Question:
Looking for Truly Flavorless Whey Protein
Does anyone have a recommendation for a truly flavorless whey protein powder? Most of the samples I've ordered have turned out to be sort of a cream-colored vanilla, but I know folks have found whey protein that they can sprinkle on vegetables and other post-op foods that "disappears" and can't be detected in the foods. Any suggestions? Thanks! — Deborah M. (posted on September 7, 2003)

I don't know of anything truly withut flavor. ProCel vanishes into creamy
things, like casseroles and mashed potatoe dishes. Alone in water is a very
distantly milky in flavor, but not strong. Have you tried other flavored
proteins, such as the powders that turn into juice flavors? There are
hundreds of flavoted proteins on the market that shake up nicely with
water, and yield hundreds of flavors. Like anyone needs more than
chocolate, IMHO, but there they are.

I think it depends on how much you hate the taste of protein drinks in
general. If you don't mind some, you might be able to think there's not a
protein flavor in those supposedly flavorless powders. But I tried one
someone else swore by, and I still thought it was horrible. I think it's
always best to try a sample first before you buy anything, and even then
with the way tastes change over time I still wouldn't buy a huge amount of
anything. Best of luck to you in finding something you can enjoy. S

It's a long, arduous journey of trial and error. Check around and inquire
about samples. Sometimes at the WLS support meetings they will bring in
samples. You may never get two people to agree on the pleasantness or
unpleasantness on all the protein powders out there. Be informed as to
what IS out there and start checking them out. Good luck!

I use Pro Performance Whey Protein Unflavored at GNC. I feel it has no
flavor, but it does make your drink just a little thicker. Not cheap, but
at $1 a scoop for 21 protein grams, plus the 8 grams for the milk I put it
in, I think it is pretty reasonable. It also comes in flavors.

I read about a non-flavored / undetectable in recipes quality whey protein
called Unjury. I saw it as an advertisement that popped up on this website.
Go to UNJURY.COM and check it out. I'm pre-op and have never tried it
so????

hiya~someday there'll be a protein pill (lol) in the meantime, i've found a
couple of protein powders (one whey, one soy) that do a good job
"disappearing" into thing. if you mix the soy one into drinks, it
likes to settle on the bottom so i just stir before i drink but it
"dissolves" really well into casseroles and can be used as a
flour substitute in baking (not all flour but a portion of it), the whey
protein powder does an exellent job blending into foods -- just as long as
they are not heated to boiling temperature (then it clumps because it
begins to breakdown)
so, check my website, in the files section i have a file called "my
supplements" and all the info is in there.

I read a comment on this site about a flavorless protein powder called
Beneprotein that's carried by Walgreen's. Unfortunately, they didn't have
it at MY Walgreen's, but their website will tell you which stores DO have
it. I look forward to having the time to get it myself!

Add a couple scoops of non fat dried milk powder to milk and use it in your
soups, puddings, and drink it plain... you will get the protein from the
milk (8g) plus the protein from the milk powder
