Just looking for feedback on this Protein drink-my Dr.'s office made it sound like THE answer to the protein intake question! but i am surprised if it is that good that i don't really see any references to it here?

does anyone know anything about it-=and suggestions on which flavors are best? thanks guys-this board has made my whole day-SO SO SO glad to have found it!

I have tried the tropical flavor and it was good. It was almost $5.00 foe a bottle at the GNC store. It was ok for a treat but it's a little costly for daily use as far as I am concerned.

Good luck!

When I was on the clear and full liquid phase, it was a life saver (I'm referring to the Isopure clear beverages). It's not the greatest tasting stuff ever, but better than some other choices. I also found that it was better very cold or over ice. Some people have problems with cold liquids after surgery, so be careful with that. I drank at least one everyday while on the liquid phase. It helped to get in Protein requirements and curb hunger pangs. I have only tried the fruit Punch and Grape Frost. Personally, I liked the grape the best, but that's a matter of personal taste. You can order other flavors from GNC and other places online, but I think you have to buy in bulk. I don't use them now that I am on regular food, though. They are expensive and feel fuller longer with food-which is how the band is supposed to work. Hope this helps. :)

I bought the tropical ones for while I'm on the Clear Liquids. It is terrible warm but when refrigerated or on ice its not so bad. Mine came in a pack of 6 8oz bottles for about 5 dollers. Another good one is Unjury which was recommended by my doctor. You can go to unjury.com and order it. I think GNC may also carry it. Good luck :)

I have 3 big containers of the powdered Isopure from GNC. vanilla, chocolate, and banana cream. I like the Vanilla and Chocolate ok. They tasted better than some other Protein Shake mixes I've tried. They are not over sweet. Good for mixing but I can't say that I "love" them. I usually mix some frozen fruit with the vanilla or a sf coffee mix with the chocolate. I also throw in sf vanilla flavoring sometimes. And I like it blended in a bullet type personal blender. I like they are low carb and 50g of Protein. So that's out of the way with one shake. But still I do not look forward really to drinking them every day. Would like to find something better tasting. But they are "ok". Do the trick. That kind of thing.

I only use the Isopure shakes (not the fruit flavors). I like the vanilla and chocolate...one benefit to the is that they are lactose free which is great if you have lactose issues. They have 25g Protein and no carbs per scoop.

That said, each Nut or surgeon has their favorites. Since you will be drinking them for a while I suggest you test several different brands to see which ones you like best...

I have tried the Isopure Plus clear drinks (Fruit Punch and Grape Frost). By itself the taste wasn't bad. I like it much better after dropping in some Crystal Light.

i didn't like the Isopure at all, it left really funky tastes in my mouth.

I love Isopure the big bottles. I have 1/2 that I will sip on during the day, then down the other half post workout with my trainer. I keep several kinds of Proteins around as I get bored easily

The Isopure clear liquid is nasty! I couldn't even swallow any flavor. The only thing that gave me Protein on my clear liquid diet was the Unjury chicken broth. Needless to say during my clear liquid portion I did not get nearly enough protein. For full liquids unjury all the way

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
