At least yummy to me. I have been having so much trouble drinking those Protein drinks after surgery. Tonight I went to Walmart and came across Odwalla Protein Monster chocolate protein. A serving is 8 oz and had 18 grams of protein. Downside is the serving size is large and it has 25 grams of sugar but for an occasional treat, it was not too bad. I think I could even beef it up with one of the premade whey shakes and it would still taste good.

My other is for the coffee lover. This one could be warmed up or put on ice. Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein Mocha Cappuccino. There is 10 grams per 8 oz serving but again, lot of sugar. Damn...didn't see all the sugar till I got home though I did note that they are from apple juice and organic cane juice. I was way too excited over the protein. I found both a Walmart in 1 qt containers by the orange juice section. I think I will call the company and see if they make a sugar free version.

Ahhhh......I would recommend to go to Trader Joe's or GNC and get some Pure Protein Frosty chocolate (or vanilla) shakes. They are great. 35 G of protein, and only 4G of carbs, 2g sugar and only 170 calories. That's alot of protein for 170 calories.

You know, our PA told us that your body can only use 30 grams of Protein at a time and consuming more than that was a waste. I have never heard that before and need to research it. What if you drink (pr eat) it over a long period of time?
