Isopure Clear Whey Isolate Protein Powder, Citrus Lemonade 12.3 OZ

Full transparency here - I do not like the flavor of this on its own, but I have figured out a mixture that works very well for me. I love the Dunkin pineapple mango refresher, but it's just a ton of sugar and empty calories. I was hoping the tropical punch mix would be similar in flavor and of course, it was not nearly the same. That said, it is a very light flavor that is not overly sweet, so I now add one Dunkin sugar free pineapple mango powder packet to the scoop of protein powder, and while the taste isn't an exact match, it's a really good dupe that gives me 20g of protein first thing in the morning. I now find that I crave this every morning and it has helped me tremendously since starting my GLP-1 journey. I struggle a lot with being aggressively NOT hungry a lot of the time, and especially in the morning, eating a nutritious breakfast with protein is really tough for me to manage. This gets me off on the right foot and gets me through until either lunch or a mid-morning snack - if you are typically hungry, I doubt this is going to fill you at all, but if you also struggle with not being hungry or you just need another way to easily get protein, this could be a really great option for you. The texture is absolutely smooth and there is no viscosity or sliminess like you can get with some clear proteins. It needs to be shaken very well, but once the foam dies down, it's exactly the consistency of water. I do mix it with a good 24 oz of water and ice (best super cold in my opinion), and that combo with the Dunkin packet gives me a protein refresher that I can easily stomach and enjoy any time of day, but especially when the lack of hunger is preventing me from eating real food. Digestive-wise, this one is great for me. I have noticed that other protein drinks (the creamy whey shakes and even the protein milks) can sit in my stomach like concrete or even give me nasty GERD symptoms. This one does not at all for me. I also tried the Isopure mixed berry packets with electrolytes and those immediately gave me a stomach ache - maybe the electrolytes, I don't know. I did some research on other similar products and this one is a decent per oz. price, and it's a nice light product with great texture and high quality ingredients that can be mixed up with other powders. Highly recommend to anyone struggling with GLP-1 or bariatric surgery challenges.

Key Takeaways: - first time using/trying clear protein powder - I hate traditional protein powders mixed with water - completely dissolves and doesn't change texture or become thick - tastes great - quick and easy to make - fills me up but no bloat I am so impressed with this product! I struggle getting enough protein in my diet, but I absolutely hate traditional protein powders unless they're in smoothies, but that takes time and more money. Not to mention, adds more calories and is heavier, like a meal. My husband drinks his daily protein powder in just water and he's totally fine with this. I've tried it, and I gag and have to force myself to chug it down. Then I can't even think about doing it again without having an intense, visceral reaction. Ultimately, I don't have another one for a week or so. I need something I can have every day, so I can really improve my protein intake. Getting old sucks, lol. I did a lot of research on different brands, and read a lot of reviews on each. Isopure has been around a while, and I do like their traditional protein powder in smoothies, so I took a chance on this one. This is my first time trying clear protein. I wanted something that was like flavored water, that didn't change the texture or thickness of it, and that tastes good. The Tropical Fruit flavor is pleasant and not too sweet, sour, or artificial. My first time, I used 14oz of water. The flavor is good, but if you like it a little stronger, you may prefer 12oz. It dissolved completely! I have issues with textures, so I was nervous about this. Especially because I'd read reviews that said they had issues with it dissolving. Here's my process: 1) poured cold bottled water from fridge into medium shaker bottle (no ball) 2) added 1 scoop protein powder 3) shook hard 4) let settle for a few minutes 5) shook hard again 6) set in fridge to settle until I was ready to drink When I went to get it from the fridge, I was pleasantly surprised to see how clear it was. The foam had completely settled and there were no clumps at all! I thought there might be just a bit of grittiness at the very bottom, but there was none. I did not shake it anymore after I started drinking it. I saw other reviews that said they would make a few of these at a time, and they were fine in the fridge for a couple days, so I plan to try that for a true grab-and-go option. This made me feel SO full. I can't imagine eating a meal anytime soon after having it, but that's going to differ from person to person. I'm also not used to having a lot of protein in one sitting, so once I get used to it, that overfull feeling may change. So, to say I'm impressed and so excited I finally found an easy way to get more protein, is an understatement. It's not cheap, but it's actually not too bad considering you have to pay for protein no matter which source you get it from. I got the 36 servings tub for about $58, which comes out to about $1.61 for a serving of 22g of protein. Honestly, that's a steal. I couldn't be happier!

First and foremost I am a sweet tooth kinda gal, and traditional protein shakes are good, but they aren’t cutting it lately! I like to have something on the rocks at all times sipping away especially for these hot summer days. I decided to try this clear protein to increase my protein intake, especially since I am not much of a breakfast eater. She gives me a good kick starts to my day, leaving me satisfied and not night munching, I catch myself making more then just one, I enjoy the taste! However on its own it’s a little tart. I add 2-3 equal artificial sweeteners to a 20oz cup, and damn that’s good! I have used ISOPURE in the past, so I trust its brand! I find that it tastes best when cold, vs room temp. I believe the price is very fair for what you are getting. Now it doesn’t taste like flavored water, but she is good dolled up!

I need to take protein but there are so many ingredients I can't have. The protein powders I had found so far that I could have did not taste good at all. Then I saw this one and loved that it was supposed to be clear and the ingredients were ones I can have. I love the taste! I got the pineapple, orange, banana. It really does taste great! It mostly tastes like pineapple. It does foam a lot, I added pictures of right after I shook it and after it sat for just a few minutes. It mixes easily with shaking, but definitely let it sit for a couple of minutes. If I put it in a glass, I use my little frother. I havent tried it in a smoothie yet, but I bet it would taste really good too. Seriously the flavor is so good! I want to get all the flavors now!

Ugh yum! Started glp and wanted to make sure I could get protein even if I wasn't feeling hungry. Since this is clear I thought I'd be able to tolerate it better than a thick protien shake. I was going to get fruit punch- but the flavor reviews didnt seem great so went with watermelon and its soo good, just like a tart jolly rancher. You have to follow the directions which says to shake, (not stir) and wait 1 minute for foam to die down. I shook mine with ice and a few basil leaves and it was a fantastic summer drink. I would use a shaker ball as there were some mini gummy pieces that didn't dissolve but it didn't personally bother me. It's the only protein powder/bar/supplement that made me said, "oh yum!" And not just "it's tolerable". This would be very easy to slam one of these after a hot workout, versus a heavy shake. As far as glp belly goes I don't feel full or heavy. Def give the watermelon a try!

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.

It has an alright taste. Nothing lingers to long. And it doesn't taste like a protein drink. But there is a weird chemical like taste. It is way better if you make the drink as cold as possible. The topical punch flavor really isn't there. When it says to shake it and dont blend it. Its serious. This thing foams up so much that in putting it in a large cup, like twice the size you need, it still just about foams out. Then letting it sit for over a minute, more like 3, the foam slowly goes away. You will always have slight chunks of the powder left over. No matter how long you shake it. Its really not worth it. There's better stuff out there.

Pros: low calorie, quick and easy, great flavor, high protein ratio. Cons: could dissolve a bit better compared to others I've used. If not fully mixed well it gives it a gummy texture. Quick review- excellent source of low calorie, quick and easy protein for those on the go. I usually drink one in the morning before work and after my runs just to supplement my activity levels. I mix in a shaker and let sit for a few minutes to let the foam dissolve. Has a lot of flavor but this one was just a little to lime for me but that's a personal preference. I had bought it thinking it would have more mango flavor so keep that in mind. Over all of highly recommend for those that need just that extra bit of protein without the added calories.

Produto maravilhoso, fácil de usar fica como um suco

Used to love this but now the product has a very bitter aftertaste and its not pleasant at all. I know it has stevia but the bitterness is too much not like before. Wont be ordering again unfortunately.

First clear protein Ive had. Ok however has a bit of a bitter after taste. Maybe its normal for clear whey?

Haven't used anything like this before. It dissolves in water ro a clear liquid and tastes great! I am not going back to any other protien powder

Thank you for being prompt, the item is exactly as described and tastes great
