Can you mix protein powder with anything?



Recommended Posts

Unflavored, I mean. I'm headed to GNC today to find a good one. But can you mix it into things like chicken salad? Or refrained Beans? Or even crystal light? My surgeon has his patients going home from the hospital on purée/mushy foods and wants us to be able to eat our Protein as soon as possible.

Absolutely! The only caveat is that Protein Powder can't be used in anything that you're heating up to over 140 degrees - the Protein will start to curdle (yuck!).

And also remember that unflavored does not mean "no flavor" It still has the natural flavor of Protein powder it just doesn't have any extra flavors added to it.

What does that taste like? Is it gross?

I have some unflavored from Syntrax which I haven't tried yet. I think it's best if you add it to something that has a good amount of flavor as opposed to something bland. That way, the flavor of the food will mask the Protein taste.

I think they are gross. I can't do the powders. Tried a couple brands of unflavored in many things but between the texture and off putting during an aftertaste I have unused tubs of the stuff! Now I just eat my Protein or drink a pure Protein Shake (35g). Hopefully your taste buds won't be quite as discerning!

      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.
