Shonda & protein drinks (was snapple popsicles)

[Guest guest]

Hi Shonda,

Doublecheck the protein drinks you've been trying. If they're an

isolate, that could be your problem. They are the most readily absorbed,

but for some of us, they hit the system TOO fast. I do have a few

isolates in my collection, but usually I mix them wth a blend, which

buffers the isolate. I think my favorite combination of that type is a

cinnamon-vanilla isolate (IDS) and a banana blend (Stack). I add a

sprinkle of clove, and it tastes like banana bread. YUM!

Thanks for the info! I checked, and, yes, they ARE isolates. One of

them says it's a concentrate and isolate--is that what you mean by a

blend? That's actually the one that makes me the most ill! Anyway,

what brands do you recommend? IDS? Of course, I just ordered the lemon

iced tea one which I believe is an isolate, too! I prefer the

chocolate flavors--well, I did before surgery, anyway! Thanks for your

reply!

Well, I'm not sure about the IDS any more, since they have changed their

formulas twice since I bought mine. I love the Cinnamon-Vanilla flavor.

Anything Nectar is an isolate.

The blends are things like the Pure Whey Stack.
