Morning all...I do not, as a habit, enjoy Whey Protein drinks/shakes.  I will make them, but no matter what flavor or flavoring I use, I choke it down. Welllllllllll...I was at Trader Joe's yesterday and found a canned Protein drink/shake I hadn't had before.  It is "Worldwide Pure Protein Shake", Frosty Chocolate flavor, 170 calories, 35 grams of protein, 4 grams carbohydrate, 1 gram of fat and 2 sugars with 1 gram fiber.  The texture is nice, not thin and not gloppy.  It was a bit pricy at $2.29, but since I drank the whole thing and it filled me up and satisfied a need a "hint" of sweetness, I highly recommend it.  It is as close to the "bad" slimfast drinks as I've ever had, without the sugar but WITH needed protein...and it still has a wonderful flavor when reaching room temperature.
Enjoy your day and see you at Trader Joe's.....

Hi Kim...You are right....I love those too!!!

I usually buy them from the Vitamin Shoppe website and it saves a little $$$.  My favorites are the Cookies 'n Creme and Banana flavors.  Yummo!!!  My Trader Joe's only carries the chocolate and vanilla, that's why I order on-line.

Thank you Laura...I went to the website and ordered enough to get the free shipping.  It will save a few cents per can, plus driving time and expense!  So often since having WLS, I just don't feel like eating a full-on meal, but I know I need my nutrients...this will do the job perfectly.  I orderd 4 different flavors...that should give me enough variety plus keep my pouch in good shape  ..  lol 
Thanks again!

They're awesome..I buy the flats at Vitamin Shoppe and usually have one for breakfast everyday.

I have been enjoying these shakes since before surgery.  If you find them cheaper on Vitamin Shopps website, take the page to the store and they will match the price. At the store, they allow me to mix flavors to make up a case.  The banana, chocolate and coffee flavors are my favorites.

I will definatly do that.  I had to buy individual cases of the flavors on-line...I like the idea of mixing up the flavors.  I had the Vanilla flavor today...it just didn't hit the spot...still has that Whey'ey flavor.  I brought one to a friend at bowling..she loved it...the Frosty Chocolate.  I'm all for spreading the good news of good nutrition and truely good supplements!
thanks again...

I use the vanilla as creamer in my coffee.  Sometimes I make blended shakes with fresh fruit , ice and splenda. I will try many things just to get the protein down!  Experiment with different things.
