Does Anybody Drink Protein Drinks?

I bought some from Costco a few months ago and just finished them all up.

So, I ordered a different kind on Amazon today and will get them tomorrow. I ordered Boost Very Vanilla. I think each one has 20 grams of protein. I plan on having one as a meal as the carb content would be too high combined with a meal of more carbs. By itself, though, it is well within my carb limit for a daily meal.

So does anyone else drink protein drinks?
 

We have Core Power at work. They have several flavors available but we get 3. I like the chocolate the best. They have 26 grams & 42 grams. The 42 took some getting used to. They tasted funny at first.

That's a good amount of protein in them.
 

I don't drink protein drinks....I mostly drink Diet Cranberry Juice....for my condition...and put a little unsweetened cranberry in the juice...

Yes, you is! :D ;) :giggle:
 
I usually have a Premier Protein drink at breakfast with some yogurt or toast. I'm not very hungry in the morning, and it has more nutrition than just coffee...

We had those at work for a while. I didn't care for the taste too well.
 
I've used the Atkins strawberry shake 160 calories with 15G protein, 1G fiber, and 1G net carbs.

Also, the Atkins Plus chocolate shakes 190 calories with 30G of protein, 7G of fiber, and 2G net carbs.

I like them both and appreciate the lower carbs.

Check the Atkins website for a coupon or special offer before you shop. They also mail coupons from time to time if you sign up for their mailing list and email special offers.
 
Another low-cost readily available option to consider is adding a glass of milk to one or two meals each day.

Two 8oz. glasses of skim milk each day will provide 16G protein, 24 carbs for 180 calories with no added sugar. Whole milk, 2% , 1% and skim rich offer the same amount of protein.

I got the Boost I ordered and have had some in place of a few meals--just wasn't hungry at all--Wow, did they ever give me a boost! Just like their name. I mainly got them because I skip meals and that's not good--I need nutrients and protein and these drinks have a lot and they are also at a better price than many of the others. The *Very Vanilla* flavor tastes good to me, too. I know I will purchase them again.

PS. You can see the nutritional content in post #8.
 
I keep a few on hand in the frig for times when I just don't feel up to making a meal.
