Flavorless Protein Powder?

So I heard there's a such thing as flavorless protein powder.  I'm scheduled to have my VSG on April 12th and would like to get something that will help me get all my protein in during the first few weeks of liquids and mushy foods.

Any suggestions?

I was told that Unjury has the best unflavored powder. I'm pre-op as well and tried to mix it with Crystal Light and gagged! I'm hoping that if my tastes change after surgery it will be better! If not, I'll probably just be using it to mix into pudding, etc!

There are "unflavored" protein powders like Unjury, but there's still going to be a flavor, usually a whey taint.  It's really yucky to me, so I found myself better off with the flavored protein powders I could tolerate.

Good luck!

I was using Unjury and found that if I mixed it with crystal light fruit punch or lemonade I could barely taste it.

I use GNC unflavored protein powder.  It mixed well in soups, SF puddings, yogurt and applesauce.  I don't think I've tried in in anything else.  The trick is to no use in in anything too hot, and not to smell it while you are mixing it in anything.  Good luck.

Doesn't exist......"flavorless" just means it doesn't have an artificial flavor.  It still has that "protein" taste.

Designer Whey Natural flavor works well in crystal light / sugar free drink mixes as well. What little flavor that it does have is not over whelming and is not sweet tasting. I got tired of all the powders being so sweet. Hope this helps

 I found that if I drink unflavored protein in coffee, crystal light, etc, I have to use a lid on the cup.  I don't get the " proteiny " smell and it seems to help me tolerate the mixture a little better.
