PROTEIN DRINK

[annie2867]

I bought some of that Spirutein strawberry flavor protein drink. Made it with some skim milk, banana, strawberries mango and blueberries, it still did not taste that great. Any suggestions? I was a bit disappointed to see there is only 14 grams of protein to one whole scoop which is around 100 calories, by the time you put all that other stuff in there you are way up there on the calorie count!

Yup. And that's why I love the Biotest GROW. You don't have to add anything but water to the Vanilla and it's fabulous. It has 20 grams of protein and only 110 calories.

Candi, where did you buy it?

I just looked it up. Here's a URL for it that compare prices and gives reviews:

You want the LOW CARB GROW. Same supplier but LOW CARB and less calories.

I purchase from these guys. It was discontinued for a little while because the formula was being revised so some places will still say UNAVAILABLE. These guys always have it.

I hear what your saying about added calories just to make your shake taste good...
I love GNC brand Isolated Soy Protein..Chocolate: with water or 1/2 skim milk 1/2 water and some crushed ice..very yummy..130 calories and 5 carbs and 25 grams of protein per serving..I really like it

My favorite is Instone Intake Lean Protein Drink from GNC. They make it in a few flavors but my fav is Vanilla Spice. 110 calories, 18 g protein plus 2 g premium fatty acids ( flax, DHA and CLA)and 2 g fiber. Its slightly more expensive but worth it. It doesn't have the funny texture or taste that other protein drinks have. In fact, its deliciousand very smooth. They make pudding too.

I haven't used Spirutein for a while, but I don't remember it tasting bad. Try it with just the skim milk and see if you like it that way. Maybe adding all the other stuff was too much (a blend that didn't really go together?).
