I was/am a picky eater too. most whey shakes upset my stomach, so I used pre-made vegan shakes as well as made my own. Honestly I hated every minute of that phase. The protein water made things better, I use them even now. So it was hydrating and full of protein, but not thick and heavy like the shakes. 38yo F/ 5'10"/Heaviest:275/ SW:259/ CW:235
