LadyK 164 Posted August 19, 2012 I'm lactose intolerant too, I haven't had my surgery yet, but I am on a pre op diet and Isopure made my tongue feel like it had on a sweater...Muscle Milk gives me the horrible lactose intolerant symptoms, but I found it won't bother me if I take 2 chewable Lactaid tablets while I'm drinking it. I like the chocolate the best, the vanilla and the strawberry are nasty to me. 1 Carrie's Journey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloomerific 5 Posted August 19, 2012 I bought a bottle of the grape at GNC during liquids and I still have some in the fridge a week later. Worst ever!! I do enjoy the powder (Dutch chocolate) in the bag, though!! The grape though...blech!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charmichelle 15 Posted August 19, 2012 I like the Isopure Alpine Punch. It actually doesn't taste bad to me. Muscle Milk Lite on the other hand tastes like muddy puke. I plan to try out the Premier Protein to just to make things a little different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the chocolate muscle milk, the alpine punch was the one I tried and I declare I was drinking a glass of fruity dryer lint! LOL I hope I find another flavor I like before surgery, so far chocolate is safe for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrie's Journey 130 Posted August 20, 2012 Crazy how some people like it and some (like me) cant stand it. At least there's a bit of variety out there for all of us. Just tasted Syntrax banana cream and am in love! Mix it with chocolate Protein Powder and that's a winner too! 1 LadyK reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kansas1965 54 Posted August 20, 2012 I know they make me sick but so do the Protein Shakes I use to like the premier shake but they give me so much gas now !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kansas1965 54 Posted August 20, 2012 Why do we need to get so much Protein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted August 20, 2012 Why do we need to get so much Protein Because, the body can use carbs or Protein as fuel. With very low carb consumption protein makes up the fuel that you are not getting from carbs. Plus protein is essential in the bodies restorative process. In all likelihood you were probably getting as much protein or more before your surgery. You just weren't paying as much attention to it because it was in he food you were enjoying. 1 Need-a-Sleeve reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonathanS 75 Posted August 23, 2012 I was one of the bright ones that purchased an Isopure bottle variety pack to try before surgery. Well now I sit here with a case of the stuff trying to figure out how in the world I'm going to drink it. For those that mix it with Crystal Light ... Do you just poor a packet in the bottle and shake? Any flavor combination suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allnewme 262 Posted August 23, 2012 You have to mix the Crystal light w 32 oz of Water, add ice and Isopure and still hope that you can get past the nasty aftertaste. To answer the question of how do you drink Isopure, You don't. I bought several bottles and still have most of them in my pantry. BIG mistake! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allnewme 262 Posted August 23, 2012 Try it, you MIGHT like it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allnewme 262 Posted August 23, 2012 I really am not usually negative but Isopure is so bad to me. I know some people like it though. I do not understand that! 1 misslisa810 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted August 23, 2012 Isopure powder is horrible. I can manage one of the RTDs. It's the "grape frost" flavor. If it's really cold, and I add a packet of grape drink mix or a good squirt of grape Mio stuff, it tastes reasonably like grape koolaid. DD will even drink it. Leaves my mouth feeling slightly dry, but really - it's not that bad. And I don't say that lightly. I'm not a fan of Isopure at all. And all the other RTD flavors I've tried so far (I've tried most but not all) are exceptionally disgusting. "It's k 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mesaucedo 207 Posted August 24, 2012 We are talking about their clear drinks right? They also make shakes. I like the passion fruit flavor and mix it 50/50 with Water. It makes my money last longer and dilutes it a ton. I hated their alpine punch and apple melon flavors. Isopure? More like Isopuke!!
