My NUT recommended them to me yesterday because I just cant stomach those thick protein shakes and eww these are gross too. Only thing I like is that I can get it over with quicker than a shake. I tried blue raspberry. I think i need to try different flavors. Hopefully I will not get nauseous at the first sip of these in the future.

These are not a good source of protein! Most of it's collagenated protein and we won't absorb it! They are useless for us!

When I drink them I mix one in a crystal light drink. It helps you get it down. You will have to play with the flavors though. Just a suggestion.

You are getting almost ZERO protein from these and if you continue using them long term, your health si going to suffer.  Please stop using them and use a whey protein supplement with all the amino acids needed to absorb the protein!

They taste nasty and do not provide the protein you need.  Throw them away.

Yep, throw them out.  You are getting almost ZERO protein from them since they do not have all the amino acids necessary to absorb the protein (and collagen is a crappy form of protein even if we COULD absorb it).  Do other patients a favor and let your nutritionist know this so (s)he will quit recommending them to people!  (S)he is unknowingly endangering people's health by recommending a product where people THINK they are getting 25 (or 40) grams of protein when they are getting almost NONE.

This, unfortunately,  is the indicator that your NUT doesn't know what they are talking about,  These are useless, except as a way to get empty calories.
