Thinner Protein Powder?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone found a Protein Powder that does not become thick and bulky when mixed with liquid? I use Nitro-Peak which we order from Vitamin World. It tastes good, but when I mix it with 8 oz of skim milk, but it's consistency is very thick. Ideally, I would love to find something that mixes more like the consistency of chocolate milk. Is that just a crazy dream?

Unjury (order at their website) - chocolate splendor. Just like good old choco milk when mixed with skim milk.

I can mix Syntrax Nectar's chocolate with 1/2 Water and 1/2 1% milk and and it's like chocolate milk. Very smooth, Fluid - not heavy. Same with their Cappuccino flavor, which I sometimes add 1/2 cup of Decaf coffee to for a stronger flavor.

unjury mixes really well, too.

Kathy, thanks. I do not like it mixed with Water either. But, I did try adding a little extra Water to the too thick shake and it seemed to do the trick. It was not ideal, but it was better.

The whey Protein isolate from Vitamin World is not thick and it absorbs in your body faster. It tastes great !!

Does it come in a chocolate flavor?

Thanks everyone for your replies. I see that nectar has samples. I think unjury might too. I will see about trying some samples since it is so expensive to be out there experimenting with new powders. Luckily my family likes the ones we have so they won't go to waste if I find something new.

It's best to get the nectar samples straight from Syntrax. Then if you like it Bariatric Choice has the best price I've found.

Both Unjury Protein powders & Syntrax Matrix have the consistency of milk, of high quality whey, taste good, & very filling. Sometimes I add ice w/the milk & make a shake in blender. I love Unjury unflavored mixed in my Soups & mushy foods. Doesn't change the consistency in most things, except applesauce. Can even put both brands in coffees & teas. :)

I love the Syntrax nectar shakes. I have chocolate truffle, Cappuccino, double stuff oreo, and strawberry mouse. I mix it with light soy milk.

On my pre-op diet, I loved the Bariatric Advantage shakes but, dang, they are way too thick now. :( My husband likes them though.

Oh... and I'm one of those folks who don't care the Syntrax fruity drinks. (Lemonade, ice tea, cherry, etc.) I like the creamy ones. I wish I could drink the others as that would open up a whole other line of drinks. I need to order the vanilla bean torte.

Vitacost.com has the Syntrax Nectar about $3 cheaper than BariatricChoice.com. And you can get $10 off your first order with free shipping for orders over $20 if you sign up here. I've had good service with them. :)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
