Product Review: Isopure Zero Carb Alpine Punch
With all of the protein drinks I have tried I always taste the whey isolate and do not particularly find it appealing. I am getting ready for my liquid diet before my surgery and was reading up on what I am allowed to have while on the clear liquids. The Alpine Punch flavor of Isopure Zero Carb was not on the approved list of protein drinks (probably because it is red and would look like blood during surgery is my guess) so I decided to try it out the other day. I have to say this is the first protein drink I didn’t mind drinking. The whey isolate barely had an aftertaste and tasted almost like Hawaiian punch. The Isopure Zero Carb drinks come in 20 ounce glass bottles and have a whopping 40 grams of protein. I really liked this flavor and plan on buying some for after surgery. As I mentioned before, Isopure Zero Carb is pretty expensive ($49.99 for 12 at GNC). GNC is current having a Buy one at regular price get one of equal or lesser value 50% off sale and also a gold card program that saves you 20% the day you join and the first seven days of the month for an entire year on our already low prices in stores and at gnc.com for only $15.

After weight loss surgery there is no way anyone can drink a whole bottle of Isopure at a time! You do make a good point for people to be aware of though. I have discussed it with the nutritionist and was told since drinking the entire bottle of Isopure at one time is not (or at least should not) be possible with the smaller size of the stomach that this is not really a concern. Basically you just sip on the Isopure through the day and you can get in the whole 40 grams of protein in. Just remember to keep it chilled after you open the bottle.

Have you checked protein numbers with your nutritionist? In our group, they report that the body can’t absorb more than 23 grams or so at one sitting, so the 40-g drinks can’t really be totally counted when tallying protein.
