How The Hell Do You Drink Isopure?



Recommended Posts

Isopure? More like Isopuke!! I'm trying to find something with a lot of Protein (can't beat 40 grams) in a bottle where I also get 20 oz of Fluid at only 160 calories. If I didn't have such a tiny stomach, I'd just chug it down fast. But I have to sip, sip, sip, and gag, gag, gag. Those Protein Shots are worse. Guess it's back to the shakes. Let me know if you found something tasty out there!

Ok, is a Protein shot an injection or an bar shot? LOL..... I would welcome a daily injection over the putrid protein stuff.

Lol no it's not an injection. The shots are little bottles (I think they're also called bullets) that have 35 g protein. They taste like a medicine-y, super concentrated liquid Jello. The Isopure is a little better, but not by much.

Not to mention they are useless. The protien in these shots is collagen / Gelatin and is not digestible by the human body. So you may drink 35grams of Protein, but your body will absorb none of it.

hahah... Isopure hater here too. Tried 5 flavors and did not like any of them. I use the Premiere Protein pre-mixed chocolate shake (Vanilla is gross) 11 oz has 30 grams of protein and tastes better to me then any Isopure, Unjury, Syntax nectar, Ease I have tried and Premiere Proteins 30g in 11 oz is more per ounce of protein then the Isopure. You can get them at costco and Sam's Club

I need to get some...I've heard a lot about them. I have some EAS ones... But I think I'm a little lactose intolerant. Hopefully they don't bother my stomach too much.

I'm lactose intolerant, but I have tried the mucsle milk (lactose free, no milk) lite, 20-25g of Protein - strawberry, vanilla, choc - and I take them better than any other I have tried. I CAN'T STAND Isopure (I even tried putting a couple paks of splenda in it...that didn't work) :o. It makes me gag...the smell alone is horrible! They didn't tell me that in the seminar. lol

Hope this helps you out.

I've tried several flavors of Isopure and each is more disgusting than the last. Kicking myself over that waste of money because they are not cheap! I keep hearing about Premiere Protein Drinks but am lactose intolerant and afraid to risk trying it. Maybe if I could find them for sale individually I would take the risk and try one but cannot purchase a whole case when I have already wasted so much money on Protein junk to date.

If you are lactose intolerant, Premier Protein is not for you. The best protein for you is a pure whey Protein Isolate.

Now I am scared. I just bought 4 bottles of isopure..... I did not like the vanilla premier Protein so I will try chocolate next. I did like Syntrax nectar though! strawberry kiwi, fuzzy navel, Cappuccino, and double stuffed Cookies were nice flavors! How does everyone feel about unflavored Protein mixes?

I like the muscle milk light. I think around 100 calories. I just ordered a small container of Cookies n cream. Hopefully I like it. I tried the nectar post op and wasn't a fan. I had some Isopure after gallbladder surgery last weekend and it was not the best. I have a container of injury chicken broth that I use once in a blue moon just for a change up.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
