Question:
Anyone know the name of a tasteless protein that we can add to our foods?
I am looking for a tasteless protein that can be added to to soups, mashed potatoes, yogurt, etc. I went to GNC and the clerk working was unfamiliar with what I was asking for. Any help would be appreciated...thanx! — chance2lv (posted on June 19, 2001)

Karan, I use Designer Protein. It is about $30 for a large canister. I use
the natural flavor, but it does have a bit of a taste to it. You can use it
in pancake mix, or use it mixed with fruit juices/smoothies, etc... It's
not too bad I guess.

My girlfriend swears by Shaklee protein powder. They have a tastless soy
protein powder. You will pay for it but if you cannot taste it I think
it's worth the price.

You might want to ask Michelle Curran to recommend a protien powder that
can be heated. Designer Protien turns into a very unappetizing mass of goo
when cooked, so I only use it for cold foods (sugar free puddings,
smoothies, etc.).

i also use designer protein powder at gnc. i mix a scoop with a slim fast
in the blender and boy does it taste good. i can not taste the protein
powder at all, best of all it tastes like your cheating with a milk shake.

I too use the Designer Protein from GNC. It tastes a lot better than the
stuff offered by my surgeon. No sandy or gritty taste. Sometimes I mix it
with a sugar free Instant Breakfast or add a sweetener to it. I would like
to find a protein replacement that is not in any way a shake but maybe a
clear drink like crystal light or koolaid type drink. Any suggestions?

The Designer natural rather thickens things, but whey proteins lose their
strength if heated. They can be frozen into popsicles, but not heated. If
you want to add protein here 'n there, soys can be heated without any loss.
It is often easier to just find a good whey that you can shake up in 4 oz
of water and get 30g down in 10 minutes. There are powders that taste like
Crystal Light, as well as the shake style ones, but all will shake up in
water nicely, small volume.

I asked this same question several weeks ago. I couldn't handle any of the
shakes or flavored drinks. I had two responses about ProCel. I ordered it
and this is exaclty what you are asking about. It is tasteless and can be
added to beverages or foods (hot or cold)without altering the taste. It is
wonderful. I received mine two weeks ago. I called 800-638-2870 and
ordered over the phone. This is Global Health Products, Inc. The cost is
$22.00 for two 10oz cans (this includes shipping). I mix mine with my
water and crystal lite. It makes the water cloudy, but doesn't change the
taste. It's wonderful. If you have any other questions, feel free to
email me. Good luck!!!!

Karen, I bought a can of The Zone protein powder. It was inexpensive,
tasteless, high protein, and has only 30 calories in each scoop.

try the soy protein sold through most health food stores or
organic health food stores. Lots of protein, tasteless, can be added to
most anything, plus the soy is good for women.
