Users of unjury....I have a question...

I am thinking about ordering it. I bought some protein powder from GNC and it just isn't cutting it! It's unflavored, but I can still smell it. I don't think I've been getting in my protein correctly and I need to change that. What's the best thing out there for me?

I use Unjury. I especially like the Chocolate and the chicken soup flavors. I don't notice any of the usual 'protein powder' smell with Unjury. I haven't used the unflavored yet mainly because I'm on a strict liquid pre-op diet (Drs orders).  Unjury has small single serving packs you can try for a reasonable price. If you like it then you can order the larger containers. Bill

Yea...I ordered them today and I've also have the nectar...but I wanted to be able to mix it with things like refried beans....I'll just have to wait and see what it tastes like when I get it...

Lori-

I use Unjury unflavored and the chocolate. I use the unflavored to mix with Crystal Light and drink it that way. I find that I do a lot better if I put it in an old water bottle....less smell which equals less protein taste (at least for me). I make chocolate protein balls with the chocolate...never tried to drink it though.  I have bad luck mixing my protein powders with food....it has to be the right temp and I can never remember if it's too hot or too cold....lol.

Did you find you had an aversion to the sugar in Crystal Light post surgery? I love Crystal light now and Im excited to know protein will go in it! :)

I didn't. I believe it's made with Splenda, which for most does ok.

Protein balls?

Yep. Here are some recipies.  

PROTEIN BALLS I 1 cup Peanut Butter 1 cup rolled oatmeal -- not the instant stuff 1 cup protein powder 5 packets Sugar substitute Warm the peanut butter in microwave about 30-40 seconds -- it melts it and makes mixing in the other ingredients much easier. Add the oatmeal, protein powder, and Sugar substitute and mix well. (If needed, you can add a little bit of water to make it easier to mix) Roll into walnut sized balls, refrigerate. Store in fridge in zip-lock baggies. This recipe makes 20-24 balls. PROTEIN BALLS II 1 cup of protein powder (chocolate or vanilla) 1 cup of non-fat dry milk 1 cup of rice crispy cereal 1 cup of peanut butter Sugar substitute to taste Cocoa powder mixed with Sugar substitute Add the Protein Powder, Dry Milk, Cereal and Peanut Butter in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly making sure that all the dry milk is in the mix and not really visible. If you like it really sweet, add some more Sugar substitute to fit your taste. Form the mixture into small balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter) Roll in the cocoa/Sugar substitute mix. Refrigerate. PROTEIN BALLS III 1 cup peanut butter 1 cup sugar free honey 1 cup unflavored protein powder 1/2 cup grape nut cereal sprinkle of cinnamon sprinkle of Sugar substitute Mix peanut butter, honey and protein powder together till well blended.

PROTEIN BALLS IV 1 cup peanut butter 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder 1/2 cup low carb special K cereal 3 tablespoon of sugar free maple syrup 1/4 cup chopped nuts oatmeal (not instant) 3 packets of sugar substitute I mixed everything up in a bowl and then rolled them in oatmeal. PROTEIN BALLS V 1 cup protein powder 1 cup peanut butter 1/2 cup sugar free maple syrup or honey Mix together well and roll into balls - about the size of a ping pong ball.
