How do I get the taste of whey to go away!

[cloud9 29]

6 weeks post op here.

Trying to find flavors that will disguise the taste of whey Protein found in the powders.

I have to move from pre-mixed shakes to powders because it it cheaper in the long run. Need to watch the $$$$!

Bananas + PB2 + chocolate (sugar free syrup) so far is only thing I have found that will cover the flavor of whey. But I don't like all the carbs in bananas.

I tried upping the PB2 + chocolate but it gets way too sweet

I am also working my way (no pun intended) through the various recipes on this website. However I am using my powders and that is not cost effective.

realize that everyone's taste buds differ....but I could sure use some help here. something low in carbs and sugar free ideally.

I'm still pre-op, but I have 3 weeks to go so I'm already doing shakes and experimenting with what works best.

So far, I've got almond milk, Protein powder, PB2, fat free greek yogurt. This morning was the first time I added the greek yogurt and my shake was great. You might want to try the yogurt.

Hi,

I'm about 3 weeks form surgery and also drinking my meals. I was wondering what PB2 is?

Thanks!

PB2 is powdered Peanut Butter but with about 85% less fat. Tastes really good!

I found it in the health food section of our grocery store.

You can try adding a couple of tablespoons of powdered dry milk to the mix.......with the PB2......works very nicely in chocolate shakes

Ive been the biggest on this the smell makes me dry heave and vomit, but i finally found ready to drink ones by pure protein.... Can get at wal mart in choc or vanilla or order online other flavors and Vitamin Shoppe carries too... 2.40 each but worth it and not like buying other groceries..... Nutrishop house brand forza has mint choc powder but only avail in 5 lb container, no smell or foul taste tho..... Other than that i cant handle nectar, Isopure, chike, or bariatric specific brands.... Good luck

I am right there with you on the smell as well. I will give the Nutrishop house brand forza a try (no smell or foul taste is up my alley!!) Thank you!

Thank you sincerely. Tried the greek yogurt and it did make a difference. This recommendation is a keeper for me.

Closest Nutrishop is 5 hours away but in a town I will be visiting in November - so will put it on my Go See list while there!! I also tried to purchase online but they do not offer such - darn it could not find it on Amazon either. Thank you again!

You might try calling store and letting them ship it to u.....

A friend of mine that is a weightlifter said to try the whey matrix variety rather than the whey isolate - he said it mixes better and tastes better. The brands he recommended were BSN Syntha 6 and Muscle Farm Combat.

If you go to Vita cost or Amazon they will do free shipping At certain price point I would just order an individual can of some of the pure Protein flavors I recommend Cookies and cream and then chocolate and maybe pick up some Vitamins or something else you might just be needing and just try cans they really are the best thing, And you can order them individually and just get one if you want to try it... i won't drink anything else. Plus you can't beat 35 g of protein for 11 ounces
