Isopure clear protein drinks



Recommended Posts

I'm still looking for some Protein drink that I can tolerate enough to have a whole serving. I've heard a lot about the Isopure drinks so I went and got three different flavors to try. I got the blue raspberry, passion fruit, and apple melon. The blue raspberry and the passion fruit were HORRIBLE!! I tried mixing the blue raspberry with some blue Powerade like I saw some people here mention but that didn't help at all. Still terrible. I'm afraid to try the apple one at this point

does anyone like these?

I second that. I started with the powdered Isopure right after surgery. You can't beat the 50 grams of Protein in one serving. Did I like it? No, not really. Did I like what it did for my health and ability to fulfill my daily Protein requirement? Heck yeah. This is more important to me than taste. Unless it causes an allergic reaction or vomiting, you may just have to tolerate. If you have the time and money, you can taste test other Protein drinks. There are a lot out there.

The best tasting protein, in my opinion, is Syntrax Fuzzy Naval and WonderSlim pudding/shakes by Bariatric Choice.

I am still pre op, but I have the Syntrax unflavored Protein and it is not too bad. I dissolved it in Water then poured into my soup/broth after it was heated. I really couldn't taste it. I hope I can still tolerate it after surgery.

The Isopure drinks are an acquired taste but now I do actually like them. Not all flavors. I like the grape and the fruit Punch flavors. You just have to realize that they don't taste like the flavors they are. The orange isn't too bad either. If I haven't had one in a while, I have to get used to it again.

I have only tried the green tea, black tea w/ lemon and coconut. I can't have food dyes. Don't feel bad if you don't like them. There are literally thousands of Proteins drink, shakes and powders out there. You have to find what works for you. Just save your receipts. You can then return any powders or unopened bottles.< /p>

Second this. After so many sweet drinks it's nice to be able to have some Soup with added Protein. I almost exclusively use the Isopure unflavored powder and then use the bottles for my Water. I divide a bottle into 3's and add to my 24 ounce water bottle. That 72 ounces of fluids not counting any other beverages I may have. I use regular vanilla whey from CVS instead of cream in my coffee.< /p>

I just picked up some of these at the store, and am drinking a Grape now. It is certainly not as flavorful as Crystal Light, but to get 20 grams of Protein I'll deal with the taste.

Also picked up their unflavored Protein isolate powder to fortify Soups, hot Cereal, etc.

Those are the Protein drinks, look for the no carb protein. They are 40 gms.

I'm going to try the unflavored powder, thanks

The unflavored powder isn't entirely flavorless. It just doesn't ave any added sugars or flavorings. There is a slight taste to them, but I find it tolerable and easily masked with seasonings.

I was referring to the 40gm no-carb Protein Drinks. At this stage I can't get that much liquid in so today I started with half of a bottle, hoping to get 20gm of Protein.< /p>

@@Sophie74656 The only one I could stand was the apple melon. And they have to be ice cold!!

I too have to have it ice cold! (The clear fruit flavored Isopure drinks) it's really that funky aftertaste for me! So, I get a cup of beef broth, and use it as a "chaser". It seems to rinse out the funky flavor for me. I agree with WL Warrior, nothing else measures up to the Protein count, not to mention the Vitamins and minerals, in Isopure! I don't love it, but I can choke it down.

For me, Grape, alpine punch, and (surprisingly to me) mango peach were the most tolerable flavors.

      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!!
