RTD Protein drinks

I'm usually very loyal to profect and drink one daily. In the new job my eating is getting sloppy and I'm trying to use some protei for snacks, etc -- back to basics!  Any new products that are canned/bottled and require no preparation out  there?  Ready to try something new.  Please help. Thanks,  Carol

Kashi makes some wonderful granola bars that have some protein and a good amount of fiber in them.  The Pumpkin Spice are my favorites.  I carry them in my purse at all times. I also LOVE the Nectar protein powders.  They're fruit flavor and mix nicely with crylsal lite for more variety.  I drink from a sports bottle so I don't smell the protein in them which works great!.  I've just gotten back to doing protein drinks every day.  Lately I've been mixing 1 scoop of Nectar Peach with 1 packet of peach ice tea in 20-24 oz of water and sip on that all afternoon.

Hi Dineen, I was just wondering where you buy the Nectar Protein Powders.  I use the Edge drinks every morning and there low carb and 17 protein.  Yours sounds yummy.  I would like to try it since I drink the crystal light alot too.   Thanks, Sharon

They sell them at the Drs office store.  They don't carry all of the flavors though but will order them if you ask.  You can buy samples on Susan Maria's site to try to see which ones you like the best. I'm a Peach, Ice Tea and Cherry fan myself.  I love to mix them with Crystal lite for some variety. My first year out I would mix 2 scoops (180 calories, 46g protein) with 1 packet of the Crystal lite in 20-24 oz of water and sip on that all afternoon.  Now I just do 1 scoop and 1 1/2 packets of CL in the same amount of water. I really do not like the canned protein drinks and the ones that are made with milk.  I find them too thick and heavy, plus they're hard to keep at the office (the refrigerator is always full and at the other end of the building, plus I must have them very cold or I can't drink them at all).

I do the Nectar too!  I love the Strawberry Kiwi, and the Tropical Cooler...Tropical Cooler tastes like Pina Colada.  I still do shakes.  I need to get back to basics too!  After vacation I plan on doing just shakes for a few weeks....try and get a few pounds off. Debbie

I've started drinking the Slim Fast Low-Carb shakes.  They're low in sugar and have 20g of protein.  They're nice and portable too.  I prefer the chocolate, but the vanilla's not bad.
