New Protein Juice type Drink have you tried it?

I just found these  protien whey stuff you add to water from Costco.  It looks like a good thing?  Has anyone tried this  15 gr of Protein per thing.  they cost like $22.00 I got them shipped with tax and everything for $32.54 and it is for 20 servings.  Flavors sound delicious to me Peach Mango and Fruit Punch.  I like the fact that you add it to your water. That sounds great to me.  and at 15 grams that could really help.  Calories are 80 though I don't know if that is high or not.  So you would count this for your protein and for your water is that right?  I hate protein shakes, so if this tastes anygood, they have my business.   If anyone has any comments or thought please share.

too many calories for me, plus, where is the protein from? what type is it? brand name?

 

From what I could see it is Whey protein.  Why do you think 80 calories is a lot.  I am new here and about to have surgery.  I know that we are to take in 60-90 gr protein a day, but I am so confused as to how many calories a day etc.  Currently I am on the liquid diet prior to surgery so I am having 3 protein shakes a day at apx. 140-160 calories each. All low fat and only 1 gram of sugar.  I am told after surgery I am to have 90 grams of protein daily.  After 2-4 weeks soft diet and then normal food, with restrictions.  Nothing fried nothing over 5 g sugar.  High protein.  But I would be more comfortable if they made it easy, like 90 grams protein  XX amount carbs max.  Xxxxx amount of calories per day.  Does anyone out there know? Maybe I should call my nutritionist and ask?   Thanks so much   Rhonda

Rhonda, the best protein that you can get is one that is a whey isolate instead of a a whey concentrate.

How do you tell which is which?  Can you tell if this product is an isolate or a concentrate.  I went ahead and ordered it so maybe I will be able to tell when I get it?   Liz can you tell me why an isolate is better than a concentrate?  I am sorry to sound stupid, but honestly this is all so new to me.  I so hate the taste of these protein shakes, I am at the point I will try anything.  thanks so much for your help, I am so getting and education on these boards

Rhonda,  Read the label.  I am almost 4 years out and there are several that I really do like.  Do you have a vitamin shoppe near you?  The nectars by syntrax are  whey isolate.  They have one I like it is strawbrry or strawberry kiwi and I mix it with crystal light lemonade.  It tastes a bit like strawberry lemonade.

 Rhonda - The Weider quick2sip protein singles are whey isolate.  FYI, each gram of protein has 4 calories.  So, a supplement with 15g of protein has to have a minimum of 60 calories.  I'd say 80 calories is not bad, if you like it.  Let me know how it tastes, okay?  I am doing the pre op shakes and am getting a kittle sick of the few brands I have.  d2k
