Going to try this. I have the Dymatize Vanilla, and while it's good, I find it a bit too sweet (even with 1g sugar/serving). Isopure had the perfect flavor (no sweetness) until they went and changed the formula, so I had to switch it up.
100% agree. Been using this stuff for YEARS. This new batch in the white tub is grainy, salty, leaves residue and thinner. Normally when I mix this with my coffee it's creamy and frothy, this shit is like water. I really miss the previous one and will be returning this bottle. Looks like I'll be giving the Whole Foods kind a try.
I like Isopure Zero Carb Vanilla a lot. It mixes great with Greek yogurt and is also good with coffee or chocolate milk. I don’t drink it, just with water, but it’s still good.
IsoPure Zero Carb, They carry it at costco and it's pretty good stuff
Fwiw - this is their new old formula that puts carrageenan back in. Do your own research on how you feel about it. But it causes me immediate allergic reactions. Nurri is pretty much the same.
If you want something that dissolves easily in hot or cold coffee, a whey protein isolate is usually your best bet. It tends to mix smoothly and clump less than concentrate or casein. If you truly love your coffee black and want as little flavor change as possible, there are unflavored isolates like Isopure Unflavored Whey Isolate or Naked Whey Unflavored that blend in without adding sweetness or creaminess. If you’re open to a slight flavor boost, there are some great coffee-specific proteins (I like using ON Mocha Cappuccino) that pair well with coffee without overpowering it. I’ve been using another Reddit user’s [deep dive on protein powders](https://www.reddit.com/user/Industrious_Bradly1/comments/1mv97y1/comparing_protein_powders_by_brand/) that I found. It lists the type of protein, flavor, and even price per scoop. If you’re still looking, I recommend you check it out.
Isopure because it has the best macros and I’m putting into things with flavor, since alone, it’s not flavored. PB Greek Yogurt bowl, ninja creami recipes, berry smoothies, pancake batter.
Thanks for that call out. I didn’t realize the Costco version was flavored. Bummer. This is the version I use, for anyone interested. https://a.co/d/gyAhnoP
Isopure’s unflavored whey isolate. Definitely worth a try if you just want the protein without the taste getting in the way. I’ve mixed it with banana and matcha powder, and it doesn’t overpower anything.
