Unflavored protein

[LindsayT 596]

HELP! I can't find an unflavored Protein that's not funky. I've tried Unjury and Isopure. Both make me nauseous. The only one I like is collagen, and my diet doesn't allow for that to be a primary protein source.

yes - just because it's unflavored doesn't mean there's no taste. There's just no artificial taste (like chocolate) added to them. All of the ones I've tried do have some taste. I'm several years out, but for the last several years I've only used unflavored Protein powder in baking.

I've considered the Syntrax Nectar, but they never have the single pack assortments in stock and the shipping for a single pack of a flavor I'm interest in that they DO HAVE is too much. I don't want to order a big cannister of it if I haven't tasted it. They advertise it as tasteless and instant mixing.

The Inspire brand isn't bad. It's available at BariatricEating.com. They have a lot of flavors plus unflavored. I like them because I need a low Calcium option to drink with my BariatricPal chewable w/iron Multi-Vitamin that makes me sick unless I drink a little milk with it. Most have between 143-357mg Calcium. Whey Protein cooks if you mix it with something hot or microwave it, so I add it after it's cooled a little and I use a milk frother to mix it good with cold liquid.

They are not chalky, but taste better with milk than Water. You need to stay under 200mg of calcium when taking your Iron supplement. (1/2c skim milk 150mg Calcium, 1/2 sc Unflavored has 10.5mg, 1/2 sc Mexican chocolate has 12.5mg, 1/2 sc Dutch Chocolate 50mg, 1/2 sc strawberry White Chocolate has 55mg). I didn't like the Mexican Chocolate because it's gritty and the cinnamon taste. I use 3oz skim milk + 1oz water with 1/2 scoop Strawberry White Chocolate for a total of 167.5 mg calcium.

They also have a few calcium fortified flavors that have 1150mg calcium per scoop. I've been drinking 4oz milk with 1/2 scoop twice a day (725mg per 1/2 cup/sc) in lieu of a calcium supplement. The flavors are Tropical Coconut and Chai Tea. Other options better with water are Melon Cooler, and Pomegranate Razz Punch.
