Re: Other ways to use Protein Powder

Hi Rita,

I am interested in knowing what brands of unflavored

protein powder you use and where to obtain it.

Thanks,

Pat

HI,Seems

a lot of people have problems getting their protein shakes down.

I found what may be a solution for some. Jello

with Protein. Take one package of Sugar-free Jello and make as usual.

When it is well mixed and starting to cool down. Add Unflavored Protein

Powder according to package directions to be equal to 2-8oz shakes (with

my soy powder it was 4 scoops, 2 for each 8 oz.). Mix well, use an

electric mixer if possible. Makes 4 servings, equal to 1/2 a shake.Mine

jelled into 3 layers. The upper and lower layer contained most powder

and had a different texture, but not unpleasent. Add a little

Cool Whip and eat your shake. I think I prefer

this to shakes. Rita Black

Pat:

I know there are lots of choices but the unflavored protein powder we have found that sits best with us is Zero Carb Isopure. The Zero Carb is misleading as we use Lactaid Milk and frozen fruits to make our shakes so they have a fair number of carbs. It is available at most health food stores and locally at GNC just down the road from us. Many supermarkets also carry it. I would point out that is a very individual taste and what works for me may well not for you. Try small sizes until you hit on the brand you like. YMMV.

I don't know if this is true or not, but I am pretty sure that I read

somewhere that the protein breaks down fairly quickly once it has been

mixed with something. This would mean that you wouldn't want to make

more than one serving at a time, which would be pretty difficult with

Jell-O. I am not sure of this, but would hate to see someone think

they were getting adequate protein when they may not be.
