Unflavored protein choices?
I just had a 1 cc fill in my lap band and I am wanting to add more protein into my diet - recommended to me by my NUT in 2008 when I had my surgery was 64g per day. I want to get up to maybe 90g a day and cut my carbs down to 70 and eventually 50. Can anyone recommend a good flavorless protein - I want something I can add to smoothies and such so preferably no chocolate or vanilla. I feel like I will never be a good DS'er - I don't like coffee lol - I will never fit in.
On a side note; my 15 month old daughter has decided to go on a meat strike this week so I am trying to get protein into her any which way (she sees her pediatrician next week, but I doubt they'll do anything, she hasn't lost any weight or muscle mass or anything). I have been giving her a high protein yogurt mousse (7g), eggs, beans (she ate a whole 2 bites of pintos and cheese today *le sigh*), blue cheese wedges, her regular whole fat milk, and adding non-fat dry dairy milk where I can. So I am hoping I can sneak some of whatever protein I find that I like in her milk too *sneak*
The only protein powder I can specifically remember trying in the past was Unjury. No, just, no.

One of the better flavorless protein powder is Syntrax medical. Vitalady carries it.

Would like to interject - I use NOW Unflavored WPI as well, and you can get a ten pound bag through Lucky Vitamin.
I use extracts, brewed hazelnut decaf coffee and sucralose (Splenda) to flavor and sweeten. Lots cheaper than buying the WPI in flavors. This way, you can have just about any flavor you want!
My friend had gastric bypass and she buys her protein from smoothie king or tropical smoothie. She loves it, she said she cant even tell shes drinking a protein shake. Which, when we go to the smoothie shops and get protein added it really does taste good. I dont know if that is enough protein for what your wanting. I had lap band and I use the whey protein shots you can get at walmart by the protein shakes and that works well for me in between meals when I feel I need more protein.
