Just wanted to pass on my latest discovery.....

I found these at the Vitamin Shoppe yesterday. I had never seen them before, so this might be old news to you...

I bought one and sampled it in the store. I loved it so much I bought an entire flat to bring home. About $30 for a case

Protein Plus RTD 51 - High Protein Ready-To-Drink Shake

(1) 15 ounce can contains:

250 calories

2 grams fat

9 grams carbs (3 grams from sugar)

51 grams of protein!!

I tried the chocolate and found the taste a little bland. I took a chance on the Cookies & Cream flavor and bought a case. It tastes really good. No 'gritty' texture, very smooth with a subtle sweetness. Yums!

It might taste good--but I just did a google on it. It has a propriety protein blend called Metamyosyn which is a combinations of whey and other proteins, and other vitamins, etc. Best to get whey protein if at all possible. It has whey protein, milk isolate protein, and other protiens combined together. DAVE

so it contains whey, but it's combined with other types of protein....correct? what is the advantage of whey protein versus other types?

Whey protein isolates are easiest to absorb, then whey protein. This is constantly stressed at my support group meetings. I did some googling, and there are many sites that clearly state that the whey protein is the best do to many factors, primarily it's ease of absorption. the notes about whey protein are buried in the middle of many rny descriptive sites, in the diet area.

Hey girl...

I tried it and OMG I only drank barely 1/2 and felt WAY to full. I can't imagine drinking the whole thing. I think I'm full thinking about it lol!! It was so GREAT to see you.

How was kayaking that Saturday you went?

I know!!! I had mine for breakfast and I was still full at lunch time. I ate the salmon out of the sushi roll I bought and still left three pieces behind. Did you like the taste?

The taste was quite good. Not to grainy and pretty smooth tasting. I saved the other 1/2 of the can (cause maybe I was still a little full from lunch). So I'll have it tomorrow morning and see how it sits =)
