IsopureZero Carb 100% Pure Whey Isolate Protein Powder, Lactose Free, Gluten Free, With Vitamins, Unflavored, 25g Protein Per Serving, 3 Lbs, 47 Servings (Packaging May Vary)

So I’ve had gastric sleeve and regained weight. I’ve been using a small dose of Mounjaro to get my weight back down and just rejump start my surgery. Since starting it i literally can’t eat or drink anything. A few sips of water and I feel extremely full. So I've had a VERY hard time getting enough to eat let alone protein. I also have an aversion to milks and protein powder. Like, I smell it and I wanna puke or taste it and gag. I drink the premier protein drinks usually but every once in a while I get a chunky one and then cannot drink them again. (Texture issues suck) I’ve tried so many protein bars and shakes and I get one bite or one sip and noooope. So I found the protein2O clear drinks (great taste but too much to drink for me for only 20 grams) and realized there’s a clear protein! Say whaaa okay so deep dive into that but find an unflavored powder and brought here. I’ve had so many experiences of being excited and then throwing up, so I was hesitant. The smell reminds me of just a carton of plain milk. No real scent per se, but that’s my best description. The directions say 1 scoop for 8 oz but I started with half a scoop in my cottage cheese and yogurt. (Since my bowl is already small, no way a whole scoop would combine into that!) and it mixed well. I do think I will try mixing just the cottage cheese with the powder and then add the yogurt as it took away the sweetness of my cherry yogurt. It didn’t change the flavor of it or anything it just diluted the flavor and added a more milk-y taste to it. Not too bad. I made it through the whole bowl and didn’t seem to have a texture issue of it being gritty or anything like that. Which could have just been my choice of cottage cheese covering the texture, but it worked. I can’t say it’s unflavored though. Like I said it gives off a milk taste. Nothing like a regular protein powder or drink though. I’m not a fan of milk so it’s still not something I’m like “yay wahoo put it in everything.!” But for now no gritty texture in my cottage cheese so that’s a great start! I might work up to adding it to other things but we will see. I don’t think it’s a good thing to mix with sweet things though like I said it diluted the favor of my cherry yogurt so just think about the things your mixing it with. Value wise 16 servings is stated on the bag compared to the 16 pack of premier protein shakes, it’s a bit cheaper than the premier protein. Not by much, but is comparable and more on the affordable side of protein for sure. It has no other fluff or frills though like the premier protein with vitamins. it’s just protein. Do with that what you will.

Listen, am I a picky eater? Maybe, maybe I am. Do I get funny about texture? Sure. BUT MOST PROTEIN POWDERS ARE AWFUL. Objectively. They taste powdery, are gritty, and just... ugh. This is the ONE protein powder I've found from 3-4 that I've tried that is AMAZING. I have no issues with this.Yeah it makes my milk taste a liiiiitle protein-powder like but its nothing compared to other powders. I mix it with chocolate milk and then use a small electric whisk to get all the clumps out.Tips: It's best to do a little bit of a scoop, stir, then put more in, stir, etc. Also, I find it best to do it in room temp milk, or leave the glass out for awhile. I normally get milk out from the freezer, mix the chocolate powder & protein powder, and then leave it out for 1-2 hours before drinking.I'm also lactose intolerant I think (not 100% sure but I avoid regular milk anyways) and this didn't give me any issues.

I absolutely love this stuff. I’ve always struggled to get enough protein, especially as a vegetarian, so this has truly been my saving grace. I just toss 3-4 scoops into my 64oz water bottle that I drink throughout the day, shake it up, and go. Super easy way to add a ton of protein into your diet and hit your macro goals. It has a slight taste but it’s very minimal and it’s actually a taste I enjoy— sort of ‘milky’ in a way, but not at all a bad way. It mixes easily into water without clumping. Low calorie. Bit pricey but definitely worth it for what you’re getting.

This seems to be a good product so far. I don't enjoy the smell but you can't really smell it once it's mixed with something. I also find that it gets really gritty, almost like bits of plastic, if you try to stir it in with liquid that is too hot. If this happens, I find that the particles itch my throat, even if I strain it. Another small issue I have is it does have a slight taste to it, even though it says its flavorless. Other than that, it seems okay.

I'm lactose intolerant and it does not seem to have caused any new stomach issues. However, it does have an absolutely noticeable milky smell and flavor - perhaps because I'm hyper sensitive from years of trying to avoid milk products. The smell was off putting at first, but I kept with it for a couple of weeks, and I think the trade-off is worth it for such a simple ingredient list compared to my past protein powders.As for the comments about it being clumpy, it's been a hit or miss for me. Still trying to figure out the best technique. When I've mixed it with my collagen, matcha or coffee powder before adding hot water, it clumps like crazy and honestly ruins the whole beverage because it's hard to get any of it unclumped. When I carefully mix it into hot liquid before putting in any of my other powders, there's usually only one to two small clumps that are easily broken up. It works really well with shakers though, but that tends to be limited to cold beverages. I've also tried sprinkling it directly onto food (i.e. spaghetti), which was a mistake lol. If you choose to go to the food route, mix it into a sauce or liquid before adding it to the rest of the dish. Works fine tossing it into overnight oats though.Hope this helps someone! Despite the aforementioned pitfalls, I still think it's worth the straightforward ingredients and protein bump.

I’m needing to add more protein to my oldest’s diet because of some medical conditions that we’re dealing with and added a couple scoops to pancake mix and it was nothing like other protein powders because this one didn’t alter the taste or texture. I’ve had pancake mix that comes already with a high protein content, and I was not the biggest fan. I will continue to use this product and add it to not just pancake mix, but will be trying other things as well. It mixed in really well & was not lumpy.
