Visit your local Vitamin Shoppe Does anyone know anything about this? It's made by the same people that make the Cytosport ready-to-drinks that beat Isopu(ke) hands down. Is this for us - or "body builders?" Just curious at that price!  BTW - I bought some Nectar (Latte) in the cappaccino flavor - it's awesome! I'm sure ya'll have mentioned it 14 times and I missed it, but in case anyone else did too, its a nice, light coffee flavor - put full of protein! And it's really yummy with a scoop of cappaccino and a 1/2 scoop of Matrix 5.0 (chocolate). Mixed in about 14oz of water w/ a splash of SF Fr. Vanilla coffee mate and some splenda. It's a warm liquid breakfast/dessert!  (about 30g protein and 14-16oz of fluid --- hit two birds w/ one stone a couple times a day) Anyway... just got the above ad via email and wondered about it... thanks for any input!  ~ Tara

I think that's a bit high in carbs for us. I try to keep my protein powders in the 3 carb grams or less category and at least 20 protein grams. I'm glad you liked the Nectar Cappuccino. I start every day with a homemade cappuccino with an added scoop of Nectar Cappuccino. Between the skim milk and the Nectar, my morning coffee gives me 31 grams of protein to start my day.

Hi Ms. Tara: I agree with Susan, I think it is high on the carb side. Have you ever tried the New Whey bullets Liquid Protein.  I was doing those for quite a while then I had a burn out on em.   Then I saw where Melinda posted one day that she made her Sugar Free Jell-o with it and I thought that was a fabulous idea.... I sure missed you at the dinner..  Hope to see you at the lunch bunch.  Wear your tiara cause you will be so skinny since last time I saw you that I won't recognize you.  Hugs and lots of love.... Trina

Tara: I've had it...bought it before I knew what I was doing.  It made me sick as a dog!!!  Too much sugar for me and it has an icky aftertaste (to me.) Love Nectar Cappuccino!!!!  Susan hooked me up on that one with a sample or two.  I convinced the guys at the Cool Springs Vitamin Shoppe to keep it in stock.  Yummy!  Also, the Chocolate Truffle is delicious!!!! :)  Freddie
