READ US OFF THE NUTRITION LABEL:

PER SERVING (SCOOP) WHAT ARE THE
CALORIES
PROTEIN
CARBS
FAT
in grams.....
What are the ingredients (what type of protein such as whey concentrate, whey isolate, casein,milk protein, soy etc)

Remember the guideline nomore than 30g protein can be absorbed well at one sitting/serving....

This looks like maybe a 2 scoope serving which is a waste use one scoop with ice and water only mix in a magic bullet type blender..nomilk it adds caloreis and carbs.
RULE OF THUMB on a good whey protein is this:
90-120 cal scoop/serving for 90-120 calories, 0-3g fat, 0-4g carbs and 20-26g protein....
Whey concentrate or isolate or blend of 2 is best for highest bioavailability (over milk/casein/soy etc)

That is what I used before and after surgery. The vanilla is what I tried and it was really good. Sounds good to me. Christine

ohh thanks so much jamie! that one is the exact one i have, i was worried when it said bodby builders use it lol. i dont want to be buff, just well lean lol. ok 1 scoop, and no milk? how bout skim milk? or soy? thanks alot this helps, now im off to have my protein breakfast!

btw, can i drink any ol kind of soy milk? i got some soy milk but it isnt the light kind, just calcium fortified, and it has only 8 carbs, and 3 grams of sugar.   i kinda like it, but it gives off a beaney smell and taste, i guess i have to get used to it. 1% milk gave me the runs :-(

have you tried it yet?  is it any good?  i still cannot find one i can stomache... i know i dont get enough protein...but hate the taste of every protein shake i try.  i was hoping you would say it is awesome:) !!

Hey Nanette,

This is the brand that I am currently using.  I thought the chocolate was ok, but really gave me Medifast flashbacks.  The Cookies and Cream version is a little on the sweet side, but was pretty good.  I am currently using the Vanilla, I use crystal light to mix it up and sometimes put a spoon of french vanilla yogurt (sugar free fat free, I think it Dannon, but not sure) and it tastes like a fruit smoothie.  Like Jamie said I just use one scoop of the powder to make my shake.

Good Luck

Jim 

I have Vanilla protien from Walmart...and Strawberry Protien from Vit. World that I do not use A.T.M.

 

The protien shakes a I got from Vitalady are too foamy....

 

the protiens that Jamie gave me....make me vomit 3 hours later....

GRRRRRR 

OMG I love the protien shake that Jamie has up top.  I use it every morning with water and if feel like I really got a good jump on my morning.  It is hard to get all your protien in BUT atleast of you have this youkow you have gotten something your need.  AND by the way.  SOY milk does take sometime to get used too.  i do not drink it BUT I like a little bit on ceral or oatmeal.  It does take some time to get used to it.  Good luck to all!!  XXOO

Hey all thanks u so much for replying to my post. Well im sorry i wont lie, this one is kinda .. well i dont like it.. lol, the medifast tastes better then this one. but i was told that if i drink my medifast, that is equal to one meal, and my surg wants me to eat.

anyways i went on eggface's website and she had some really good protein drink mix, and im gonna try that with this protein .

thansk everyone!
