Isopure Drinks?

I was in GNC today and I saw that Isopure drinks have 40g of protein. Does anyone know how these taste? Any info would be helpful!

Thanks,
Lauren

Hi Lauren,

I tried them before surgery and I was ok with them, but after I had surgery they made me gag. I had to dilute them with water and ice to tolerate them. I could never like them again. The only flavor that was a bit easier for me was grape and I still had to dilute it.

Buy one bottle and see if you like it they are pretty expensive to buy them and not like them.

They aren't that bad.  Not like drinking something *good*, but not terrible. However, I found them easiest to drink if I mixed them with SF Hawaiian Punch.  So I'd put 1/2 Isopure and 1/2 HP in a sippy cup and drink it that way.  Each sippy was 10 grams of protein (1/4 of the bottle).  I only ever tried the fruit punch (red) flavor. I think it is called Alpine Punch.  If GNC doesn't sell them individually, I believe that the Vitamin Shoppe does.

I bought a couple of these yesterday at Vitamin Shoppe - the Grape Frost and Apple Melon.  They had individual bottles in the refrigerated area.  They really aren't bad.  I've been having about 1/2 a bottle at a time over ice.  Tomorrow I'll be sending hubby there to buy a case.  I actually find them easier to drink than the protein shakes right now!

They are awful made me gag also and very expensive!!!  Unjury Choc was and still is the only one I can get down.

Hi Lauren,  I like them with lots and lots of ice!  My favorite flavors are: Passion Fruit, Apple Melon and Grape.  They really help me reach the daily protein goal. I agree with Cira, you should probably try 1 bottle before investing in a 12 pack.   The Vitamin Shoppe lets you break open the 12 packs and mix and match flavors. Also...Make sure you get the zero carb version. I know that GNC carries both the regular and the zero carb and I almost bought the regular by mistake.  Peace and Blessings, -Antoinette

I tried them because I like the fruity tasting protein drinks (like Nectar) and I gagged!! I hated them and couldnt bare the taste. I was really hoping to like them but it didnt go so well for me...lol

Hi Lauren!! 

I loved the Isopure drinks - MUCH easier to drink than the gaggy protein shakes I was trying.  Cira's right though, they ARE expensive, so don't buy a bunch.  If it hasn't already, your taste and smell preferences may change.  In fact, they get downright weird!!! 

Like everyone else said, though, be SURE to drink them cold and Toni brought up a great point that there are several different "types," so make sure it's high protein/zero carbs.

Thanks everyone! I think I might get the grape to try. And definitely have it cold and over ice!

Thanks again,
Lauren
