HELP me ID this protein

 I found a clear plastic pouch with red protein syrup in it. 

Someone gave me this at my support group meeting ages ago and I have no idea what it is.

It's "Tropical" flavor, syrupey that you add to water. I am pretty sure she orders it online and also orders some type of hot chocolate with protein.

Any ideas what brand or how much protein this might contain????

THANKS!

 Hm. I tried my best to hunt it down in google, but no results. Every single fruity-flavored liquid protein syrup/gel I have ever come across is bad news, though. They contain an incomplete form of protein which contributes nothing to your protein goal for the day. They end up being empty calories that taste awful. Being that you can't specifically identify this one, I would just steer clear of it altogether. 

This applies to any "protein shots" you see advertised, also. The protein you want to avoid is called collagen protein, which is the primary ingredient in these items.

 Thanks Biscuit! I couldn't find it either and I generally don't use these because of the collagen proteins. I already drank it but will just not count it towards my daily protein goal since I have no clue what's in it.

Sounds shady, huh??
