Can u recommend an inexpensive unflavored Protein Powder that i can add to hot and cold foods? I'm trying to get a hang of sipping as oppossed to chugging :(. I don't feel like I'm getting enough liquids and afraid of becoming dehydrated.

I think milk is the least expensive Protein liquid. My NUT suggests making double protein milk by adding 1/4 cup powdered skim milk to a cup of skim milk. But if you are lactose intolerant, this would not be helpful.

I have not discovered any truly unflavored protein powder but I am enjoying a wide variety of protein smoothie flavors using vanilla whey protein, no-sugar almond milk, and flavoring like powdered coffee, cinnamon, vanilla, 1/4 cup fruit, a piece of banana, vanilla or peppermint or run extract, sugar-free Syrup, etc.

Some people (not me) like Unjury chicken broth which is protein enriched.

Good luck!

Syntrax Unflavored is relatively inexpensive:

Keep in mind that as with almost all Protein powders, if you mix it with something hot, you need to use a food thermometer and make sure it is under 140 degrees.

Also - unflavored doesn't mean no taste, it just means that no extra flavor such as chocolate or vanilla has been added. It will have its own flavor - easiest to hide the flavor if you mix it with something strong tasting.

Another relatively inexpensive unflavored protein powder is Isopure:

I haven't tried the Isopure unflavored. I do use the Syntrax and find it is fine as long as I keep the quantities relatively low.
