The problem with these is that the main source of Protein is collagen, which is not what our bodies can really use. Therefore, even though it says it's 42 g of protein, we can only use a fraction of that - I think I read someone else's post that said only 10 g or so actually count, although I haven't researched it myself. My dietitian said to stay away from collagen protein sources & only stick with whey or soy isolate sources.

EAS Advantage Carb Control. 17 grams of whey and soy Protein comes in 2 chocolate flavors, strawberry, vanilla and new carmel. I just got the carmel to try out, These are sugar free as well and taste good

my nut said NO collagen based Proteins so I would look for something else to make sure you get the Protein you need.
