"unflavored" protein to mix with coffee?



Recommended Posts

Hello!

I posted a post about coffee a couple of weeks ago, and I'm happy to say that I am happily drinking my coffee every morning.

I mix in about half a premier Protein shake with my coffee, and drink the remaining shake, and then drink my coffee, and also get in almost half my liquid minimum for the day!

I do struggle to finish my coffee however, because the chocolate Premier Protein taste is strong at the bottom of my mug and it's kinda bitter and gross.

Adding Creamer helps, but then it's harder for me to drink so much liquid in my morning sprint out the door, and if I were to try to drink my coffee on the way, it would never happen. Trust me.

I am interested in either replacing the premier Protein Shake or using less of it in my coffee and supplementing it with some sort of Protein powder, such that I get at least 30 (more would be great!) grams of Protein every morning, as I am interested in upping my protein intake, being almost 9 weeks out of surgery, and my weight loss is starting to stall, so after reading countless posts on this site, I have determined the best thing to do is focus on increasing my protein intake and managing my liquid intake.

So does anyone have any suggestions on protein powders that I can use with coffee and Premier Protein?

One of my 'requirements' is that the coffee should taste good.

@@crazyplantlady, that's what I've done in the past too with my coffee, I've just started adding unflavored Protein Powder from genpro. It really doesn't have a taste, and next I'm going to try Unjury unflavored and chocolate. I love the unflavored cause I can add it to my Soup bowl. The only thing is with unjury the temp of drinks has to be under 140 degrees. If higher it degenerates the Protein. Hope this helps!

I use espresso in the morning and mix 2 shots with 8 oz of unsweetened almond milk and a scoop of the Unjury chocolate splendor for Breakfast. I love it! I imagine if you used coffee and unjury, it'd be pretty much the same. Just make sure your coffee is under 140F so the Protein doesn't denature and get all clumpy.

Thanks guys! I looked at both and decided to get GENEPRO. Hopefully the money didn't go to waste!

I make my coffee in my keurig. I then pour out about half of it. I put in half a scoop of max muscle vanilla Protein (15g protein) and about an ounce or so of fair life milk (about 2 G protein if I remember correctly). I can usually drink all of that. It took me a while to figure out to pour out half of the coffee cuz I never could finish it and didn't get all the protein I put in.

I put in my milk before the protein so that it cools some and the protein mixes easier.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
