Genepro clumpy - how to mix



Recommended Posts

Howdy - I've been reading so many mixed reviews about if GENEPRO really has 30 grams of Protein or not.....but since I have it, I am going to use what I have.

People say the mix it in food and coffee. I just put a scoop in a cup of Tomato Soup, and it was clumpy and nasty and I had to toss it out.

Is there a trick? Do you have to dissolve it somehow before adding to hot liquid?

Above 140 degrees tends to have issues.

I make a paste, slowly adding more liquid until its smooth

I use mine in my coffee every morning, I put my half and half in the bottom of my cup, add the GENEPRO (sprinkle the scoop over the top, don't dump it in as one clump), stir it up well with a fork, then add the coffee. I have a high-end automatic espresso machine that dispenses at about 185 degrees, so the milk does the trick :) If you can't or don't use milk or cream, just put a few T of Water in the cup and do the same, then add the hot beverage. Definitely DON'T add the Protein powder to cold liquid then microwave it...that's a disaster.

For hot you must put it in the bottom, then add hot liquid. For cold, add liquid then gene pro on top. Mix with fork

I drink my coffee black. But use it in my coffee each morning. It sort of turns the color as if I've added a tad of milk. It I add extremely hot coffee I'll get some sediment floating so I try and let the coffee sit.

I blend the powder at cold or room temperature. It always gets clumpy when it's hot (at least for me) I use my bullet blender to mix the Soup and powder while still cold then heat up what im having. Works like a charm! I even mix it in with my flavored Water now.

      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.
