I am reviewing my post op food list and it says I need to have a clear or translucent protein drink. So I got one my NUT recommended Super Protein Shot in Fruit Punch and its horrible. Do you have any that you used that were okay?

 Isopure isn't terrible.  It has a bit of an aftertaste, but I've been diluting it with water and that seems to make it a bit better.

Isopure is the only one I know of... but like Wilcat said, it does have a bit of an aftertaste. Definitely plan to dilute it. Good luck!

 Stay away from the passion fruit - even diluted it is gross.  The Fruit punch has been my favorite so far.

Okay I was thinking Isopure but wasnt sure. I will get some of that. I have friend that did the surgery years ago and she says there is one that taste like chicken soup. When she figures out the name I will share it here. Thanks ladies.

The chicken soup one is probably the Unjury brand... I think you have to order it online.

The syntrax nectars counted as clears on my plan. They are very, very tasty!
Syntrax has to be ordered online, as far as I know.
However, Isopure (though I think it tastes yucky) is much easier to find. GNC carries it in the store.

 Vitamin Shoppe has a limited selection of Nectar flavors...I had the Chocolate with almond milk the other day and it tasted like chocolate milk.  It completely dissolved and wasn't grainy at all.  It was pretty tasty.  I hope I like it after surgery!

If there is a Vitamin Shoppe near you, they carry the Syntrax line.
