OKSleever 144 Posted March 20, 2013 I'm trying to stock up before my surgery next week and I wanted to do sort of an informal poll. What flavor of Isopure (or the nectar brand that everyone's always talking about) did you find most tolerable right after surgery? TIA!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeffNNJ 111 Posted March 20, 2013 They're all pretty bad but orange and grape are a bit less bad than the others. I recommend you cut it with Gatoraide or Vitamin Water to vastly improve the taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heyher 581 Posted March 20, 2013 Don't stock up on too much. What you like now, you may detest after surgery. I hated the orange pre op, but post op it was the only one I could tolerate. Syntrax Nectar caribbean cooler is my fave right now. I blend it with 8oz fat free milk and 5 or 6 ice cubes. To me it almost has a piña colada type taste, less the rum. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mokee 588 Posted March 20, 2013 It's funny because I put off buying Isopure because everyone said it was disgusting. I like the grape and the fruit punch. They are a lot better than the powder Protein drinks that I forced. Myself to drink early on. I also do not find that anything tastes any different than before surgery. Best of luck.

scorpio2479 237 Posted March 20, 2013 I held off buying Isopure & after tasting it know why. That stuff was a waste of $$ & I could hardly even take a sip of it w/ out wanting to vomit. To each his own though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen.D 10 Posted March 20, 2013 I've tried the orange, and it tastes ok, but smells weird, if that makes sense. I think the best way to drink it is with a straw, so you don't inhale it as you're taking a sip. I agree that mixing in some low-cal gatorade would probably help it.

ArtSong 291 Posted March 20, 2013 In the powder ones they have a new coffee and Espresso. I have not had them but am Ordering them today.I like the duch mixed Peanut Butter Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleevedintx 39 Posted March 20, 2013 It's trial and error with the Isopure. The grape and orange are pretty mild. They do have funny smells and odd tastes and will leave your mouth and teeth feeling weird/ cotton mouth. Make sure they are cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RebecaSparkles 247 Posted March 21, 2013 I noticed that they don't have sample packets of the flavors only the huge tubs. anyone know where to get the Syntrax Nectars in smaller quantities so I can try them out? Also, they had a oreo one that looked really good and a chocolate mint one too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also' date=' they had a oreo one that looked really good and a chocolate mint one too![/quote'] They do actually have the variety pack. I found it on Amazon. I think it costed like 45 bucks for 20 shake mixes. I personally do not care for them but the have 50 oz of Protein and good for me to keep in a pinch.

JeffNNJ 111 Posted March 21, 2013 Mix Isopure 50/50 with Gatoraide or Vitamin Water. Taste will be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
