Better Than Bouillon



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am going for surgery next week 9/13/06, and not looking forward to Clear liquids for 10 days, so I was excited to hear about this bouillon that was so good and high in Protein, like 32gm. It does come in some interesting flavors, but I don't see the protein. I just bought the beef and it says 1gm, so, am I missing something? I'm looking for the person who posted about this who might can fill me in. I love this forum and all the info. I've gotten.

Heading for bandland. Down 8lb on preop diet. Excited. Leaving tomorrow for TJ.

Thanks for any info.

I'd like to revive this thread. I also went shopping for this product. Last night I stood in the aisle in my local supermarket checking the labels of all four varieties of BTB, beef, chicken, mushroom, and vegetable. Not one of them has over 1gm of Protein per serving.

Can anyone out there tell us what is the product that has all the Protein?

i remember that post too and check out the BTB jars.

Guess the poster made a mistake. Label states the amt. of Protein.

I was hoping that perhaps she was just mistaken with the name. Hopefully someone out there knows of another bouillon that is high in Protein. I thank the poster above me for posting about unjury chicken flavor. Would anyone know if there is a mushroom or vegetable bouillon out there with good protein?

I use the Unjury Protein powders and you can sprinkle them in the broths that you normally buy if you want to do it that way. 30 grams of protein is how much I shook in and that way you get a bunch at a time. It comes in unflavored, choc. van. straw. or kinds. Good luck.

I too am looking for the Better than Bouillon that is high in Protein. The only jars I saw at my Wal-Mart had 1gram.

There is no Better Than Boullion that is higher in Protein. All of the products have 1 gram or less (that I have found). I have been able to find the chicken, beef, vegetable, turkey, lobster, mushroom and ham. I have not seen the clam, chili, organics, nor the vegan ones.

Here's the link to the BTB site where you can order it, it is a very good base despite the lack of Protein as hoped:

Yah I ordered Better Than Boullion off a website cause of whoever had said it had so much Protein. I got three kinds too. I was not happy when I got it and it had barely any. But on the plus side...it tastes great! :)

Try Amazon - they seem to have them all (from other sites).

What you have to watch with Better than Boullion is that some of them list their Protein in milligrams (mg). Our protein intake is measured by grams. So I think part of the confusion is the jar is saying 32mg, which only equals .032g of protein. 1 milligram = 0.001 grams Just FYI, hopes this helps.

I'm glad they have so many flavors.. I have beef & chicken bouillion cubes in my house all the time for cooking, and when I heard someone mention vegetable flavor, I was looking for it this past weekend. All our store carries is beef & chicken bouillion and vegetable broth in a can. I like powder..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
