“This has a HORRIBLE aftertaste, you can feel the protein covering your tongue. But taste aside, it does the job for someone needing a good source of protein, zero carbs and sugar right out of surgery.”

“The pre-bottled Isopure is awesome. 40 grams of protein in 20 oz of "clear liquid".
We like the apple melon and grape the best. They all kind of taste the same after awhile. Great protein.”

“It really does have a milky/yogurty aftertaste. Definitely better on ice. Am going to try to freeze like a popsicle, or add SF kool aid or crystal light. Excellent nutritional value, and I am NOT throwing 41$ in the trash. Just gotta suck it up and maybe alternate with another product.”

“If you need to have a protein supplement after surgery, go with the Isopure fruit juice drinks. A little pricey but they go down very easy, have 40 grams of protein per bottle, and don't taste half bad. Forget the powder and shakes, they may sound good but I found very hard to get used to especially when only sipping them.”

“I like the Grape Frost best. But I drink them over shaved ice. It's pretty close to a DQ Mr. Misty.
It's a good way to get your protein and your liquids in at the same time. I fill a 32 oz. glass with shaved ice (approx 20 oz. liquid) then half the bottle (10 oz.) as a morning "snack". Then repeat in the afternoon. This gives me 60 oz. of fluid and 40 grams of protein. Sweet!”

“I've tried three flavors of Isopure--blue raspberry,which was disgusting, icy grape and icy orange, both of which were quite tolerable, though not exactly tasty. They came in very handy for drinking during my clear liquid days for a bowel prep--lots of protein, no carbs, therefore no big blood sugar fluctuations! I hope I'll tolerate these postop, for they will be a good fluids source with protein added :-). ”

“I only really like the Icy Orange and the Alpine Punch. I cannot drink it by itself. I usually mix 5 oz. of each kind (10 oz. = 20 oz. protein) with about 6 oz. of Sugar Free CHERRY Koolaid. For whatever reason, the cherry flavor helps to mask that "proteiny" taste. Still can taste it, but not so bad.”

“I tried the pre-mixed Alpine Punch for 3.50 a bottle to see if I liked it enough to buy the large mix. I liked the pre-mixed a lot! Unfortunately, I spent $50 to find out the mix doesn't look or taste the same as the pre-mix. It looks like strawberry milk and tasted so bad I spit it out. Buy the pre-mix but not the dry mix!”

“Because I had to start my "NO FOOD", "PROTEIN" diet one week prior to surgery, I tried several varieties before this. And, this one wins HANDS DOWN!!!!
The Grape Frost is VERY good. The Alpine Punch is good. I still have several others to try, but expect the same results.
They remind me of kool-aid that doesn't have enough sugar in them. So, it's VERY tolerable.
There is a wierd feeling, for lack of a better description, afterwards, but it is by far very easy to go down.

They come in 4 fruity flavors orange, grape, green apple and punch flavored. The only flavor that I did not care for was the green apple the others are great.”

“I have been looking for a protein drink I could gag down...but this one is really pretty darn good! It has a bit of a strange...not aftertaste, per se, but a funny feeling on your tongue. I tried the apple melon and it was great. It's not thick and it's kinda like Kool-aid. I can't do the chocolate/vanilla/nectars so this really stepped in and filled that need. And at 40 grams of protein per bottle it's great!”

“These are kind of pricey, but as a new post-op it was ALL I could tolerate. I found I liked some flavors better than other, specifially the punch, passion fruit and raspberry. Some, like the grape, I had to add some sf grape kool-aid to make it taste better. If you're trying to find a protein drink that's not thick, definately give these a try. I'm able to tolerate the shakes now, but for the first 3 months these were a God send!”

“The grape flavor is excellent. Tastes just like grape kool-aid, if such a thing exists...can't remember ;) The Alpine punch flavor and Apple melon flavor are good too. did NOT like the Icy Orange because it had an odd aftertaste...as though you could really taste the whey in it, and I DON'T like that taste...The Blue Raspberry is also decent.
I like these because they're not all thick and milky. They go down like a really thin juice.”

“While this a bit pricey for everyday use, talk about a wonderful flavor alternative to the thicker protein shakes! I've had the Grape and Apple flavors, and they taste so good! 40 gr. of prot. in each bottle! The burst of energy I get when out riding my bicycle is awesome, and I never feel dragged out afterwards, or 'heavy' after taking in a thicker 'shake' type drink.”

“After many gagging tries with powders I tried Punch, Blue Raspberry and Apple Melon. I will never be without an Apple Melon in my fridge again!
I can't believe I finally found something that tastes good, mmmmm Jolly Rancher, sour apple blow pop here I come!
I figure I would eat more than $3.25 in any given pre-op day so the price is well worth finding something that goes down and doesn't smell like liquid chalk mixed with vomit! (at least all my powders so far have smelled OR tasted like that!) It's heaven and I can justify the price, worth having the protein instead of making my body suffer without!”

“This is great because 1. it actually tastes good (Alpine Punch and Grape Frost, not a fan of Green Apple), and 2. it's easy to take on the go (but wish it came in a plastic bottle instead of glass) or in the office. It's a little pricy, but I feel like it's good for me (40 g. protein, no sugar, no carbs), and this, along with the half a Real Meals I choke down in the morning, has me covered protein-wise in addition to whatever I eat that day.”

If it helps with the wieght loss, who cares. Personally its better than EAS, Real Meals or Adkins. Has 160cals, 20oz, 40g of Protein, 2carbs.

“I would much rather drink one of these as opposed to one of those nasty, chalky, thick protein shakes. Isopure tastes more like Gatorade. Be warned, they smell nasty. When I first smelled it I thought I had picked up a "bad" bottle, turns out they just stink like that.”

“The store had a grand opening and it was 40% off, so I tried one and went back later for more. I've had the grape, punch, and blue raspberry. I like getting the protein in almost one shot, but it does cause build up on my tongue. I've made a 50-50 mix of the grape and Sugar Free Grape Koolaid, and that give's me some of the sweetness I'm looking for.”

“I just got 30 bottles of this stuf for my 30th B-Day. My surgery is only a week away now. I've tasted it and it tastes like kool-aid without any sugar. I really like the fact that it has the consistency of gator-ade, as opposed to most powder shakes. It's expensive for sure, but at 40 grams of protein a bottle (almost equivalent to 6.5 ounces of lean meat), and a taste that really isn't that bad when very cold, I kinda' feel blessed to have it.”

“This is a decent product for those of us that have issues getting all of their protein. One bottle has 40grams of protein with zero carbs. I can only drink about half a day, but even that is 20 grams of protein. It comes in 5 flavors and some are much sweeter tasting than others. The Apple Melon is sweet like a jolly rancher where the Alpine punch is less sweet. Depends on your taste.”

As I am not a milk drinker, The Isopure Zero Carb was perfect for me... It tastes like a fruit drink.. It goes down easily, and is perfect for sipping..

Apple
Blue Raspberry
Icy Orange
