"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.

      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.
