I have found a great flavorless protein powder. It is called "natural" protein powder. I'll post the brand name when I get home. It is whey protein. There is also flavorless / natural egg white protein powder. It tastes like egg whites -- pretty flavorless -- but tends to make things slimy. Look for the keyword "natural" when shopping.

WTG! Look out for energy plus this week.

You did well to find it in the chemist locally. I had to buy it online, as no chemist near or the neighbouring town had it. Which reminds me, I must buy more, plus I hardly have any shakes left either! Need to shop!!

Hey Jannette, found the Pro 10 Active stuff in the chemist today when the MOTH and I were trawling for "healthy things"!
Took my first lot, so we'll see if it makes a difference. That + Opti = more active me?

Hi Raingold,

I purchased ISS research - Complete Whey Protein today at a health food store...
It's 24gram protein in one scoop and 2.5gram of Carb.
It tastes GREAT! I was kinda afraid when purchasing it... but ended up it tastes fantastic!! Having it at the moment... I purchased the Chocolate flavor :)
I will let you know how it goes...

No you can't use protein powder like benefibre, it is high in milk based proteins.
You have to let hot food cool a little before adding, or it will curdle.

I was adding it to my porridge and soup in the puree stage, but found it tasted like I was adding powdered milk, hence I went back to just adding it to my shakes which are skim milk based anyway.

I use Pro10Active, its Australian made. I don't think it matters which one you use, they would all do the job.

Thanks Gail, but which protein powder? This is where I'm getting stuck. I presume you can add it like we do the benefibre stuff...

Hi Guys,
You can put the protein powder in pretty much anything so it doesn't have to be a shake.
I have read somewhere that it goes in pretty much anything but can't remember what thread it was and it was a while ago. I fried my memory years ago so you will have to go a hunting. LOL

Hugs Gail

I use Kate Morgan shakes with added Pro10Active (protein powder).

They have the same amount of protein as Optifast but taste alot better and come in about 12 different flavours.

Hi Rain,

I might give Optimum Gold Standard 100% Whey protein a try. I will let you know how I go...
Probably is going to use it as replacement shake... maybe for lunch or dinner...

Yools, you looked at the same link huh?
Interesting, isn't it?
I've been trying to figure how to incorporate more protein into my mushy stage diet... looks like revisiting Optishakes is going to be it, but I'd be very interested in reading ideas on this!

Oh I forgot to add,

Has anyone tried Premium Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein shake? It has 24gr protein in one serving!!
Usually body builders drink them to gain muscle instead of FAT. Do you think it's wise to give it a try? Since we want muscle and not fat?

I'm just wondering if there's any more comments or information on these protein powders since you have started taking them. Have they been helpful?

Thanks Libby. They also have a website, and it says you can get it from Pulse Pharmacy. I gotta go out later and pick up my son from work (Maccas!) so I might go and get some.

You can get lots of them online.

I went to http://www.myopure.com.au and ordered the Whey Protein Isolate Powder which is completely clean of any flavour. It dissolves well in all foods.

Yep. I got one from my health food shop. The brand is Balfreys. I add it to the optifast shakes and can't taste them. I only use a shaker and they probably don't blend to well that was but not too bad.

Can you get a tasteless protien powder? I went to our local health food shop and they were all chocolate or vanilla flavour to be made as shakes. The sales girl had no idea. I want something that can be added to just about anything (soups etc). Any ideas???
