Flavour Free Protein
Hi Everyone! Newbie here...I don't have my date yet but it's looking like Jan/Feb 2013. I'm getting things ready and have been looking for a protein supplement that will work for me. I am allergic to egg proteins and therefore have to be careful what kind I purchase. I've been trying out a few different ones but they are either vanilla or chocolate. I find the flavours a little over powering. Are there any "egg free/flavourless" protein supplements out there?
another newbie question....
I'm great with acronyms lol
I like GNCs pro performance whey iso burst unflavored and love it!
I run The O.W.L.S. (Ottawa Weight Loss Surgery) Closet. We are a local clothing exchange and social group stemmed off of a couple of the local support boards on Facebook and also OH members for those having had or going to have WLS. We meet monthly for a large clothing exchange and potluck in the East end of Ottawa.
Feel free to contact me for details or add me on facebook: "Evie Katt"
Thanks Dee! What do you do with the unflavoured stuff?? Just curious...do you add it to food or make your own smoothies/shakes?
BTW, it was so great to meet you and get to know you a bit better on Saturday, I love your forthrightness and willingness to share your journey with us newbies!! AND I love your sense of humour!!
Blessings,
Kim

Awww thanks...it was great to meet you too...
i mix the protein powder when I make smoothies...I don't measure but here goes... Abt 1 cup of soy milk...1 frozen banana, 2/3 cup another frozen fruit...2 tbsp of protein powder...about 2-3 big tbsp of 0% plain Greek yogurt......blend well...I ave to add soy r regular milk or water till blended smooth.... I will get 1x 500ml travel mug for my son.... 2x 250ml for my daughter and I... And even 1 x250ml for later
i will also mix it with milk for a latte and a davinci flavoring for a zing... I will heat the milk up at night
I too prefer flavouring my own shakes and such so for me it makes more sense to have the unflavoured powder. Like I mentioned earlier the vanilla flavour, while yummy is very over powering when I aim to enjoy my blueberry smoothie.
Thank you everyone for input!! I'll look for them! The bulk barn is my friend
at almost 4 years post-op my advice would be (don't) go overboard with buying in advance
...your tastes and preference will change..I had a difficult time I must have tried at least 12+ different types/flavours/pre-mixed etc etc before I settled on the brand and type I use to this day (4 years later).
you have to go in also knowing that even non-flavoured has a flavour...and being able to use SF syrups and other items the further you are out to make it enjoyable will go a long way
I currently use IsoPro- low-carb (unflavoured)..but I have no clue if its egg free.
prior to surgery 323lbs....4 years post-op maintaining between 108- 114 lb loss.
life is AMAZING when you continue on the right path~!. Use your surgeons gift to the fullest~!
