Rave: IsoPure

I am having a really hard time getting all of my protein in so I went and visited the Vitamin Shoppe and lo and behold they have a whole section dedicated to this protein crap. It was like the Disneyland of protein. Anywho - they had a HUGE selection protein drinks. I bought a few and by far the BEST (in my opinion) is IsoPure. They come in flavors that taste a lot like gatorade (but grittier) and they have a huge amount of protein - 40 grams in 20 fl. ounces. I don't know if this counts towards your water but I have to tell you that just getting the protein in make me feel SO much better. I couldn't do the chocolate or vanilla drinks after the surgery, they just made me gag. But IsoPure ROOOOCKS! I love it! Anyways - just thought I would share...

Glad you found something you really like Shannon!!! It really helps when we like what we are drinking and it really makes a difference in our recovery when we get all the protein requirements for the day! I know I feel much better today since I was able to get all my proteins in yesterday & today... and I discovered a new protein shake that I liked very much!!! I mixed 1 scoop of cappuccino flavored whey protein powder & 1 scoop tasteless whey powder with 8oz. of skim milk, 1/2 cup strong coffee, a tablespoon of sugar free swiss mocha coffee drink. Blended it all up with ice cubes and it was frothy & delicious!!! And it was 50 grams of protein in one 20oz. shake! I had part of the shake in the morning ...and finished the rest of it off for lunch. Getting all that protein in sure makes a difference. I feel absolutely GREAT today!!! Here's to protein! Cheers!

UGh I guess it's time to go on the protein hunt again. Before surgery I purchased the ON Whey protein shakes. They aren't half bad. I'm able to get down about 2 tablespoons of protein at each meal but I just don't feel like eating sometimes. So tomorrow I'll start my hunt for ISOPURE and give it a shot. I'm afraid to do coffee anything for fear that I will lose some of the water I'm taking in but weird enough I"m on a water pill. Hmmmmm :uhoh: could that ******ror on their part? :sniff: now I'm worrying again.

I bought a few isopure drinks, and they have a waxy taste to me, if that makes sense. however, they are better than most of the shakes. Also, I found the profect drinks (www.protica.com) and they are sooo much better. Not that they taste that much better, but you get 25 grams of protein in 3 oz, so by the time I gag 3 oz down, it's over and I don't have to muddle through the other 17 oz. Even though Isopure has 40 grams, I could do 2 profects and have 50 grams in 6 oz. Still a better deal in my world. Good luck!

I use the Isopure Vanilla protein powder. I actually like the taste. 2 scoops in 8oz. of FF milk. with a handful of ice cubes and 1/2 of a banana for flavor, blended and VOILA, Vanilla milk shake complete with a full days supply of protein. I love 'em. My kids want me to make them some. (that could get expensive) It's just so important that we find a good source of protein we can tolerate- if not enjoy. I'm glad you found yours. DD
