Clear Protein drinks

[A1220M 101]

Has anyone tried or incorporated any of the clear Protein Drinks into their diet? I'm wondering if these are a good option during the post-op liquid phase since they are whey Protein, stevia and Water.

The one I have is Isopure Infusions . It mixes to clear and looks like crystal light but has 20 grams of protein.

The ingredients are: 1)Whey protein isolate 2)"natural flavor" 3)citric acid 4)stevia extract 5)turmeric extract (color)

I tried Isopure protein drinks that are premade and resemble Gatorade taste wise. They have 40g of protein. Not bad, but if you don't like the taste, they can be a bit pricey. But its a good alternative to shakes.

Thank you, I'll check these out! That's exactly the types I was referring to. Did you use them in place of shakes or as part of your Water intake?

I think they count as both Water and Protein intake. My dietician suggested I drink those post op because I was having problems drinking the milky shakes.

That's what I was hoping to hear! I'll check with mine as well.

I got mine at the Vitamin Shoppe. I used them as both since they are high in Protein and I sometimes added a bit of Water to it to dilute it since Im not a fan of sweet drinks. Its also zero sugar.

This makes sense. I'm not a fan of sweets much either, and I have no idea how I'll feel after surgery.

I'll check out this one as well. Thanks!

I actually preferred clear Protein after my surgery cause the shakes taste too sweet. I can tolorate Premier Protein strawberry and cafe latte (has caffeine) but in the beginning I did a shake and clear protein drinks each day to get in my protein goal. I like the premier protein fruit punch but have to admit it’s the only one I’ve tried. The shakes and the clear protein count towards Fluid and protein goals.
