Has Anyone Tried Isopure Alpine Punch Protein Powder?
Has anyone out there tried any of the Orange or Alpine Punch Isopure Protein Powder? I have tried the Chocolate AMP and cant seem to choke it down. Most of the powders smell like spoiled milk and have a horrible taste. I know the Isopure pre mixed are good so now i am curious about the powder. Any help is appreciated.

I had a roommate that tried isopure and hated it. If you’re looking for a low-cal, yummy tasting protein powder, here are my top 3 favorites (and prices for ~20 servings of 20 grams of protein):
1) Metabolic Drive Super Protein (Chocolate, $34)

2) Muscle Milk (Chocolate, $24)

3) Iovate Six Star Body Fuel (Chocolate, $20)

If you just want something cheap, ON-1 Gold Standard Whey is not offensive tasting and is $40 for about 80 servings.

Also note that my #1 pick is more expensive, but it’s a mix of whey protein isolates as well as casein. The difference is that protein isolates digest quickly while casein stays in your system longer — the mix theoretically will help you build more muscle since your body will get both the immediate protein it needs post workout plus stuff to work with while you rest. Plus it’s delicious.
And if you don’t trust my list, here’s Men’s Health.

And if one of these still tastes sketchy to you, mix it with milk instead of water, or try adding some ovaltine.
