:biggrin:

They are awesome!!! Taste is great!!!!

The mix itself is 21gms of Protein plus the milk is 29gms! It also has 7gms of fiber! It did not taste gritty or funky as some Protein Drinks can...

my nutritionist also said i can add 1/3 cup of dry powder milk to this for 36gms of protein!!!

I was able to find mine at our local Kroger store, but you can order them online..

Thank you! I have heard other people say these are really good, too. I think the dry powder milk is a great idea for any Protein Drink. I will try these.

Ooohh, I have never heard of their shakes. Sounds good! Everything else they make is good....well except the frozen dinners. I also add powdered milk to my morning coffee instead of Creamer just to get a little extra protien in. It is not half bad. Its not as creamy but it doesnt Water it down like skim or regular milk.

I was very excited to hear about these shakes. I am desperately trying to find a Protein Shake I can tolerate. I went to Kashi's web site and was disappointed to see that the shakes have about 33g of carbs - not good for a diabetic. So, if carbs are an issue - need to be careful with the kashi shakes. It's probably why they taste so good.:biggrin:

Acutally my best friend is a diabetic nurse educator and a diabetic herself...

The carb total on my can is 32gms...the Fiber is 7gms so you can subtract the fiber from total carbs and that gives you a net carb of 25gms.

I have a horriable gag reflex and most Protein Shakes really gagged me...this was good!

My nutritionist also said that i could do 8 oz of milk, 1/3 cup dry powder milk, and a sugar free instant Breakfast which gives you about 21 gms of Protein depending on what instant breakfast you use.

I have also been told to add the powder milk to 8 oz of skim milk and use that to make puddings and soups...

I don' know what I would be doing if I hadn't come across your post! You are my savior. I tried a few Protein drinks before surgery and they made me gag. Then I read your post and bought the Kashi and it saved me I have no trouble drinking 3 a day. (I cut the suggested serving in half).

Thank-you for sharing! If only the rest of my post-op was as easy

Glad i could help!!! Just a suggestion...add in 1/3 cup of dry powder milk to the kashi...you get 8 more grams of Protein and it does not change the taste. Made it more "creamy"...

I also make a shake using 8 oz of skim milk, 1/3 cup dry milk, and 1 package of sugar free carnation instant breakfast...23gms of protein...and tasty!!!!!
