Unflavored Protein question

[Christina.Rose 287]

I know there are many preferences out there, but I would like some opinions on the LEAST FLAVORED Protein supplements. Im looking for zero taste or easily covered up. I have read many posts and have some ideas, but I would like to get some specific comparisons between the unflavored powders, liquids etc. I go on my pre-op diet December 2nd and finally need to buy my "shakes". Thanks in advance!

@@Christina.Rose I purchased several unflavored Protein powders and tried them pre-op. At that time I thought unjury and Syntrax were the best. Isopure's unflavored variety smelled horrible to me and I could taste it.

Post-op it was a different story...I used Isopure's low-carb chocolate powder a little, but it's got a weird chemical taste that I just don't like. The unflavored Isopure remains my least favorite. I became sensitive to the smell and taste of both Unjury and Syntrax unflavored, I don't like the Unjury chicken broth, either but do like the citrus flavors of Syntrax Nectars.< /p>

My hands-down favorite unflavored Protein is GENEPRO. I can't smell or taste it in food or drinks and it doesn't bother my stomach. I've been using it for 5 months and am losing very well with it. I recently bought a container of Quest unflavored just to see what it's like and I had to return it to GNC. It was disgusting.

I appreciate the details of your experience. I'm trying to compile everything I read from people and GENEPRO seems to be the "best" so far for lack of flavor.

I like the Unjury products, especially the unflavored Protein Powder and the chicken Soup. It's cheapest to buy it in the canisters instead of the individual packets.

What do you put your GENEPRO in? I have some and tried it with watered down juice (I can't handle artificial sweeteners) and it made it change a weird color and get really THICK. And it was a large glass. Yuck.

I use it in coffee every morning...I dissolve it in some half and half in the bottom of the cup, with a fork, then add the coffee. If you don't use cream, some lukewarm Water works too.

I also put it in refried Beans, yogurt, soup...anything loose or moist works well. And I tried something new the other day that worked fine: I think you probably know about my incessant struggle with meat, so cheese is a huge source of protein for me. I like the La Tortilla Factory high pro/high fiber/low carb tortillas, so I took one of the small ones they made and made a quesadilla like I usually do, but I tossed the shredded cheese in some Protein Powder before I put it in the tortilla. I used the rest of the scoop in the sour cream + salsa mixture I make to dip it in. That little bit of extra effort got me 20+ grams protein in my quesadilla

The secret to Genepro, in my experience, is to mix it into something cold or cool then add it to warm liquids. I add it directly to warm thicker foods like refried Beans with no problems. I don't use it in cold liquids at all, since all I drink is Water. I'd think you could mix it into lemonade, though, in a shaker bottle then let it sit for a few minutes for the foam to settle.

I use a blender and mix one scoop Protein powder with a cup of ice and 4 oz of raw juice. Usually make my own juice and add kale or spinach to the fruit to reduce the overall carbs. But these days most grocery stores have a good selection of raw juice. It can be pricey but it freezes well so you can stock up when it's on sale. Sometimes, if the fruit is tart, I sweeten it with stevia.

I also like it mixed with 8oz of 1% milk (200 calories,29 grams of Protein total)

I like this on days that my protein is low at the end of the day.

But usually I prefer the zero carb version-8oz of unsweetened cashew milk (125 calories 21 grams of protein total).

I can't taste the unflavored protein if I use one scoop in 8oz of liquid.
