Guest guest Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 I was wondering if anyone knows about the protein crystals? Is there anything out there that isn't in a shake form? I keep reading about chocolate and vanilla, is there anything like a flavored drink in orange or strawberry etc.. These crystals say you can add then to water or just pop them in your mouth. Has anyone wlse tried these? Do they take horrible also? I need something that I can take to help me get my protein in, and the one I have is nasty Thanks, a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 a - See if you can get Isopure zero carb drinks. They come in 40 oz. glass bottles in 5 different flavors - grape, tropical punch, blue raspberry, apple watermelon, and orange. They are pricey, like $3.50 a bottle. there's 40 grams of protein in one bottle, and absolutely NO carbs and NO sugars. I drank a half bottle at a time. These are tart and the consistency of gatorade. I had to have my local GNC special order them for me because they didn't normally carry them. I know I found some online as well, but shipping glass bottles isn't cheap. I ordered a free sample of the protein crystals, but am still waiting to receive it. Jeanne in WI Age 39 - Dr. T.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Thanks for the info!! I also just ordered a sample of them too!! Well have to try them and see if they are as tasty as they claim they are I think I have drank one of these in the orange. My gym has drinks and this sounds like them. I had the orange and it upset my stomach, so I'll have to try another flavor. Thanks again, a Re: Protein Drinks??? a - See if you can get Isopure zero carb drinks.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Pam Brehm (from this list) and I are getting together every week or so to try protein samples that we've ordered. This past week we tried the Caribbean Cooler and thought it kinda tasted like liquid red Jell-O. A nice change from the chocolate shakes and maybe a good summer drink. > What are you using now?

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Oooops! You're right. It was Very Cherry Berry. Maybe we'll try the Caribbean Cooler next and I'll add some rum extract and pretend it's a pina colada!

I loved that malt taste! <<< Malt taste?? In Pure Whey Stack??? Wow, I drink it all the time and I don't taste a malt taste. The ProScore 100, on the other hand, seems to have a malt flavor to me. I guess we all taste things differently! BTW, I have tried the Cherry Berry and Apple Nectars. Yummy, especially the apple. Tonight I am going to try the Carribean Cooler. Nice change for the summer. But my main stay is still the Whey Stack. I am in heaven when I drink it. I have been in Reno for the past week and my schedule got all screwed up. I really found myself craving the Whey Stack if I was running later than usual. Sheri In Sunny Florida - and glad to be back home - it snowed in Reno!!

But most of the time, I just stick to the Chocolate Whey stack mixed with about 6 ounces of water and an ice cube floated in the glass. I guess I'm pretty boring.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Well for starters I'm pre-op and I have tried the crystals and I can tell you they don't mix in water at all. I just had some while sitting here and it is like candy and sweet and tart and It is something you can't eat alot of at one sitting I have been working on this same package for days. So my conclusion is there just for an extra candy type thing. I have bought some Rasberry Infusion 5000 and have been mixing it with natural peach fruit 2 0 and I would have to say I love it and I have not liked the shakes to well and hoping my tastes do change after surgery. Try the infusion 5000's from VitaMom it comes in Grape too. nette in MO. Dr Eagon/STL/May 7th > I was wondering if anyone knows about the protein crystals?

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Dear a, My best friend had her WLS two months before I did and is also having trouble getting her protein in. I think she was tired of me nagging her (LOL) so she recently ordered some Cheramino from Mom http://www.vitalady.com/ " >Vitalady.com - Protein Supplements, Vitamins & Minerals, and Safe Snacks! She said it isn't too bad. I asked her what that meant and she said it was " do-able, " if you know what I mean. She hated the taste of whey protein (all kinds) and couldn't drink an entire shake. They made her gag. The Cheramino is like a ... hm? How did she describe it? I sort of sweet-sour honey/molasses consistency. She takes two TBS, twice a day. She said it was like taking cough syrup. Not great but better than drinking a large shake, 3-4 times a day. She said she has a glass of very cold water that she chases the TBSs with. It helps. Give it a try or buy a sample from Mom. It's giving her 60 grams of protein beside what she eats. She also drinks 1-2 Carb Solutions drinks from Wal-Mart. Take good care. Love, Trace in Va. Beach, VA Dr. Schechner, Va.
