Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade and Unflavored

I had this one for breakfast this morning, just mixed in water it doesn't taste bad at all.  Actually, it was pretty good, kinda tasted like lemonade cool-aid if you made it with splenda. No nasty protein taste, and it was not sickly sweet. Plus an awesome bonus, if you give the company a call (18663337403)  They will send you a sampler pack of 13 individual single serve packets for $13. It is still artificial, which I wish it wasn't, but its not nasty.  No tummy troubles no nasty burps, so it was pretty good. So this one gets a 4 out of 5.  As for the unflavored, I think I prefer it to the IsoPure it has less of the whey protien taste and is easier to hide behind other flavors.  It was a really good base for my other shakes.  Try it mixed with a tablespoon of  agave nectar, a cup of almond milk and a handful of frozen berries.  Yummy! 4.5 out of 5 stars.  That's all for now.

Isopure Unflavored Whey Protein

This one is awesome.  No tummy troubles at all.   It still has the off protein kinda flavor, but that is easily hide-able.  With a handful of fruit, some ice, a tablespoon of agave, and some almond milk we've got roughly 225 calories of yum.  I think this my be my solution, but I'm going to keep trying and reviewing anyway!!  4.5 out of 5 stars.

Update:
I have to lower the IsoPure rating from 4.5 to a 4 because the Syntrax Nectar Unflavored tastes so much better.  No protieny flavor to hide it is just yum!

Vega Complete Whole Food Optimizer - Berry

I can describe this protien in one word. Green.  In a sentence, It tastes like grass.  Smoother texture than the Amazing Grass, but same problem.  I don't want a protein shake that tastes like grass.  1.5 out of 5 Stars.

Amazing Grass Amazing Green

Well, if you would like to clean out your colon I have a meal replacement shake for you.  Heavens gracious it is green stuff!!! To get it to taste good one would have to mix it with apple or pear juice, or something else sweet which would defeat the purpose of a meal replacement.  It is grass, they are not joking!!! It also has a less than delightful grainy texture.  Like swallowing down whole psyllum husks.  No good for a meal replacement, but maybe a cleanse from time to time...  lol 1 out of 5 stars.

Chike Nutrition Strawberry and Chocolate Review

So here we go.  With all of the Isopure shakes, I have noticed no matter what I mix them with they gave me a belly ache.  (I will review the Chocolate Mint Isopure later.)  This morning Shelley and I split two shakes from Chike Nutrition.  All I have to say is ick!  The aftertaste outweighs any of its good points.  We made it in unsweetened almond milk with ice, and the aftertaste was awful!  Which is too bad because once you get it in you there are no nasty burps, and it doesn't upset my tummy like the isopure has been.  I give it 1.5 out of 5 stars, because I can't handle the nasty aftertaste.

Isopure Zero Carb Alpine Punch

So, after the sugar incident on Saturday (my sugar went through the roof because I didn't eat any carbs for breakfast) I have decided that it may be better if I do the Isopure mixed with something, because I need a little carb for breakfast.  Little did I know that the berries I threw in this morning were just what the Isopure needs to taste good.  Some tart berries, I used dole berry antioxidant mix with pomegranate, cut the over sweet taste that the Isopure tends towards and made a wonderful shake.  So, yes I know that leads to extra calories, but I don't care, best protein drink ever.  No after taste no nothing.  I give the Alpine Punch with berries mixed in a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Always,
Kris

17 days till surgery.

Isopure Zero Carb Pineapple Orange Banana

I figure while I'm going through this process I may as well share my product experiences as well.  My doctor sells to types of protein shakes,  Bariatric Advantage and Isopure.  As some of you know one of my friends had the surgery in December, and she's been drinking Isopure so I thought I would give it a try.  I found a company on ebay that sells three 3 lb buckets for $110 including shipping, and they were quick!  I ordered on tuesday, and it got here yesterday!  So this morning for breakfast I mixed one up.  My first impression was that it is really sweet.  I think in future I may water it down a bit more.  It is definitely a flavor for banana lovers.  Honestly I would not even go on the pretense that it had other flavors in it.  I would totally recommend  it for a banana lover though.  It's not especially chalky, and the after taste is no worse than any other splenda containing product.  Plus you get 50 grams of protein out of the deal, with no carbs.  I give this product 2.5 out if 5 stars, and I am looking forward to finding my flavor!  Have a great Saturday All!
Love,
Kris
