Have you tried the rtd premier protien shakes from Sam's Club or Costco? They have 30g protein and only 1g sugar. The chocolate is good and I mix the vanilla with chai liquid and ice for an iced chai tea latte.
No, they say whey protein but it is actually a protein blend. My guess is that the actual amount of whey protein is minimal at best. You would be much better off to add unflavored protein to yogurt, pudding and other drinks. Regular whey protein drinks will also help with your fluid intake and will actually give you what your body needs!
Back in the beginning (before I got smart) I tried one of these type protein shots and ended up in the ER with an allergic reaction. The ER Dr told me that there is something in these things that can cause that in many people.

Last week my dietician showed us the exact same shots they have at WalMart because a patient brought one in to ask if she could drink those. The dietician said that they contain collagen (that's why they have a weird consistency/mouth feel) which we can't absorb very well after surgery. She said they may seem really appealing but they are a waste of money. I'd check with your dietician before trying to switch to those.
