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>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
