Elizabethe Glickel 17 Posted June 2, 2015 I purchased a container of Injury Unflavored Protien powder and mixed it with Water and crystal lite- it was the most disgusting thing that I tried! So now I have this container and don't know what to do with it! Does anyone have any ideas on how to use it? I see that alot of people mix it with jello- I don't eat jello! I hate to throw it out, but that first taste totally turned me off to trying it with anything else! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesea71 698 Posted June 2, 2015 Mixing it with Jello tastes just like mixing it with Crystal light! I have a few unopened containers still lurking in my cabinets 14 months post-op. I guess I should probably throw them out at this point! Unflavored still has a flavor! Yuck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lexiemia 78 Posted June 2, 2015 I luckily just tired a sample packet. Did the same thing crystal light. It was horrible. I think you can add it to Soups and oatmeal. I did make Jello with it and that was not too bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
julias1119 27 Posted June 2, 2015 I like to mix mine with warm chicken broth. That really masks the taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-52 7,113 Posted June 2, 2015 Put it in a blender with some fresh fruit, a 1/2 banana, Peanut Butter, chocolate, just about anything you can think of...add 8 ozs of almond milk, skim milk, or just Water, and you will have a high Protein, nutritious smoothie to stat the day..... In the summer, add ice cubes to thicken and cool...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the summer, add ice cubes to thicken and cool...... The poster didn't say which stage she's in. I would say just be mindful of the calorie and carb content when doing this. This could easily end up being a 500 plus calorie smoothie if one isn't careful! Also blending things with ice adds both air an volume which can be challenging right after surgery. Not such a big deal the farther you get out, but if your struggling to get every ounce in, you want to make sure you ingest every ounce of protein in that smoothie! Keep in small!

TEXASLADY52 264 Posted June 2, 2015 I use GENEPRO....it is unflavored and oderless. You can mix it hot or cold. I have been using it for the last ten months and I love it. I had a hoorible time finding a Protein drink I could tolerate right after my surgry.....they all gagged me! I mix mine with Crystal Light (or Wyler...it is cheaper) lemonade and sip on it all day.....30 grams of Protein per tablespoon.....so you don't have all the clumping and yucky stuff!

blashlee 509 Posted June 2, 2015 I found the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored was better in things that were heated up, like Soup or in something blended like a fruit smoothie (if you're allowed smoothies) or a shake. When you put it in something just to drink, it gets thick and cloudy and you can definitely taste it. It's unflavored, but it's not tasteless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Debbieduck4 399 Posted June 3, 2015 GENEPRO Protein Powder is the only way to go! I bought mine on Amazon. It's a little more expensive but trust me, it's worth it! 30 grams of Protein in a little spoon full. It is tasteless, and a very light consistency that mixes up and dissolves right into literally anything you put it in whether its hot or cold. I usually add it to my coffee every morning, but have also put it in yogurt, oatmeal, Soups, etc. I also learned about it right here on Bariatric Pal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm 14 months post-op at goal weight and have never heard of it! I'm trying to build up muscle weight so looking to add in some more protein to my diet. Can you tell me how many calories are in a serving? I also looked it up on amazon and came across this review. One scoop may only have 15 grams of protein in it, not 30 grams. Does it actually say on the container a serving size is one scoop? Many can be misleading. I know on my Isopure you have to use two scoops to get the protein amount listed on the label.
