I currently drink the GNC Lean Shake w/ 25g of protein.  However, I have been looking into the Isopure drinks.  Has anyone ever tried these and if so do you feel they are worth the expense?

 

Thanks!!

I didn't care for the isopure zero/low carb drinks but I do use isopure unflavored powder and mix it into fage yogurt with different flavored sf torani syrups.

I like the not-so-sweet flavor of Isopure Vanilla, I mean it's ok.  Not fantastic, but doable.  My NUT recommends only using 1 scoop per drink rather than the 2 on the directions as our bodies can only process about 25-30 g of protein at a time.  So, a package of it lasts longer.

I drank them in the beginning when I was having trouble getting the protein in. I mixed 1/2 bottle with 1/2 water and added crystal light or something so it didn't taste as bad.

I actually just took the rest of mine to group this month since I was happy to be rid of them.

I was one of the odd balls that liked them I used the fruit punch flavor ready to drink and it was good as long as it was ice cold.

As far as only absorbing a certain amount of protein that is a myth so one has proven that it is true. I counted all my protein.

I didn;t discover them until ~ a year after surgery, when I had to prep for a colonoscopy. Wish I found them sooner.   I like the Peach Mango and the green ones, but do not buy them. I still have a boatload of reg protein shakes to use up.

They are less expensive if you buy a case.  I get them for my 87 year old mother because ISOPURE has no cholesterol.

They have great nutritional stats.  As for taste, I prefer the flavor of the stuff they give you for colonoscopy prep.

I personally like the apple melon flavor over ice. If it's warm it's a no-go, but on ice it's pretty refreshing. You have to like melon flavor, though.
