None Sweet Liquid Protein

[MoreganK 164]

So, anyone have suggestions or tips for full liquid diet that is not sweet, but still has lots of Protein? I can tell that I'm going to sick of sweet shakes pretty fast. At least I see a positive in that, I won't want anything sweet!

*sigh* I hate when I see grammar or spelling issues after I post. D'oh.

Unjury makes a chicken stock flavored Protein. You can also use unflavored Proteins. They are not flavorless, but do not have added flavor, and IMO aren't nearly as sweet. You could mix it with any non-sweet drink you like. You can also take something like protein nectar and make it not sweet. My dad (he has a lapband) mixes Syntrax Roadside Lemonade with iced tea to make a Protein Drink similar to an Arnold Palmer.

Oh! That is an excellent idea. I have some of the Roadside Lemonade at home. I'll for sure try that.

I am wondering about mixing unflavored Protein Powder with a low sodium v8, or the like. I've not tried it, but it seems like getting your veggies with your Protein would be a good idea.

I have a juicer and was wondering if I can add some unflavored Protein to freshly juiced veggies ( not fruits because of the sugar). Thanks for posting because I too am worried about too many sweet shakes. I know about broth but wanted to know other options too.

[MoreganK 164]

Those are good questions. I've never actually had a V8, but if its an option I'm totally up for trying it.

I learned what happens when you mix Bariatric Advantage's chicken Soup in Water that is too hot.

I've purchased a food thermometer and will try again.

Oh, had I thought of it I would've warned against that. I don't know of any powdered Proteins that can be mixed into something that's hot. They all get gloopy.

You can put unflavored Protein into V8. I bought the small (airplane sized) cans of V8 and would mix in some unflavored powder when I was cleared for acidics.

[MoreganK 164]

Yep. Lesson learned! LOL

Good to know that there will be more options!

[MoreganK 164]

Can you mix Protein Powder in cold liquid and then warm up?

Just don't go over 130 degrees and u will b fine or else it clumps
