OK, don't think I am crazy, but

I am not a huge sweet fan.

So I was wondering, are there any protein powders out there that I can add to soup or things like that to add high protein, low carb, low cal to my diet.

Every protein shake I see - vegan or non - is chocolate or strawberry or vanilla or etc etc etc.

Those are fine and dandy, but I get tired of chocolate.


Anyone know of any product like this?

    I don't like the sweet ones either, every one I have tries was WAY too sweet. I use the Now Sports unflavored protein powder.

    *Edit, it's soy protein powder, so it's vegetarian friendly, they also make unflavored whey protein

    You could just add Quorn or similar products? Linda McCartney sausages are like 23g protein for 2 sausages :)

    Quorn mince is high in protein too, even in smaller portions.

    What kind of flavours are you looking for? Here are some from a website I buy from, there are a few that are chocolate though:

    I'm not big on protein powders, but I get the need for non-sweet things. I'm not a big fan of sweet stuff either. It seems to me that I tried a raw protein powder that wasn't too sweet. Might have been Thor's Raw Power. (original flavor, not vanilla) I do add Navitas Naturals hemp powder to my smoothies sometimes though. It has about 16 g of protein per 3 Tbsp and mixes better than some of the other hemp powders I've tried.

    Genisoy has an unflavored protein powder that is vegan. I, like you, do not like my protein powder sweet. It's not the tastiest thing in the world, but blended with a banana and a little water, it's decent.
