Multi purpose GREAT TASTING whey protein.
By BeagleGrin
This is a review of the Natures Best Isopure Natural Chocolate 3 pound tub.My mom had to use this before and just after her gastric bypass surgery. I have never been able to use whey protein, it always left me with undesired GI side effects. I got hungry and was running out the door, and she suggested I try this "shake"I was in such a hurry I took a larger jelly jar, added a scoop to about a cup of water, and shook it as I ran out the door.A serving is TWO SCOOPS, but because I didn't know how it would affect me, I only did ONE scoop to start.I hoped it wouldn't upset my stomach, but I was so hungry at that point I didn't care (side effects for other whey products often didn't till later anyway)First was texture, NOT grainy at all, and all I did was shake it a few seconds in water.Second was taste, it tasted great, reminded me of a more chocolately tasting YooHoo.Third, STOPPED HUNGER, and held me for about 3-4 hours comfortably.Fourth, is it is not flavored with artificial sweeteners. I hate those chemically tasting fake sweeteners. This product uses NO artificial sweeteners.Fifth, this product is nutritionally fortified, not only filling, it is REALLY good for you :)Sixth, compared to other mixes, this one is really NOT that expensive, and is MUCH cheaper than premade shakes.Seventh, STORAGE is easy, on the shelf, no refrigeration needed till after you mix it, and then it is so yummy you won't have any left over, but if you do, then it should be refrigerated if it is in its liquid form. But dry as purchased, it takes up LESS room, great for a renter like me who has limited shelf space and only a tiny fridge.AND, THE BEST PART, NO STOMACH UPSET AT ALL. I use this now when I need a quick snack or breakfast. If I am using it for a snack I use one scoop and I know I can go comfortably for about 3 to 4 hours. If I use two scoops, I count it as a meal and can go about 5 to 6 hours comfortably, the protein keeps me from getting hunger pains.

Great for gastric bypass patients
By Gayle Wheat
I was so tired of all the too sweet protein drinks and powders, I could hardly get them down anymore. They made me gag. This one has no flavor. I put it in my coffee every morning and I don't even taste it. If you are a gastric bypass patient, as I am, and you must use protein supplements, I highly recommend this one.

Unflavored? Not Exactly...
By A. Brown
I'll start by saying that I hate protein powders in general regardless of the flavor and I can't stand any of the low-calorie sweeteners on the market unnatural (asulfame k, asparatame, etc.) or natural (stevia, xylitol, luo han guo, etc.) Sadly, they all have some weird aftertaste to me which left me at a loss in the protein powder dept until I found this supplement.There is nothing in it except the whey protein. So the unflavored they're talking about really means it just tastes like protein which isn't altogether pleasant, but it's not bad at all and I'm able to tolerate it much better than any of the flavored proteins on the market and trust me, I've tried quite a few and wasted a good bit of $.Despite the mild flavor, I never just mix this with a liquid (milk, water, etc.) and drink it. I almost always add this to a smoothie and sometimes to oatmeal and yogurt and then it's barely noticeable except for the "fluffy" texture it adds.So if you're like me and don't like or don't want sweeteners in your powder, this product is the way to go. Also, it's 26g protein per scoop is at the high end of the average 16-20g I usually see.
