Yes: As long as the juice is not red or purple in color. Myriad would have been an easier bowel prep.

There are CLEAR why protein drinks like Isopure, 24 hours before a colonoscopy, because they are clear, can they be consumed? Protein is healthier and more filling. My PC prefers me to not drink sugars in fruit juices or in Sprite(nor the CO2)?
