I went to GNC today and got some Isopure (the green one and the orange one- peach mango.)

I sipped the peach mango and it was not good but it was also room temp.

I heard people saying they mix in crystal light. Do you just pour in the crystal light and mix it with the Isopure, or do you Water the Isopure down w/ crystal light and water and have half a serving?

I start working again tomorrow and want to have the easiest way to get my Protein as possible. If I can figure a way to DRINK this, I think it will be so much simpler than mixing shakes at work.

Thanks!!

Also, this is strange and totally off topic... I took a nap today and weighed myself and I lost 5 lbs! I had not lost weight when I woke up this morning. Weird, huh?

Well, let me try this again. When I tried to post my last reply the site went offline...or something.

I think people make up the Crystal Light then add the Isopure to it, but I haven't tried that myself. I taste tested the Icy Orange and Apple Melon Isopure, and they were ok, but I didn't buy any more of them.

What I do buy and drink is Protein Blitz Fruit drinks by Designer whey. They are relatively new on the market - the only place I have been able to find them is Vitamin Shoppe. They come in Grape, Orange Mango, and Punch and I LOVE them! They taste like Kool-Aid to me. No clumps of Protein or the chalky taste of the Isopure. They come in 20 oz plastic bottles and each bottle contains 30 g protein, 1 g sugars and 120 calories. If you can find them, I highly recommend them. :)

I drink the Alpine Punch, and Grape Isopure. I like both of those flavors. I drink them cold with ice and like them. As long as they are cold, they are good. The Alpine Punch tastes like kool-aid to me. Different things work for different people. They have helped me get all of my Protein in since it seems like since I have been banded the most calories I take in a day are 500.

I mix the Alpine Punch Isopure and the Raspberry Lemonade Crystal Light. It gives it a tangy lemonade flavor. I really like it. Oh and i put the crystal light directly into the isopure i don't delute it at all.

Hope this helps.

I'm still on my pre-op diet, i'll be banded this thursday!! WOOHOO!!

Good luck! :rolleyes:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
