Good Morning. New protein shake recommendation

MajorMom
on 3/19/12 8:13 pm - VA
I saw a positive review of Nectar's new protein shake, Double Stuffed Cookie, and wanted to let you know I tried it and it's a keeper. My son, who is a picky protein shake drinker, likes it, so it must be good. It has no whey taste that I could detect and apparently he can't either. Yesterday, I made his with just 1/2 & 1/2, water and 1 1/2 scoops of protein. He liked it fine...said there were all kinds of chocolate cookie pieces settled in the bottom that were good. (He had let it sit a little too long without shaking it up.) 

Today I made it the same except I added a squirt of Hershey's lite chocolate syrup. It should be double good.  

Anybody got any good reviews to share?

I love chocolate so I'll order that on my next order.

I went back to an oldie but goodie yesterday.  When I ordered the new Unjury cheese sauce I had ordered a tub of chicken soup.  So yesterday I mixed leftover cooked brocalli, the chicken soup and some cheese and had a great bowl of soup for lunch.  I tend to forget about it and it is not only a great protein for early out when everything taste too sweet and you are sick of shakes, but it is still great now for a change and easy lunch.  The Unjury cheese was great when I first used it but towards the end, I got sick of the flavor.  You do have to use it quickly and keep it in the frig.  I think I would have liked it better if I could have used it more slowly over a longer time.

 Price,
How is the chicken soup?  I bought a sample but haven't tried it yet.  My MIL makes the real thing every Friday night so I've been a bit "chicken" to try this.  Never realized they also made a cheese sauce. Cheese is one of my favorite things to eat.  I especially like Manchego cheese with apple slices.  But, manchego cheese is ridiculously expensive.

When I want a breakfast cereal I use Kellog's Protein Special K.  It has 10 grams of protein and I use it with milk that has 11 grams a cup.

also, Nature Valley now makes a protein bar with 10g of protein.  Good to keep in the car for emergencies.

Certainly not as good as the real thing!!!  But it taste like boxed broth or a boulioon cube desolved in water.  The cheese is cheddar and I used it over veggies and in soup.  It is picky about temp and will curddle if you get it too hot.  they say to keep it refrigerated and use it in 4 weeks I think, maybe sooner.  it's ok but not the most wonderful thing I have ever had.

My new fav is vanilla protein powder, water, one orange crsytal light stick, some pineapple flavor or a few chunks and a half of banana with ice cubes in the blender.
Dont mind chocolate, but need a change of pace from time to time.
Got some peaches and cream to try from about time, will let you know.

Maria,
That sounds so good.  I'm going to have to print this out when I get home.  I think that is something I would really like.
Thanks

I'm definitely going to check this out!  I love the Matrix (Syntrax) Mint Cookie but I need another chocolate.   I only drink the Mint Cookie in the morning because of the carbs.
