Question:
Are any of the protien powders out there really tasteless?
I'm 4 weeks out from RNY and have lost 15 lbs so far. I'm looking for a little variety in protien supplements. I've tried Unjury, but I can't tolerate the "whey" taste/smell. I do best with Isopure drinks, but need a little more variety. Thanks for any suggestions. — sbldrn (posted on September 24, 2008)

I went to gnc and tried the Amplify. It comes in different flavors but I
am using chocolate and vanilla. You get 20 grams of protien per scoop and
if you us skim milk you can add another 8. Three drinks a day gives you
more than the miniumn of 70 grams. It is a little pricey but I can drink
it with no problem and feel so full after. It is the Whey protien.

I'm almost 3 months out and the taste/smell thing doesn't get much better.
I too thought Unjury was awful. So far, Isopure Vanilla and Nectar's
Roadside Lemonade are my best bets but I never have the Isopure on it's
own. I add a few strawberries to it or mix a scoop of Lemonade and a scoup
of Isopure. Sugar free coffee syrups helps some too. Starbucks Vanilla is a
lifesaver. In the lemonade, I'lll add 2 pumps of SF cherry syrup or a few
strawberries for something different. Also on days when I'm really
sensitive to scent and taste, I'll add more water or a drip of real vanilla
extract.

NOPE! Only intravenously! They mostly all smell and taste like monkey
butt! Protein supps are sooooooo incrediably a personal taste....Just like
picking out a perfume...There is not one scent that is right for all...You
gotta find that one that YOU can tolerate...and it's NOT easy if you have
can't tolerate whey...I had the same trouble! It took me 5 years to find
two I like....EAS makes a soy isolate/whey blend that I like...and Muscle
milk tastes GREAT, but it doens't agree with me in a full dose...Can only
do half a serving of it or I will hurt! Good luck!

Welcome to the losing side!! I had a problem with gagging on the sweetness
of the sugarfree stuff...so for me personally, the Unjury unflavored and
the unjury chicken soup flavor were the best bets. I have now found that
flavored water by nestles is the only water I can drink unless its plain.
Good luck to you! and Congrats!

Okay, I thought I would NEVER find a protien supplement I could tolerate at
they all tasted and smelled NASTY and made me want to vomit at even the
thought of them! Seriously, I think I tried about 15 before I gave up.
But then a God send arrived! A friend of mine developed CLICK (see the
pink and black banners above? www.drinkclick.com). I didn't want to try it
with all of the bad experiences I had had, but also didn't want to let her
down. So I tried it...and now I'm a Click junkie!! It's a mocha espresso
protein drink and you would never even know there is protein in it! No
protein taste, no protein smell....just 12 ounces of delicious!!! Now, it
doesn't have the mega dose of protein like some others (12 oz serving has
120 calories/1.5 g fat/15g protein - check out the website for more
detailed info), but I would much rather enjoy my protein drink once or
twice a day then have to choke back some disgusting brew just to get a big
dose in all at once. Just me!

I'm surprised you have problem with Unjury. I drink the chicken soup most
of the time as it doesn't smell of whey or taste like. I am also using
Nectar. They have about 12 some flavors and haven't had any problem with
the smell/taste with the Nectars at all. Visit www.enjoyhealth.com and you
can order samples for $1.89 each plus shipping. They are wonderful in my
opinion, but everyone has different tastes. Actually, my favorite Nectar
is the Apple Ecstasy. It tastes just like a sour apple Jolly Rancher, if
you like that as well.

I like the advant edge brand. I just get vanilla but it does not have a
strong taste. It is soy.

Hi SB
I always remind people that you can return anything you buy from us. But
to be honest, we don't get much back...
For the first month or even two months, the surgery can have a particularly
strong effect on your taste buds...
What flavors of UNJURY have you tried, and what did you mix them in...?
Kind regards

Tasteless protein powder.... not that I've found. I prefer the whey
taste/smell to the soy, but hate them both. Egg whites are the best I've
been able to do.
Good luck!

Some people drink the protein with a lid on it. If you can't smell it, you
can't taste it. I perfer a few of the Nectars (Lemon Tea & Roadside
Lemonade) and my personal favorite lately is a Elite Cafe Moca. I usually
buy both from bariatriceating.com. I also buy from vitalady.com, she has a
great chewable iron supplement.
