Protein Shots

[adagray 1]

Just want to share the great deal I found on Protein Shots online. Previously, I had bought a bunch at costco before my surgery (12 for $18 I think). Each Protein shot is only 4oz and has 25g of protein. They come in orange and fruit punch flavor (kind of tastes like unset jello).

Anyway, I was about to run out so was gonna pick up more at Costco yesterday and they didn't have them anymore. Ugh! And, they are super expensive if you just buy them one at a time from Target or other stores. So, I searched online and found that you can buy them directly from the maker now and they are having a buy one 12-pack, get one 12-pack free right now. The price is higher ($25), but since you are getting two for that price, its like getting each 12-pack for $12.50 (about $1 per shot which is awesome). And, shipping is free for US orders.

I'm going to try it. Be great to stick in your purse when you're on the go.

I'm going to order too! Which flavor do you prefer?

Thanks for the info Adagray, that is a great savings. I prefer the orange mixed with orange crystal light. I credit this product for my good recovery from getting my arms reduced and chest put back where it belongs.

I prefer the orange, but I do like the fruit punch too.

I tried one from Wal-Mart (can't remember the brand), but they had a strange taste to them. Do these have a weird taste to them?

[DizzyLizzy 21]

I think they taste weird. Right after surgery, I spazzed out wondering how I was going to get enough protien in on fluids only and bought a BOX, had 24. I couldn't even get through a whole tube it was so thick and gross and super sweet to me. Tried to finish the tube the next day and just the smell grossed me out. I haven't had one since...all 23 of them are still sitting in the pantry.

I have never heard of these but I am interested. I have difficulty always getting in enough Protein and I am not a big fan of Protein Shakes. Do you just use them once or twice a day. Give me some ideas on when and how often to use these, do you mix them with other drinks, drink them straight, what??

[adagray 1]

I actually don't have trouble getting my Protein in, but I use them for the following situations:

* before exercising in the morning instead of having Breakfast (I don't like the feeling of food in my stomach right before I exercise, but my doc says I need to eat within 2 hours of waking up)

* if I want a high carb meal (like cereal), I will have a Protein shot w/it so that it will keep me full longer (normally, high carb/low protein meals don't keep me full very long)

* keep one in my purse so if I am hungry and don't have any band friendly options available, I can drink one of these and it will keep my stomach from growling for another hour or two until I can get some real food

* for after a fill when I am only allowed Clear liquids (my doc wants me on Clear Liquids for 72 hours after a fill and there's no way I could do that w/no protein - she considers the protein bullets clear liquid so I can have these, though)

For those that don't like the taste or consistency, I guess I should've been more clear that I use these strictly for nutritional purposes. I don't LOVE the taste either, but I don't hate the taste either. Its very artificial tasting (like unset jello), but it is only 3 oz so even if you don't love the taste, its not much you have to drink and gives you a big bang for your buck. I don't think you can get 25g of protein down faster in any other form. You could mix it w/water or other liquid, but I think they taste fine on their own. I should add that I like them at room temperature better than refrigerated. The first time I tried one, I refrigerated it first and I think it just made it taste stronger and thicker.

I just ordered both flavors so I have 4 boxes on their way to me... I am a BIG fan of mixing my crystal light flavors and making my own concoctions so I guess I can use these to help liven things up a bit... Now that I'm back at work, this will probably give me the extra Protein I am having a hard time getting in... I can cut out a shake... Plus I like the idea of having one in my bag when I'm out and about. It will keep me from being tempted by Big Juicy $6 burgers at carls Jr which I used to LOVE....

Thanks for the heds up on the great deal... Hope I can tolerate them... I just spent $49.90 on them... They outta last me about 3-4 months. I don't see me using them every single day...
