RTD from Costco - 30 gr prot, 160 cal, good taste - review
I got it and tried it. It taste good. Not too sweet. just perfect for me.
It packs 30!!! gr of protein in 11 oz of a shake, for only 160 cal.
Negative: It comes in 18 drinks per package. And for people with lactose intolerance it may cause a trouble. It is made with concentrated milk protein, whey protein, etc. Splenda as a sweetener.
I do not remember how much the box was but it was over $20 and under $30 in Costco. good value. And Costco will take it back if you do not like it or get sick on it....
I did not care about the Premiere Nutrition protein bars (too dense, too sweet), but I sure like the drink.

I am sensitive to them too.

I asked about one protein product in Costco, a powder, and was told the company has, ummmm, a reputation. So you can discuss what is on the label, but the real issue is what is inside the container!
Based on what I heard, I personally doubt the Costco buyer is savvy and worldly-wise. And I am saying that publicly.

I know that that may be an issue. But - if nothing else - i have no choice but to follow what is published. I do not care for the powders in Costco (and have not bought any) , but I want RTD, that:
1. I can drink,
2. has no or limited soy
3. provides protein,
4 is affordable.
5. have choices with RTD (or I get bored with just Muscle Milk)
I have not found any negative info about this company. If you have any and can share (PM) I would appreciate that.
Unfortunately, I can not relay on just powders all the time. There are times that I prefer RTD (in my busy life style).

I understand that RTD is quicker. I haven't looked at the RTD's a Costco...it just happens that I saw the powder last Friday and had been doing some checking.
I generally have had some confidence in Costco, but at least in this category, that is no longer the case.
So I don't have any info either way on the RTD.
Kind regards

The ingredients do not show any sugar alcohol (i.e. malititol, sorbitol, etc.)
I think if they do not add any - they do not have to list it. They do not claim "sugar free" or "no sugar added"
(eddited for spelling - "me bad")
