How much protein is in 2 tbs of unflavoured protein powder from bulk barn?

I am no longer tolerating premier protein shakes.  I was fine but now I'm looking for alternate protein sources!  I bought the unflavoured protein at bulk barn and added 2 tbs to jello Sf pudding.  How much protein would that equal?  Can I add this unflavoured protein to say, tomato soup?  Any ideas on how to make the premier more palatable? 

Thanks for your responses! 

Iam 5 days out.

enlightenedEvery protein mix is different. You should contact the store and ask them to be sure you have the correct information.

I've done the math a few times for people and there is about 5.2 grams of protein per tbsp of the unflavoured one from Bulk Barn.

here is the nutritional information

 

http://www.bulkbarn.ca/en-ca/products.html?product=3300

100g = 93g of protein

100g = 6.66 tablesppons

93g divided by 6.6 = 14.09

So it works about the be about 14g of protein per tablespoon

There are actually 18 tbsp in 100 grams of this specific powder.  I have it at home and just weighed one tbsp and it weighs 5.5 grams.

 

100 divided by 5.5 is 18

93 divided by 18 is 5.1666 rounded to 5.2 per tbsp

Tracey is right about the numbers. 

 

There was so much discussion on this that our support group weighed and measured it.

You cannot do a direct division due to different things weighing the different amounts.  Everything has different density etc.

 

 We bought the 100 g and bought 100 grams and then measured out by leveled measured tablespoon.

It is indeed 5.2.

Hi, i was reading some posts the other day that said her protein powder did not mix well in soup. So make sure to try a little in separate bowl first. Hope this helps .. Krista..

Sarah, I like the bulk barn protein powder, you can buy a small amount at a time and I use it in my oatmeal in the morning. As for premier, it is IMO the best tasting protein drink there is so if you are having trouble with it you may have difficulty finding others you like. I know some folks add it to there coffee and have a protein coffee another trick might be to pour it over lots of ice cubes to have it really really cold. Best of Luck.

Each of us has different abilities to eat and tolerate some foods post WLS.  I can not stand commercial protein bars or premier shakes, they are way too sweet (and pre WLS I could eat a bag of fudgeeos easy).  I use 3 products from GNC, promasil vanilla soft serve for home made smoothies, their chocolate for home made protein bars and whey ISO Burst as an unflavored one that I add to oatmeal and soups.  The trick I have found with adding the iso burst is to heat the food without the protein powder in it and adding it after the heating process is done, it dissolves and doesn't foam up.  Heal well!

Thanks everyone!  I got 50g protein yesterday and am hoping to surpass that today!  I appreciate your assistance in this matter!
