Isopure Clear Whey Isolate Protein Powder, Lactose Free, Gluten Free, Naturally Flavored, Mixed Berry, 20g Protein Per Serving, 14.1 Oz, 16 Servings (Packaging May Vary)

I love Isopure as a protein workout supplement, usually opting for the Isopure Vanilla or plain powder in a small glass of water (6 ounces of room-temp water, stir rapidly with a fork, drink fast) or in a smoothie. The protein powder and water can be tough to drink every day, so I was thrilled when I found the fruity flavors. Had to give them a try. Here's the result: Best: Pre-Made Protein Waters in Your Fridge For some reason, these flavors take forever to dissolve in water. However, the fruity powders are fantastic for pre-made protein waters. My recommendation is to fill a water bottle with 16-20 ounces (a full scoop will dissolve in 8-10 ounces - but the taste is very tart) of room temperature water (mixes faster than cold water). Add a full scoop of the fruity powder and shake vigorously. You'll end up with lots of foam and powder residue at the top of the bottle. Pop the water bottle in the fridge for 4+ hours. That's about how long it takes to fully dissolve and the flavor is better when cold. The result is a fantastic fruity protein water. I like to make 4 bottles at a time and stock the fridge. Then, I can grab one to take to a workout or in the car on the way to work. The pre-made protein waters are really good and you get the benefit of lots of water and the 20 grams of protein. See the picture for a drink left in the fridge for 4 hours. The powder completely dissolves and the flavor is perfect. I've started to crave the flavor on days I don't workout. Okay: In a Shake The classic vanilla/choc/plain flavors dissolve easily in a small amount of water or milk. In shakes, I typically use 1/2 cup to 1 cup of liquid, which is fine for the classic flavors. For the fruity flavors, it's hard to get them to dissolve fully in a shake. The flavors are good - especially in berry shakes with greens - but there is always some powder residue in the shake. You can also premix the powder and liquid and leave overnight for use in the morning for a better shake. Makes drinking spinach or kale in a smoothie much tastier. Not Great: Drinking Straight in a Glass of Water Seriously, this stuff takes a LONG time to dissolve. The fruity powders are not meant for a quick mix in a glass of water. Stick to the classic flavors if this is your plan.

Many of us need to get more protein into our daily lives. This is a great way to boost protein everyday. 1. For weight loss replacing carbs with protein has been shown to help. 2. If one is trying boost muscle mass, the recommended daily protein intake is 1 gram per lb body weight. 3. For those using GLP-1 medications not only are they losing fat but also losing muscle mass due to eating less. Their appetites are diminished so it can be difficult to eat enough protein daily. This product is an easy way to get the protein needed to maintain muscle mass. While recovering from major surgery, and on a liquid diet they had me drink the bottled Isopure in the hospital to get my protein. My surgeons and dietitian really pushed this on me. Unfortunately at that point everything tasted horrible to me due to the antirejection meds I am on, and the bottled Isopure was tough to swallow. We ended up bringing home a few of the bottles for me to try later. One of the side effects of antirejection meds is also increased blood sugar. A few months after surgery is was put on a GLP-1 med to address. Before I began using, I researched since I heard there are side effects to using a GLP-1 like Ozempic (I am on a low dose of a different one, commonly used for Type 2 diabetes). I did notice the loss of muscle mass, so needed to up my protein intake. Besides eating more protein and drinking protein shakes, I tried the bottled Isopure, but the taste was still unappealing to me. I knew Isopure was the preferred clear protein by my care team, so I wanted to try the powdered product due to a lower cost per serving. I was surprised the powdered product mixed into water at home actually tastes GOOD. I highly recommend this product. Shaken into water, you get your protein along with hydration without other ingredients. Sugars and calories are lower than a protein drink or shake. Shaken correctly and allowed to settle a minute there is no grittiness or aftertaste. It’s like drinking a sllightly flavored juice.

Overall, this product is great. I take this after each workout daily. Instructions for use for are pretty simple 25 g per 16 ounces of water. Taste is as described and does not have any grainy texture. The only downfall I see with this product is that after shaking it, it stays quite foamy for some time. I usually prepare it the night before use so I what are you doing don’t have to wait for the foam to disappear.

I have ordered this many times. I usually dilute it more than they suggest because it is a very strong flavor. Not a bad flavor at all, just strong. I do not know if I could mix with something, as I have not looked into it. It says it is protein, and I do drink it, but it does not fill me. It is just a good hydration. I have only tried the berry. I want to try to lemon but I am afraid it would be too acidic.

I like the product taste is good but it doesn’t mix very well. It leave lumps no matter how hard I shake it. Directions say not to stir but I don’t see any other way to get lumps out.

Best tasting protein. It has no bad aftertaste and never clumps up. Mixes great with coconut water or plain water

I usually try to be patient with new protein powders, especially since I’m post-bariatric surgery and my stomach is still adjusting to new foods, but this Isopure Clear Low-Calorie Protein was a complete disappointment from start to finish. First of all, the clumping is unbelievable. No matter how carefully I measured, shook, or stirred, it formed these little gritty lumps that refused to dissolve. I tried using cold water, warm water, a shaker bottle, and even a spoon to mix it manually, and every time, I was left with chunks floating in my drink. It felt like I was drinking a science experiment gone wrong rather than a protein supplement. Then there’s the taste — or, more accurately, the assault on your taste buds. It is way too sweet. Like, alarmingly sweet. Almost like they dumped half a bag of sugar into it. I was expecting something light and refreshing, maybe even slightly fruity, since it’s supposed to be “clear” and drinkable. Instead, I got a cloying, artificial flavor that made my stomach turn. I’ve tried flavored water, sugar-free sports drinks, and other clear protein powders before, and nothing has been this over-the-top sweet and chemically tasting. I honestly had to pour half the serving out because I physically couldn’t drink it. As someone who’s post-bariatric surgery, texture, taste, and digestibility are critical. My stomach is sensitive, and I need protein powders that are gentle, mix well, and are palatable so I can actually get the nutrients I need. This Isopure Clear product fails on all three counts. After three attempts to use it, I’ve completely given up. I ended up wasting money and feeling frustrated every single time I tried to drink it. I wanted a light, hydrating protein option that I could sip between meals without feeling weighed down. Instead, I got a powder that clumps, tastes horrible, is WAY too sweet, and makes me question why I even bought it. Honestly, I feel like they’ve completely missed the mark for people with sensitive stomachs or post-surgical dietary needs. I would not recommend this to anyone, especially anyone recovering from bariatric surgery who needs a reliable, gentle, palatable protein source. Save yourself the frustration and money — do not buy this.

This review is coming from someone who has the hardest time looking for a good tasting protein drink. My biggest issue is the after taste and the overly sweetness they tend to have. But this product is no where near that! It is a complete game changer for me! I’ve had the hardest time trying to get more protein in because I can’t finish any of my protein shakes. But I can honestly say that I can drink this all day! I actually prepared it last night but forgot to drink it and honestly I was scared to have a bad experience so I just decided to wait till the morning. I put it in the fridge and the next morning i had it along with my breakfast and it was sooo delicious and refreshing. And not overly sweet!!!!🙌 I do want to mention that I used my electric milk frother because I noticed it was getting realy chunky and not dissolving with a spoon. The packaging does say NOT TO STIR but I just wanted to see for myself how true that was. So definitely use a chalet bottle or something that can really give it a good mix. It took about 10-15 mins to completely settle down and get all the foam to disappear but I was in no rush to drink it. And to my surprise it was a great idea letting it sit overnight and drinking it in the morning. I’ll definitely do that if I need to rush out the door and don’t have time to let it settle down. Overall, I’m extremely happy with my purchase and plan to keep ordering and possibly trying other flavors. If you’re still debating whether to order I suggest you give it a try! It is not your typical milky proteins that are overly sweet and thick. It literally feels like you’re drinking those infused fruit waters with just a light sweet taste. And NO AFTERTASTE!🙌 which is another win for me! : : On another side note, I also purchased this for an elderly loved one. The doctor suggested they need more protein intake. We tried a few protein shake brands from low calorie to low carb and even dialysis approved ones but they always made them feel nauseous and would upset their stomach. I’m hoping this will do the trick since it’s very light and refreshing. You seriously wouldn’t even know it’s a protein drink.
