Nature's best....chocolate pro smoothies. It is 50 grams of protein, 7 grams of carbs, 1.5 gm of fat. Really great...My friends at work bought it to me from the ymca. Give it a try.

I work at a YMCA and I wish we had smoothies, that would be great! all we have is soda and snack machines here. Is it something they make fresh there or sell pre packaged? Elaine

My YMCA has a Tropical Smoothie cafe inside it, so you can one made for you, but they dont have any that are low carb yet. I still go to Planet Smoothie when I want a SF, low carb smoothie.

Sounds great but a little heads up about the 50 grams of protein...20 grams of it is a waste. Your body cannot absorb more than 30 grams at a time. But if it tastes good and it looks like the carbs and fat are in a good range, yipee Danielle

Danielle, I never heard there was a limit to how much protein your body can absorb at one time. Did your nutritionist or doctor tell you that? Doesnt make a difference for me since most of my shakes are less than 30 any way, just curious. I have heard too many vitamins and minerals at once just get washed out, so it makes sense.

Yes, this information was given to my by nutritionist, surgeon and nurse practitioner. It is the same concept as the vitamins and minerals. Most shakes are less than 30 b/c it's generally common knowledge about the absorption. Hope that helps? Danielle -30lbs.

My nutritionist also said 30 grams is the limit. Kristen

Ruby, What is the sugar / sugar alcohol count? The rest of it sounds good to me. Vickie J.
