I’ve got a colonoscopy coming up soon and I’m trying to get ready for the clear liquid diet phase. From what I’ve seen, most of the drinks allowed are basically just sugary fluff — juice, sports drinks, etc. Are there any high protein clear liquid diet drinks that are residue-free and suitable for colonoscopy prep? Hoping to avoid feeling totally drained. Any recommendations would be super helpful!
Yep, there are a couple. Isopure Infusions is my go-to — 20g protein, totally see-through. Tastes like fruit water, not a shake. You’ll find it at GNC or on Amazon.
Ruby, I’m with you — all that sugar gets old fast! I like Protein2o. Peach Mango is refreshing, 15g protein, and it doesn’t feel heavy. I usually keep them chilled and sip like flavored water.
I just bought Ensure Clear because that’s what the pharmacy had. The label says 8g protein. BUT the grape one looked too dark, so I stuck with the apple flavor. Anyone else tried these?
Just a gentle reminder — check the label carefully. If it says “shake well before use,” it’s not truly clear. Same with powders. Stick to bottled options that are transparent when you pour them into a glass.
I felt the same way before mine recently. I used Isopure Tropical Punch — kept me from feeling wiped out. Honestly, you’ll be fine. Deep breaths and lots of water alongside the protein drinks.
