Questions about Protein

I cannot stomach the bariatric advantage protein powder.  I dont like thick and rich tastes...  I'm looking for a protein powder that would be similar to crystal light or something of that nature..  Or something completely unflavored so I could add to broth or sugar free pudding.  Any suggestions??

I'm with you on not liking the thick rich tastes.  I did use Bariatric Advantage Strawberry.  I started mixing it as instructed with the magic bullet, but just couldn't handle it.  So, what I did is mix 1 scoop with 6 oz of skim milk.  That diluted the "shake" even more.  I used a shaker cup instead of the blender and found that it didn't get as thick.  Then, I strained it through a fine mesh strainer.  Took care of all the froth and any undissolved powder.

I have some Unjury samples I ordered but didn't use.  I'd be glad to give you.

vitalady.com has some samples you can buy for $2 each.  I have used Nectar by Syntrax for over three years. The Fuzzy Navel flavor is the only one I drink. It mixes with water, 90 cals, no carbs and 28 grams of protein. This company has lots of different flavors and they're all like Tang or Chrystal Lite. You might want to call them as the names of the drinks don't have anything to do with what flavors they are. Like Fuzzy Navel. it says it's peach, even shows a pic of a peach on the can, but it really is more orange flavor.

Good luck!

I prefer the Body Fortress Whey Protein powder that comes in the tubs at Wall Mart.  It dissolves in hot liquids without clumping and is good with skim milk or coffee.  I combine the vanilla powder with some crystal ligh****er, and a little ice in the Magic bullet for a cold drink too.  The strawberry crystal light and vanilla protein powder are my favorites.  I use the cookies - n - cream flavor in my coffee every day.  It's my favorite.

You can do Special K protein water.

You could also do the pre-mixed isopure which doesn't even really taste like a protein drink - more like just a fruit flavored drink or something.

You could also try adding LESS of a particular protein.  There is no rule that says you HAVE to add a whole scoop just because that's what the tub says to do on it.  Most scoops are around 2 tablespoons.  Try using a measuring spoon to measure out 1 tablespoon.  (If you want the nutrition facts, measure out a level tablespoon and weigh the contents in grams on an electric scale.  Do that a few times and average how many grams the "average" level tablespoon of protein powder weighs.  Then pro-rate the nutrition facts according to how many grams an average tablespoon weighs and only use a tablespoon of the protein powder instead of an entire scoop.  You may find that you tolerate it better if there isn't so much of it to tolerate. 

You could also forget protein powders all together and add something like powdered egg whites (available at any grocery store) to brothe or milk, etc.  There is also non-fat powdered milk that can be used the same way.  (The sugars in this are natural milk sugar, but still wouldn't do too much in excess.)

Don't give up.  Your tastes may radically change.  So just because you don't care for one or tolerate it well today doesn't mean you won't in 6 months.  (And vise versa.) 

Hope that helps.

So I ordered the sample pack of Syntrax Nectar..  LOVE IT!  Here is a tip though..  This morning I was excited to try out the cappachino flavor in liue of my normal morning coffee..  I mixed it with ho****er and WHAT A MESS..  Clumpy Clumpy Clumpy...  It never did disolve...  I guess it's made to be mixed with cold water...  Ohhhh Well......

When I mix protein with something I want hot (hot cocoa w/ chocolate protein powder added), I mix it until it is completely mixed COLD.  Then I microwave it to heat it up (stirring it again after I microwave it).  Viola!  No clumps!
