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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
