Megabuck886 62 Posted November 3, 2013 Also' date=' I have heard that there is no true unflavored Protein. The unflavored just isn't flavored with anything else. I found that Soup masks the odor/flavor the best , but it is gagful in a drink! I tried adding it to my crystal light, and it was torture choking that down! Blech![/quote']Agree, supposedly some are better than others... I use Isopure unflavored, but I hear powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury is better... They all taste bad to me. I keep trying to add it to Soup, but I like my soup really hot so it always clumps anyone have suggestions on adding Protein to soup when you want it really hot?!

Megabuck886 62 Posted November 3, 2013 I found adding unsweetened cocoa' date=' PB2 powdered Peanut Butter and sweetened with Stevia is the best non Protein powder smelling :-) shake I've had. I must have drank 50 of them before and after. Still like it too![/quote']How much of each? What do you mix it with? Recipe please?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hidden from view 159 Posted November 3, 2013 Yep, me too. Haven't lost a thing in daaaaays. :-( As someone said - goes against science! My grandsons first birthday party today. I ate a sausage roll. It went down really well, then 20 minutes later it started coming back up again! Serves me right for trying to eat rubbish! 1 skikyd reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoryLosesXS 154 Posted November 3, 2013 Milk or Water? I use soy milk due to being lactose intolerant. My teenage son says it tastes the same. We need the Protein and calories, so it's best to use milk or soy milk. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
