imawhodat 3 Posted July 12, 2011 Any suggestions on getting this down? I'm in the hospital and they brought me a few ounces of the alpine punch flavor. I've got it chilling over ice, but everytime I take a sip I gag. I'm pretending its medicine that my body needs. Can I mix it with anything to make it taste better? BTW this isn't the Protein shakes, but the light colored stuff in the tall glass bottle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kellyw74 258 Posted July 12, 2011 Sadly, the alpine punch is the best one!! I just sipped and sipped and tried not to think about it! It is VERY DRY huh?? Pretty soon you will not have to drink that stuff anymore. I was so glad when I didn't have to! Get better soon!! Hugs, Kelly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I have been wanting to find a clear Protein drink as well with out gagging all the ones with more then 25 grams are really strong but my friend said the special k one was good it only has like 15 grams i think but hey better then nothing ya know .

Marilynn 1 Posted July 15, 2011 Any suggestions on getting this down? I'm in the hospital and they brought me a few ounces of the alpine punch flavor. I've got it chilling over ice, but everytime I take a sip I gag. I'm pretending its medicine that my body needs. Can I mix it with anything to make it taste better? BTW this isn't the Protein shakes, but the light colored stuff in the tall glass bottle. I got a couple samples of the Isopure alpine punch and grape once I was released from the hospital. I am a fruit punch kinda girl so I was hoping it would be good but it does taste like medicine and is horrible beyond words. I had purchased this stuff called MiO, it is liquid Water enhancers with no calories and no sugar. It is also tropical fruit, it helps but it is not yet made it good. Hope this helps and hope your recovery goes well. :rolleyes: I am loving my sleeve! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted July 15, 2011 Being lazy and not retyping... Cathy - ask your surgeon if clear liquid Protein is OK. "New Whey" makes a Protein bullet drink that is clear' date=' IIRC. I don't know how it tastes. My parents (have both had WLS) add them to Crystal Light to thin them out - they are pretty thick. There is also a protein Water that Kellog makes, which I believe is clear. [/color'] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lunarose 97 Posted July 15, 2011 Hi, I really liked the grape flavor I would mix in Walmart's grape flavor crystal loight which helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peppercma 12 Posted July 26, 2011 I tried a couple of the Isopure drinks, grape & something red, both were disgusting!! The sucked all the moisture out of my mouth and had a horrible aftertaste. I have no desire to try any of the other flavors from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
