is pretty good, the dietician gave me a few samples, i put it in yogourt, smoothies, and pudding and i havent been able to taste it at all.

Tons of samples. Good luck!

Also, GNC will let you buy and return unused portions.
