Isopure fruity drink thingies...

Ohhhh another question...do the powdered Protein Drinks need to be mixed with milk??? Or can you use something else, (water etc). Just curious.

I have a chocolate whey powder that's actually drinkable when mixed with Water. I get it at the grocery store--it's called "Pure Protein 100% natural whey Protein Powder. I also have the Isopure vanilla protein powder but it's yucky.

I also like the isopure drinks. Not only are you getting 40 grams of protein, but also 20 oz of liquid at the same time! I only drink 10 oz at a time also.

Hi! I saw all the New Whey flavors at Vitamin Shoppe. They also had the Isopure singles. THEY ARE IN THE FRIDGE CASE, that's why you couldn't find them on the shelves. I know I looked for a long time B4 I thought to ask the saleslady.THe saleslady said th Melon somthing or other was the only one she could stomach. I got the New Whey but haven't tasted it. Some suggestions I heard:

:smile:Buy a sno-cone maker and add it as the flavoring (add half the bullet at any given time)

:smile:put half the bullet over a LOT of ice and sip slowly

:smile:add one of the crystal lite flavoring mix packets to it, cut with at least 2 cups Water, sip throughout the day.

:smile:add to SF Jello (though not while it's hot, my friend says it's nasty if heated)

My surgery is this Tuesday! Kind of regretting my decision to go to work tomorrow, cuz I'm nervous, but I guess it's a good distraction. DH is driving me to work (he sez more to put his own mind at rest - me + anxiety + driving = danger) That's sweet of him, though!

Good luck to us all!

I think I'm going to run out to GNC today and see what I can find. If I can just try some of the singles, I'll know what I can tolerate and if I need a case I can always buy it online.

Thanks for all the info and advice...I know I don't have a surgery date yet, but it's important to me that I'm prepared before hand so I'm not rushing around trying to find Protein supplements and end up buying stuff that's going to make me gag!! hehe

I also ordered unjury samples....I've heard some people say Unjury is disgusting. I didn't even bother with the unflavored, since that is supposedly the worst?

What is everyone's favorite Protein drinks that they know of off hand? I'm interested drinks without sugar and low carbs.

I really like the Kashi Go Lean Protein Drink powder. I put it in the blender with ice, 1/2 banana and skim milk. Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks are not bad.I did not like the Unjury at all. I like Muscle Milk--the chocolate and the Cookies and cream are real good. I have a vanilla in the fridge now, I intend to add instant coffee (decafe of course) for a creamy coffee drink. Also, sometimes (especially in the later afternoon when dinner is still far away) I add a Special K Powder Protein (5 grams) to a Special K Protein Drink. It is yummy and 10 grams of protien. It'll keep me satisfied enough to get home and get dinner on the table.
