I found a great alternative to Isopure!
I was shopping at Linberg Nutrition last night and right above the refrigerated Isopure bottles there was a drink called Cytomax PROTEIN. It has the exact same NI as Isposure. I tried the Tropical and it was really good. It tasted like a Pina Colda (which I love!) They only have three flavors though: Tropical, Watermelon & Tangerine. They are kind of sweet, but not in that gross syrupy way that the bullets are. Just a good sweet. Here is the NI on it:
Cytomax Protein Pure Performance Drink contains whey protein isolates, protein in nature’s most pure and complete form. Each bottle is packed with 40 grams of protein, and 0 Grams of Carbs and 0 Grams of Sugar. Perfect for anyone on the go. Cytosport has a very clean taste. It is not thick at all, and has 3 great flavors.

I love these drinks!! I have had one everyday since my surgery! I mix the Watermelon and the Tangerine together to help delute the sweetness. Out of the 3, Tangerine seems to be the least sweet and Tropical being the sweetest. If I only have Watermelon left over, I mix it with cold water and ice. Great stuff! GNC was selling them...BOGO 1/2 off, when you purchased them by the case (12 bottles). And I have found them for $27 plus shipping online.

or you can do a Google search on 'Cytosport Protein' and it will list a few different sites. I just go with the one with the cheapest overall price INCLUDING the shipping. Happy Shopping!

I bought it at Lindberg Nutrition (I think it's a So Cal - South Bay store) but you can by it online. I googled it this morning and a lot of stores came up including ibariatric,com. This wasn't on my list, just the Isopure, but I am going to show my NUT because it's the exact same ingredients and NI. OH did I mention that it was $1 a bottle cheaper than the Isopure too!!!!
