Isopure?

Isopure drinks, shakes and the clear fruitie drinks. Are they any good or would you rather drink dirt? They have the most protein then any other drink but if it taste like doggie doo then I dont want it. Any comments on Isopure?

I have tried two flavors of the clear fruit drinks -- the passion fruit and blue raspberry. Both tasted good, but the passion fruit had a funny smell to it. I will definitely buy the blue raspberry again, and may try one more bottle of the passion fruit before I give up.

I have been using the grape isopure during my first week post-op on clear liquids. It is great - tastes just like crystal light or any other sugar free drink. I am so glad because the powders are generally awful.

I bought Unflavored Unjury for my post-op protein and gagged through it. Yuck!

THEN I actually tried the Isopure bottled drinks and I love them! They're my protein saving grace.

Tell yourself it's Gatorade. That's how I get through it. I also found two kinds of bottled Isopure Iced Tea (and Green Tea) at GNC. Fabulous!! Pricey, at $4.69 a bottle, but with 40 gms protein in each bottle, one a day works for me!

Yes, I love those Isopure clear bottles... I like the Apple Melon flavor the best. Since our bodies can't absorb more than 20g of protein at one time, I always split a bottle.. half in the morning and half at night. It helps.

I totally agree. I also split the Isopure bottle drink but I take small bathroom cups and freeze it for my summer icy snacks.

OK, So I bought the Isopure fruit drinks. The flavor is not all that bad. But I after a while I start getting a weird burning sore feeling in the back of my throat. So I think I will cut it down to 10oz in the am and 10oz in the pm. The powder Isopure isnt that bad either, I bought the Dutch chocolate. I mix it with skim or 1% milk for now. Doc is allowing me 24oz's of 1% milk a day so untill I have to use water, its will be milk for me. The fruit drinks taste like a koolaid with fake sweetner. The Chocolate powder taste like weak chocolate milk.
