they are good i think you can drink them straight they taste like jello sorta, or you can pour them in water, but many nutritionists think you should only drink half then wait 2 hours to drink the other half cause the body can only absorb about 30 grams of protien in 2 hours and the otehr 12 is wasted otherwisel

Actually it has not been proven that the body can only absorb 30 at a time.  You will be safe in taking the entire 42 because your body will absorb what is needed and dispel the rest through urine.  The problem lies when people try to add protein powder to these drinks to up the protein levels into the 60's and then do it in one sitting, thinking "I've got my daily protein intake for the day."  Thus, the reason they suggest doing it throughout the day.  Each person is different, you may only need 12 g protein at that time, or you may need all 42.  The body keeps what it needs. You can add these 3 oz to jello (when you add the cold water, use 3 oz bullet and 5 oz water instead) and have protein jello.   You can also add water and a packet of splenda and ice and have a slushy. You can also take a bottled water, add one packet of grape crystal lite or koolaid and then use some of that, pour in the 3 oz bullet and then put into ice trays for little popsicles
