vannababyy22 410 Posted November 4, 2016 Has anyone ever tried the Isopure ready to drink stuff? It has 40g of Protein in it, and I really have a hard time with Protein shakes. It's more like a Water drink, and less like a shake. If you've tried it let me know what you thought before I buy it. Thanks!

SLH-A 49 Posted November 4, 2016 I personally can't stand Isopure rtd's. I bought one of every flavor from luckyvitamin.com. I had high hopes but I can't stand the aftertaste. But there are some people I've talked to who like the stuff. If you decide to try it, don't buy a case. Just buy one of each flavor and go from there.

PorkChopExpress 821 Posted November 4, 2016 I tried three different flavors during my "clear liquids" phase and I didn't like a single one of them. They have a very medicinal taste, to me. Definitely try them before you buy bulk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The New Kel 1,312 Posted November 4, 2016 I don't like them, and had high hopes for them. I bought 4 flavors to try. The red one was ok but medicine aftertaste. The green apple was awful. The other two flavors are sitting in the back of my fridge untouched, lol! Here's the good news: after experiencing Isopure drinks, my premier Protein chocolate shakes suddenly taste better .

2ndSpring 350 Posted November 4, 2016 I tried the coconut one. there is an aftertaste that I probably could have soldiered through in order to get 40g of Protein....but there is a ton of sweetener to compensate giving it a nauseatingly over sweet taste. Similar to Kel, those Protein shakes suddenly didn't look so bad anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted November 4, 2016 @@vannababyy22 Go it GNC and buy one to try it. They are very strange! I couldn't stand the aftertaste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heidikat72 935 Posted November 4, 2016 I had a hard time getting those down. I only bought 3 bottles and only drank half a bottle a day as I was transitioning to full liquids when I came home from the hospital. Definitely an odd taste and viscosity - even though technically a 'clear' liquid.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mlbdl 86 Posted November 4, 2016 I tried one (the purple one?) at the suggestion of a friend. I had one sip. I imagine it's what death tastes like. BLECH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iam_yamii 24 Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) If you can tolerated go for it! It is whey Protein based and considered the gold standard for most physicians. I tried the alpine punch ad the after taste is not so good but tolerable. I found the green tea (lemon flavor) flavor and liked it. I add a little Water to mine...in my mind it helps lol.

ShelterDog64 2,364 Posted November 4, 2016 I was on Clear Liquids for a week post-op and I lived on the Isopure RTD lemonade flavor. It was less sweet than the blue and red flavors, I added a bit of lemon powder to cut the sweetness even more and blended it with ice, making a sort of slushie. That took care of the weird viscosity. My stomach then and still likes cold drinks, luckily. I didn't mind the Isopure then, not sure I could put it in my mouth now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I bake a lot, so I had lemon juice powder from King Arthur Flour in my pantry. True Lemon is a common brand that's easy to find. It really made a big difference, combined with the ice especially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
