Protein Powders
I am trying to find small jars of unflavored protein mixes. All I can find are the huge ones and I don't want to waste my money on something I don't like. I am looking for something that I can put in coffee, tea, etc that won't affect the taste much or the thickness. I would love suggestions on how to get all the protein in that is needed while still eating regular foods. Thanks for your thoughts and response to this post.

Shelley,
My doc had something new called Beneprotein from the makers of benefiber. I bought 2 little packets and they were 6 grams each of protein and 25 cals. They had no taste and didn't thicken my coffee. I would think you could get it at walmart but I haven't looked there. I drink about 3 cups of coffee a day so that would be 18 grams of protein. FYI the can was $15 at my docs office and was about the same size as a baby powder formula can.
Hugs,
Bridget
Hello Shelley ~
Here is a link to a post I sent to the VA-board several weeks ago - there are two companies (with toll free numbers) that will send you "free samples" for the asking.

You may want to read a few of the responses first. Several people mentioned how they were able to get a variety of flavors sent to them at no cost.
Hopefully the numbers are still working and the samples are still available - like I said the post is a few weeks old.
Good luck to you ~ Lei
Unjury is great but you shouldn't put it in hot things. The best I have found is the unflavored brand by Shaklee. You can cook, bake, and put it in hot drinks. I found a rep here in my town who also has had the surgery and that is how I found out about it. For cold things and if you want flavor I would always recommend the Unjury too because it mixes so well. The Shaklee brand mixes right away too though. I bet if you found a distributor you could get some samples.
