It is the protein drink of choice for me! I drink one as my breakfast and then one later in the day if I have been low on protein that day. Good Luck!

Both hubby and I (almost 2 weeks post-op open RNY) LOVE these protein shakes. They are hi in protein and low in sugar and fat and taste GREAT!!! We have 2 protein shakes a day but usually use powder unless on the run then have an Ultra Pure Protein Shake - only due to cost. All flavors are great tasting. We prefer Extreme Pure Pro powder. It comes in Tropical Punch and Grape - mixed with Crystal Light - it's GREAT TOO! Good luck!

This is my canned protein drink of choice. I love the cappucino. I order them by the case from http://www.netrition.com. Not sure this is the *best* price, but I like their delivery service and the free items they throw in for orders of a certain minimum $ value. I keep these in my refrigerator at work so they are ALWAYS cold!!

I absolutely love this protein drink. I, too, buy them by the case. I usually get a case of the strawberry creme at The Vitamin Shoppe. I have to hide them from my kids, they taste like a strawberry milkshake. The cappucino is good too, but I prefer the strawberry creme.

Where all can this be found and is it correct that this product is called "Ultra Pure Protein Shake" and who is it made by etc? I'd be interested in finding this product either online or locally. I live in Oregon.
