Justine13 264 Posted July 26, 2012 Has anyone tried the Unjury chicken broth flavor? No offense to the company (because I plan to buy the unflavored Protein powder) but that had to be the most God awful stench ever. I smelled it and gagged. So I thought "well I'm always such a picky eater" so I had my coworker smell it. She gagged. Wondering what other's opinions are and other suggestions? I don't want to get sick of the Protein Shakes (so far is all I like). I do plan to use the unflavored to add to sf Jello etc though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VACookey 111 Posted July 26, 2012 The chicken Soup is really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justine13 264 Posted July 26, 2012 So that's different than the chicken broth? I can't imagine it would be much different. I have too picky of taste buds I guess. Blech Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delta..Make it Happen 29 Posted July 26, 2012 i add the unflavored Unjury to my creamed based Soup and it taste good. i cant even taste the unjury. i dont add a lot . i just add a little. a little is better than no Protein at all. 2 Justine13 and Red597 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karenb4729 309 Posted July 26, 2012 I loved the chicken broth - it was such a great savory change from all the sweet flavored Protein. I would have never made it through the first couple of weeks after surgery without it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mesaucedo 207 Posted July 26, 2012 I thought it tasted amazing! I didn't really smell it though. I agree that it was a nice change from sweet drinks.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justine13 264 Posted July 26, 2012 Wow- oh my gosh I'm in trouble then :-). Thanks for the feedback everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tlaff79 117 Posted July 26, 2012 I gagged too! Was so glad it was just a sample pack from my doctors office. 1 Justine13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allnewme 262 Posted July 26, 2012 I think we all have to adjust our tastebuds for this journey. Protein in drinks does taste different, it is not Campbell's Soup by any means. It is one of the things we are allowed to have before and directly after our surgery to give some good nutrition to our bodies as they heal. It is just for a short time and then we will be having our yummy creamed Soups again. I am thankful that it is only for 2-3 weeks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffany Talbert Corbet 46 Posted July 26, 2012 Have you tried making it with chicken broth instead of Water? I tried it, and like it was said earlier, it didn't taste like Campbell's, but it wasn't aweful. I also found some Swanson's concentrated flavor packets to add a little to as well to bump up the flavor a little. Work with the flavoring by adding spices, etc. to see if you can get it to your liking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chimera 644 Posted July 26, 2012 Other brands of the Protein chicken Soups I like and used a lot right after surgery - when my tub of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury arrived and I opened the cannister I just about fell over it smelled so bad - someone here compared another products smell to "my old hamster cage" when she was a kid - omg that cracked me up, but that is exactly what that stuff reminded me of, nasty smell I am the queen of giving away the Protein stuff I no longer like or can no longer tolerate at my support group meetings - I had not one taker on the French vanilla flavored Bariatric Advantage Vitamins though lol - just got a room full of sourpuss faces, I think it is a universal yuck on that flavor I used these and still like them. When I could have full liquids I strained the veggies and noodles out and they were satisfying with no hamster cage smell - not as much protein as the Unjury, but a compromise I made. http://www.familybariatric.com/store/product/113/Soup-Homestyle-Chicken-Soup/ http://www.familybariatric.com/store/product/111/Soup-Cream-of-Chicken-w-Veg./ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allnewme 262 Posted August 7, 2012 I finally opened my chicken Unjury yesterday, had put it off after reading all these postings. I did not think it smelled bad and I mixed it first with 1/4 cup cold Water then added hot water and it was not lumpy at all. I really enjoyed the flavor and the warmth. Just shows that everyone has different tastes and we have to try things out for ourselves to see what we like and what we don't. I still have not braved the Isopure test, maybe today!

Shelleypg19 11 Posted August 7, 2012 I add the chicken Soup flavor to mashed potatoes and other types of food so I can't even taste it. The Bariatric vanilla Vitamins suck. I am stuck with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Des0520 28 Posted August 7, 2012 I couldn't do it either. That smell killed me and I tried both the chicken Soup and the broth. I did better taking the unflavored powder and adding it to swansons chicken broth. Using the unflavored Protein in anything and everything you can think of will help. I got tired of sweet Protein Shakes so I started making veggie shakes and tossing that in there. After my surgery I lived on protein shakes, Jello, and these Soups from Whole Foods (blended to liquid) because I didn't figure out the broth trick until about 5 weeks post surgery. You'll get creative with what you can do and you can always get ideas from here 1 Justine13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
