Unjury Protein Powder

I just bought Unjury (unflavored and van.) and it tastes terrible. I used the unflavored in sf pudding (as per directions from Unjury) and all I could taste is the powder...yuck! This morning I had a van. shake with skim milk and the taste and after taste were horrible. Since I spent so much money on them I hate to throw them out...I actually bought 2 containers of unflavored. Anyone have any suggestions on how to use either one of them?

I haven't been banded yet, but maybe someone who has would buy them from you - I know a lot of people on here use that brand.

I agree, the unflavored is disgusting. I do like the vanilla and chocolate mixed in Slender Soy. It's flavored soy milk and the Unjury tastes really good in it.

Try the unflavored in soup. I put the chicken soup mix in regular soup for a better flavor.

I just finished purchasing the unjury powder because I need the protein to help me stay full longer. This is my first time so I ordered one of each sample and the travel pack of the strawberry sorbet since I love all the other strawberry flavored protein shakes. I want to be able to add the plan to my oatmeal to see how it taste. I'm really searching for breakfast and lunch tips so that's why I got the unjury to spice up my meals and add some protein.

I don't like them either, but didn't like the fact I spent so much money, so I am just cutting the amount I am supposed to use to half or less, and it makes a difference.

Marie,

I used the Unjury unflavored also. What I found to best mask the taste (and smell) was the orange flavor of Crystal Light.
Good luck!

Robin

I love the chocolate and I like the vanilla. I don't care for the unflavored. Try using less of the powder to adjust to the taste and smell. Gradually increase and hopefully that will help.

I am totally with you!! So many people on these threads swear by unjury but to put it simply, I'm not impressed!!

I thought the chocolate was bland and the chicken soup is just "interesting"--it's good going down but then it leaves this aftertaste in your mouth.

Like you, I'm using the unflavored in sugarfree fatfree puddings--I'll make them up and have one serving each night in place of a shake (I double up on the protein and put in two scoops). I tried it in Campbell's soup-in-a-can thinking it would be good (and I did NOT make it hot) and it was just nasty!

Some people here say they use the unflavored in mashed potatoes and oatmeal (but again, do NOT make them hot or it will lump up).

Like you, I bought big containers of chicken soup, unflavored, and chocolate. I finally got the chocolate used up last week but still have some of the others--I WILL use them eventually.

Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more has a wide variety of whey protein isolate powders (I use belgian chocolate--yummy mixed just in water!) and I always make sure I get free shipping. They also have the canned shakes and I found one called "Zoic" which has just over half the calories of Slim Fast Lo Carb, much less fat, less carbs, and more protein. BUT, a canned shake is a canned shake -- tinny tasting and only good for convenience!!

Good luck in your search...

How many days does it take to get the unjury delivered? I wonder if it will be here this week or next week.

I used the unflavored in my coffee in the morning - you gotta let it cools some & sf flavored creamer - I used in shakes but added yogurt or some type of fruit - banana are good for covering up taste.

I don't love or hate it - I can taste it - but i only used it in the beginning during liquid stage - I get my protein from food - sometimes a southbeach bar that has 19 grms..

I still have almost full choc - that stuff is just too sweet for me - I got sick of shakes...

I don't remember I ordered it in advance of surgery, but seems like it came pretty quick.
