Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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.
