Alba is a powder that you mix with milk. I find it in the same aisle as Nestle Quick and tea bags, etc. Hope this helps

I used Alba back in the old Weight Watchers days. It can be found on the "diet food" aisle of most grocery stores. It does have protein but not a ton. I've always thought Alba tasted wonderful, and I was going to try it again, but after reading the label, I think it has way too much sugar and am really afraid that it would cause dumping.

I didn't find Alba- but I would like to share something I was told about in the chat room- Pure Pro- from GNC. It is already mixed- kind of like a power drink- no sugar, no fat, 1 carb, and 40 grams of protein in 22 oz that counts towards you water intake. It tastes like a strong koolaide. I will be starting it next week as I am only 4 days post op. good luck!

Alba is a diet shake mix typically found in most grocery stores. My Dr. also recommended it as a source of protein.
