Yum, Isopure smoothies!
I'm talking about the ready to drink Isopure smoothies, which I think are fairly new but I might be wrong about that. Maybe they are just new to me. I bought a single bottle a couple weeks ago at Vitamin Shoppe and am just now getting enough to trying it.
The flavor I got is orange berry. They had one other flavor but now I can't remember what it was, but this one sounded best to me. And it's yummy. It's not as thick as what I think of when I think of a smoothie. It's thicker than water but still fairly thin. I cannot smell or taste any protein and there is no aftertaste (at least not to me, I know everyone has different tastes). A 16 oz bottle has 32 grams of protein and 210 calories.
I'm gonna have to go back to Vitamin Shoppe to get the other flavor to try.

I am working on stocking up on RTD shakes for right after surgery. My fiance is having his RNY exactly one week after mine, so we are looking for EASY things (no mixing) for the first few weeks!

I suggest going to Vitamin Shoppe or GNC and buying a bunch of different ready to drink shakes since you and your fiance are both having surgery so close together. Get a lot of different ones because your tastes might change and what you like now might not taste right after surgery. Hopefully, between the two of you, one of you will like the ones the other doesn't so at least you won't end up wasting a bunch.
