“If I cannot manage to get this stuff down, it has a horrible rating. The taste is so vile that there the darn container sits, since intouched. Almost a fishy essence, it was supposed to be Dutch Chocolate. I'll stick to Designer Iso Vanilla and add flavors, actually tasty.”

“This is the clearest protein, I mix with water and an unsweetened orange koolaid pack, I used the isopure orange mango with the above and its just like tang, the best stuff, it has 25 grams per scoop no sugar no fat! and just a few calories. I use one scoop twice a day.”

“ISOPURE has been my saving grace. Zero - 3 carbs per drink (depending on flavor), low calories and 50 gm of protein per drink ( 2 scoops of powder). I mix it with non-fat milk. 100% Whey makes it so you don't taste the protein in the drink which is what makes it great for me because most of the other protein drinks out there taste horrible due to the taste of the protein in them. ISOPURE is awesome all around :) Have a chocolate protein drink in the morning blended with a banana in it and its great!”

“This stuff was horrible! I'm so glad I tried it before I had surgery and realized it before I came home from the hospital and had no choice! It was like a watered down fruit drink with an old cheese after taste! It didn't matter which flavor I tried. I tried 3, grape, punch, and orange. They were all terrible. Luckily I found an alternative which was much better called Cytosport Protein.”

“I will usually only buy the large cannisters of Isopure when it is buy one get one 1/2 off, therefore the price is dramatically different. It normally runs around 35.00 - 50.00 a cannister depending on where you buy it. WELL WORTH IT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE TEXTURE/TASTE ISSUES which I have.”

“I love the low-carb Chocolate Isopure. Mix it with some ice & skim milk and it is amazing. I'm pre-op, so I have even tried putting natural peanut butter, bananas, and strawberries (not all @ the same time) and it is soo good :) I use it as a dessert instead of anything else, and just 1 scoop definitely fill
