Question about certain type of protein...

[jpt.30175 45]

So I am 4 years out and trying to get back to the basics.... Have any of you tried the Isopure (comes in glass bottle) that are flavored? I saw coconut, grape etc. just wanted some input!

Also have you ever made Popsicles out of van Protein, almond milk or coconut milk, and fruit? Outcomes?

I drank Isopure for several weeks out of surgery. The numbers on it are great. However, to me, the taste was vile, and I had to mix it 50/50 with G2 or Powerade Zero to choke it down. Some people like it -- I would definitely recommend trying single bottles before committing to a crate.

Syntrax Nectar has some similar flavors and tastes much better IMO. It's also cheaper. On the other hand, it's a powder, so you have to mix the shakes yourself. If that's something you are interested in, you can also buy sample packs of the Syntrax nectar flavors.

I haven't tried making the popsicles but they sound good I would just be careful to count all the calories and carbs. Depending on the fruit you use, that can add up quickly.

Yes what @@Bufflehead said. I drink Isopure sometimes because of high Protein but has a strong aftertaste. Definitely, must be an acquired taste.

They're OK- their specs are good, and they are one of the few choices around for a clear diet. I tried a couple of their "tea" flavors and found them sickeningly sweet. For my taste, the best use for them is to mix them into similarly flavored Jello, but I only use them if I have reason to do a clear diet, otherwise there are better products for my taste. Since taste is such a YMMV thing, if you like them, then go for it - they are a good product.

I got some small bottles to try pre-op to see if I liked them. I didn't think they were that great. I like Syntrax nectar and ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates better when it comes to clear Protein supplements.

I would recommend you get some small bottles to try before you make an investment in them.

I tried it once. Hated the taste. So once was enough. But some people find the taste acceptable.

Thanks for all the great feedback!! I will try the nectar again I tried a lot of things right after surgery and maybe my tastes have changed since... I am just trying to get back to 100grams Protein a day...
