Isopure or Unjury?

Protein Powder

I like Unjury Protein powder but used the Isopure drinks early out when I was on liquids for the first 3 weeks.

Okay, for me, Isopure made me gag. I'm 10 months out and I still have unopened Isopure bottles in my fridge. I need to just throw them out. The odd thing is that before surgery, I tried some and thought it tasted good. I bought a whole bunch in prep for surgery and then afterwards, I couldn't even gag it down so I purchased some unjury at the recommendation of my NUT. It was okay, but not great. I found this recipe that has helped get down the vanilla Protein powder:

banana bread shake
1 scoop of vanilla Protein Powder
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 Water
1/8 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon oats
1/2 large or one small banana (I freeze mine)
6 ice cubes

If I had to choose, I would pick Unjury over Isopure. Or even better, I'd choose Syntrax nectar over both of them. I'm to the point now where I am pretty much exclusive to the chocolate Premier Protein shakes from costco.

Having said all of that, everyone is different so what I like may make you gag and vice versa. You might want to get a sample of each and try it out for yourself to determine what you like best. It will save you a ton of money if you do that instead of buying a whole bunch of one (like I did), and end up gagging on it.

(sorry for using the world gag so much!)

I've had both. I can stomach both just fine. I prefer the Unjury tho myself.

I love Unjury. Haven't tried the Isopure powder but I can say the RTD made me gag. They call it Isopuke for a reason!

The best shake ever is Syntrax Nectar Cappuccino, I am 5 months out I have one every morning, mix one scoop with 1 cup fat free milk, half cup cold coffee, and two ice cubes, put in my magic bullet blender and go. Total 28 Gram's of Protein, no fat, no carbs, and 110 calories. Delicious, I have tons of other kinds of powders here and they make me gag ! Bariatric Choice is the site I go and order, they also have high protein oatmeal, that is really good. Good luck!

I prefer the Unjury powder of any that I have tried

I have never tried the ready to drink isopures, but I have tried 3 flavors of the Isopure Protein powder. I liked the chocolate and the creamy vanilla but hated the Cookies and cream. I also did the sample pack at unjury. I like the taste of the Unjury except the strawberry. But the isopure is cheaper and is fortified with Vitamins. Since we eat such small quantities it makes me feel better to use the isopure since it is Protein plus other nutrients. I mix a scoop of the creamy vanilla with milk, coffee and benefiber every morning. The good think about vanilla is it's easy to add other ingredients to it so you end up getting more variety. I do also have some unjury unflavored and chicken Soup flavor to use on those days when I'm low on protein. You will just have to try them and see what you like.
