Uses for protein powder?



Recommended Posts

I see a lot of you mix powder into things. What is it I would look for when going to purchase?

Can you add it to scrambled eggs for example before cooking? If you add it to Soup does it change the taste?

I'm worried about not getting enoug Protein.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You don't want to heat it over 140 degrees or it'll clump. U can add to Soups, mashed potatoes, puddings, etc.

You want yo look for unflavored Protein Powder. I've tried both Syntrax Nectar and Unjury and both are fairly equal. I've seen good reviews on Jay Robb, too. Premix with a little liquid in a Blender Bottle and don't heat over 140 to avoid clumps. Even though it's unflavored, it does have a distinct whey flavor. Most foods, Soups, etc will mask the taste, but I wouldn't mix it in Water or tea, etc.

I agree with kindle. I've used the Unjury and it does have a distinct flavor...there is no such thing as flavorless whey Protein, but it can be masked. I don't know what stage you're at, or if your at a full diet, but Soups, mashed potatoes, sf puddings, homemade smoothies, etc all hide the flavor pretty well.

eggs have some good Protein numbers by themselves don't they? I also think that some of the egg beaters have increased protein. But I made the mistake of getting some oatmeal over 140 getting mixed with some Unjury protein. What a yucky mess.

I add chocolate Protein to coffee. Mix with a small amount of cool Water first then add the coffee in a shaker.< /p>

      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.
