Please review : Isopure Cookies and Cream Powder



Recommended Posts

I bought a tub of this at the Vitamin Shoppe. It was $49.95. 2 scoops per serving, 22 servings per container. Each serving has 50 Grams of Protein, 210 calories, 0 carbs, 0 sugar, and 1 Gm of fat. My question is.... has anyone here used it, and how does it taste? I was thinking I could use 1 scoop as a serving. Should I mix it with skim milk, almond milk or Water? Which tastes best? Before I open the canister I'd like to know how it tastes, and if it's worth the money.

Honestly, I liked the Syntrax Nectars cookie + cream version better. I have 2 tubs in my kitchen, one open one back up. I mix the desert sounding ones with milk - so vanilla torte, chocolate truffle, double stuffed cookie and cappichino.

My go to flavor is the roadside lemonade- it's pleasantly lemony but not strong flavor. Like watered down lemon Jello. No funky after taste and when you go to drink it the smell is once again like jelly no musky scent. I "spike" my shake with either mio, Torani sugar free syrups or crystal light.

a little advice on mixing. Put the liquid in the cup/shaker and then pour in the powder, put on lid and shake. This has gotten the least clumps. Oh, and avoid the blender if your not into foam. I think stiring with a spoon may give you the least foam, but I just use a Blender Bottle I got at target for $7.

If the Vitamin shoppe is near your house look by the cash register for the little sample packs/single serve packs of Syntrax nectars to try out before you commit to the big tub.

Also, Vitamin Shoppe will price match others and itself online, which at my store was $4- cheaper than the shelf prices.

I also got a little formula holder from the baby isle at the Walmart that has 3 compartments to hold Protein powder and a easy pour spout to throw in your purse and take with you. The packets are expensive and hard to open without sissors, the thing I got was $5-. I pack all the same flavor and use the lemonade so I can mix with Water which I can buy anywhere.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
