Not satisfied with Unjury

[RaeSavage 82]

I don’t care WHAT it is. I can always taste Protein and it SUCKS! 😖 I tried the Unjury chicken Soup and BLECH! I had such high hopes for it. Everyone loves it. It’s so gross to me.

I found the Unjury Protein Powder to have the least taste of all of the Protein powders that I've tested. Unfortunately, it's also very expensive. I switched to Isopure which has what I term an acquired taste. As for my protein use, I only put it into a 32 ounce water bottle with crystal light I never added it to any foods. This way I get my Water in and I also get my Proteins at the same time. Some here were discussing protein waters and I figured that I could make my own cheaper. I'n two years post surgery and I now get all of my proteins from my foods and I don't use supplements any longer.

You might like the taste of the protein powder if it is mixed with water and a sugar free flavoring.

Thanks!!! That is a good idea!!! I’ll try it.

The powder if done right can be way better - I use the peanut flavored ones and they are taste free when i add them - I am a trained chef so i can pick up flavor real quick -

Also try this one very smooth and virtually taste free - The matrix one available online

Unjury products were one of my favorites - but then, everyone's taste is different. A lot of people love Premier Protein, which I couldn't stand - I could taste the Protein in that one. Just keep trying different brands - you'll eventually find one you like.

I make my own protein water too, works out a ton cheaper.

I didn't like Unjury or the powdered Proteins. I went with premade GNC Lean shakes

Tried the cookie butter one. I HATED IT! But I do like the muscle milk.

I prefer Protein waters. I don’t think I ever found a Protein Shake that tasted fantastic. It was just a necessary evil. Experiment to find what works for you.

I used vanilla protein powder and made my own flavors.

• coffee mocha latte: Vanilla protein, ice, instant coffee Hershey’s sugar free cholate Syrup
• Orange creamsicle: Vanilla protein shake, ice, orange sf Water flavoring
• pumpkin spice: vanilla protein, ice, caned plain pureed pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice
• Gingerbread: vanilla protein, ice ground cinnamon and ground ginger. (maple extract or sugar free maple syrup)
• Root beer float: Vanilla protein, ice and root beer sf water flavoring.

Anyway, you get the idea.

On a positive note, You wont be on shake lifelong. Once you can hit your protein goal with real food stage, you can ditch the shakes😊

Hang in there

Everyone’s tastes are so different! I hated Syntrax Nectars, Protein waters felt like swallowing fine strands of hair that stuck to my throat, Isopure made me ill just to sniff it. I had a hard time finding ready to drink protein without added iodine. A few things I tolerated are:

for protein powder I use PEScience select and I started out mixing it with ripple milk (plant based milk) and then started to mix it in either TwoGood coconut yogurt or plain Fage Total zero Greek yogurt. Has a frosting like texture.

for ready to drink a few options there is labrada lean body (love Cookies and cream) I think it’s called boost max protein (at the grocery) shamrock shakes, and my favorite (plant based) Koia cinnamon horchata. Sometimes I mix cafe bustelo instant coffee in my cinnamon horchata and top with a little almond whip.

Honestly what I wish I had closer to post op were BariatricPal pink grapefruit Protein Shots. And to get extra fluids later on they can be mixed with ocean spray 5 calories juice (I like the grapefruit)

BariatricPal juice protein is also more tolerable to me especially mixed with some ocean spray. You can get a variety pack to figure out the flavor you prefer. Also their protein Soups are more palatable.

Awesome idea, why didn't I think of making my own flavored protein waters??? I just bought about 150 packets of water flavoring yesterday. Preparing for surgery next month and etc. What other tweaks or ideas have you employed during your journey/transformation? Hopefully you will share and thanking you in advance.

Once I was able to incorporate a shake into my meal plan I didn't buy the pre made stuff like premier or muscle milk. I bought chocolate flavored Matrix Protein powder put in skim milk and blended it all together using an inexpensive frother I bought on Amazon. During the warm weather while travelling I stored it in a soft sided cooler with an ice pack
