AuntDD 0 Posted June 18, 2013 I am about a week away from starting my liquid diet before surgery. Not sure which unflavored Protein Powder to get. Several people have said the one at GNC and Unjury taste like fish. I could use some help. I would really hate to get a big tub of something and not be able to use it. Can you guys give me some ideas? Others have also said Show me the whey is good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vixynne 695 Posted June 18, 2013 I just bought a container of Syntrax Medical unflavored Protein and I don't think it has a strong flavor at all. I wouldn't use it in something too bland (like adding it to unflavored yogurt), but in something that's got a good flavor, I can't taste it, and it dissolves instantly, without chunks or grit. Here's a link where the price is $15.90 plus shipping--which totals out to what I paid for it in a local health/bariatric supply store. http://www.allstarhealth.com/f/syntrax-nectar_medical.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may have a specific time period, but you'll know after a time or two if you like it or not. I took THREE different ones back. I did learn, unflavored does NOT mean no flavor, it just means it isn't choc, strawberry or vanilla!!! I never did find one I liked, powder or liquid. I ended up using Protein Shots from GNC, did not taste any better, but they're 3.5 oz, much easier for me to get down, a few sips at a time. Hold my nose and rinse my mouth out afterwards, just like a kid taking yucky medicine!! Good luck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
megansmommy123 57 Posted June 18, 2013 I've been struggling with Protein powders. They all taste gross to me. They have a nasty smell and pre-taste. I finally found one I like! Isopure low carb dutch chocolate is great! Its not a sweet as most of the others, and not as thick. One scoop mixes in 6 ounces of Water, (I use milk), and has 25g of protein! So if you do 2 scoops, 12 ounces of liquid, its 50g protein! I got mine at GNC.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mytime2shine 229 Posted June 21, 2013 Unjury has a Starter Pack -- 2 packets of each flavor. With shipping , it's ~$27 I ordered it & love it!! Not as thick as others & good taste I've now reordered containers of the ones I really liked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thenewsue 13 Posted June 21, 2013 I was told by manager at Vitamin shop to get clear Protein instead of unflavored I haven't tried it yet but he says its much better and has no flavor he also said stock is better than broth -my dietician agreed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
