Michala......

What is the name of the protein from GNC that you like so much? I am in dire need of something I can stand to swallow.

Bre

Hi Bre---okay--it's GNC's AMP in CHOCOLATE (I tried Vanilla today & it wasn't great), but the chocolate tastes just like Hershey's Quick....in fact, some protein supplement/shakes have a yucky aftertaste & this one just gets better & better.

PREPARE IT:  I use a shaker (which I also bought at GNC and it has a metal ball in it--I like that b/c it really breaks down all the protein clumps) and then put one full scoop of the powder in the shaker with about 4-6oz of water (not more or it is too thin).  Then I add some crushed ice or even just an ice cube and shake, shake, shake (this is where having three little ones comes in handy...they LOVE to jump around shaking mommy's protein for her...it's hilarious!)...anyway.....then I actually trick myself and pour mine out of the drinkable shaker (remove any of the ice cube that's left) and into one of my kid's cute plastic kid's cups b/c it really reminds me of Hershey's Quick or Chocolate Milk (the colder the better)!  LOVE IT!  

Prep'd like this it gives you 23gm Protein and 93 Calories per scoop!!!!! I can get the 4-6oz down relatively quickly---like 5 minutes or so....easy!  I also ran the entire nutrition label by Pam Helmlinger, R.D. at Centennial & she said it was great!

I have no problem getting my protein in...had it all in by 3pm today...easy.  I bought mine from the GNC at Cool Springs. The boy who worked there was helpful (his mom had WLS a few years ago & uses this, too).  AND they had sample bags for about $23.00 vs. whatever you pay for the big, huge tub (pictured below).  That way I could try it before I bought the industrial size.....Here's the info for the tub (but get the sample bag--it will last you at least a week or more):

Once per day as a dietary supplement, consume 1 serving (73g) of Amplified Whey Protein™ mixed with 14-16 fl. oz cold water 30 minutes after your workout. On non-training days, consume one serving first thing in the morning. For extreme results, take twice a day, pre- and post-workout.
