Has anyone tried the line of Isopure Coffee protein?  The stats are a bit better than Chike, so I was thinking about trying it.  The Vanilla Latte has me tempted.

I tried it and hated it. I'm sticking with Chike. But everyone is different, you might love it! They have samples of the caramel and mocha flavors at bodybuilding.com for 99 cents each. I got the Coffee Lovers Sampler from mybariatricpantry.com, and if I remember right it had all the Isopure/Javapro flavors.

I actually brew my own cup of coffee at night, let it get to room temp on the counter, and then add a scoop of the ispoure zero carb unflavored to it. It mixes very well...does not thicken the coffee either. In that shake i also add my miralax and benefiber too. And even with those combined, the consistency is still coffee like. I do not add milk or sweetener to the coffee either b/c I am used to drinking it black. I have not actually tried the coffee flavor though.

Do the coffee powders have caffeine in them?  I thought I read that chike has the same amount of caffeine as 2 shots of expresso.  My nut said to stay away from caffeine because it is a diuretic, but I miss my coffee...

Scorpio good news it has been proven over and over again that coffee is not a diuretic (I wish nuts would keep up on their profession) so I'd say enjoy. Now caffeine is a different issue, I have to stay away from it because of heart issues (a-fib).

Chike (or click, depending on my mood) is literally what gets me out of bed most days.  

I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's :)

My PhD (pretty hot diva) opinion is as long as you are getting in a good amount of water I enjoy a cup of coffee since I was getting in 64oz of water

The Syntrax Nectar Cappuccino uses decafe.  

As far as caffeine not being a diuretic, I have not seen that to be fact.  Mayo clinic states it is a mild diuretic.  I know for myself it defiantly is.
