ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS PROTEIN-you GOTTA try it!!!
If you are like me, you have tried at least 20 different protein powders, shakes, and anything in between. Well, my fellow Marchers I have found the best supplemental protein yet........it is called Whey-Cool. It is a soft serve ice cream; also made into shakes, dilly bar type things, frozen granitas, and sundaes and they make a hot beverage called Heat Whey've (very similar to cappucino from the machines at gas stations) Whey-Cool is a small franchise in Wisconsin and Illinois, and growing and spreading rather quickly. In a 4 oz serving of any of the products, hot, cold or frozen there is 20 grams of protein, 5 net carbs (1.5 of them sugar), 4.5 grams fat, and 145 calories. They have a web site (www.whey-cool.com) you can visit to see the products they have and compare to other similar products. I emailed one of the people directly after having a shake in the Clinic lobby last week and praised them for the quality and deliciousness and suggested they market the product especially for WLS patients, they responded very quickly to me that same day and offered samples and coupons for our WLS support group. I dont know how hard it will be for people out of the midwest area to get this, but it wont hurt to put in a word that you are interested in trying it. I was told at the cafe in Marshfield that the intention is to sell the Heat Whey've powder mix in canisters to make at home in the near future. And when I asked about any places closer to me that sell the product, I was given the name of two "Curves for Women" locations in nearby cities that carry the frozen hard packed ice cream and lollys (similar to a dilly bar dipped in sf dark chocolate)
I hope you get a chance to try this, you will be amazed....two different times I had two of my children and mother with me when we had the various products and everyone raved over them and could hardly get enogh...what a change from some of those yucky powders, bars, and shakes.
I am confident you will agree on this one if you are able to try it, if you arent able, sorry for tantilizing your taste buds and making you curious!!! Janelle
