Isopure fruity drink thingies...

Today I ordered some Unjury samples online to try out for flavor purposes. I'd love to start trying the Isopure fruit drinks but the only available online are purchased by the case. I really don't want 12 of something that I "may" not like.

Does anyone know if GNC sells these as singles to try? We have a GNC that just opened close by and I'll probably go check it out for myself next week but, was curious if anyone knew offhand.

Thanks!

I don't know if GNC sells singles or not of these. But just have to put in my 2 cents, Isopure fruit punch and nectar peach, absolutely disgusting! Taste awful. Now that's just my opinion, and a few others since I tried to get rid of the containers to others. It just doesn't taste like anything good. I would not waste money on a container of it. Take it from me, I already did. Check out vitalady.com for samples of protein drinks.

Thumbs up

Thanks for the info Chrissi. I will remember that about the fruit punch and nectar peach...I'm actually not a big fan of fruit punch OR peach flavored stuff (I do like FRESH peaches however, lol) I've made note to stay away!

I've tasted the Melon something or other and wasn't crazy about it. I have been buying a couple a week so that I'll have enought for my day before surgery liquid diet and for the week after surgery. My friend told me they are better over ice.

My GNC doesn't carry the singles but I get mine at the commissary on the military installation I work at.

My opinion, Isopure is not worth it. You can get singles ar GNC and Vitamin Shoppe, but they are very expensive and taste horrible. If you want a high protein supplement, I like the New Whey Bullets that come in 24g or 42 g of protein. The fruit punch is really good. They taste nasty if you drink them straight from the tube, but are Kool-aid-ish tasting if you add them to a bottle of water.

Where can the Whey Bullets be purchased from?

I buy mine at The Vitamin Shoppe. They do have an online store. Bought a carton of 12-42g bullets today for $35. The carton of 12-24 g are $33, so the 42g are more cost effective.

The isopure fruity drinks are sold singly (at about 3.50 each) at Hi Health.

HTH!

I like Nature's BestŪ Isopure Zero Carb specially Pineapple Orange Banana and Alpine Punch. It's 40 grams of 100% pure ion exchange whey protein isolate.
160 calories, 55mg Calcium and 45mg Potassium
Sweetened with aspartame-free Sucralose, the only lower calorie sweetener made from sugar. Preservative free. Lactose free. Fat free.

Please be aware Whey Protein Bullets are:
176 calories, 42 grams protein, 2g carbs, Og sugar plus a vitamin & mineral profile. Splenda sweetened.


Splenda sweetened = Aspartame which has been know to produce headaches, body aches, bloating, and gas. CNN had a report about how artificial sweeteners may actually cause the body to not metabolize foods correctly.

Also I was told your body can only process about 20 grams of protein at a time so split your intake.

Dr. Oz also recommends splitting your multi-vitamin between the morning and afternoon.

Well I must be odd man out I like Isopure, I drink half a bottle at a time in a glass of ice. taste like gatorade to me. I also like thier shakes. I get all mine at GNC they sell them in singles. The shakes are REALLY good with a half of bannana in them. But I think youll have to try all kinds to see what you like best. Like I said I like Isopure and I know of other ppl who also like it, but its all in what you like.

I don't now if it is my area or not, but when I went to GNC to buy a case of grape Isopure (its my FAVORITE) they told me they were phasing out Isopure and discontinuing it (she didn't know if the manufacturer was cutting the line or our local GNC's)

Grape is awesome .. hehe the apple and fruit punch ones have to much back bite...

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.
