Protein Bullets?

Hey folks - anyone use the New Whey Protein Bullets? If so, who has the best price on them? I was thinkin of getting a pack of 12 of the fruit punch to try. Thought I could add to my Crystal Light Fruit Punch for sippin throughout the day during the liquid only phase  post-op. They have 42 grams of protein. Anyone else done this? Thanks! 

Hey Bob! I hope you are doing well...I love to read your post and love your sense of humor!!
I tried these soon after surgery and drank it straight...then dumped...yuck. Mixing it with something would be the way to go. I priced them recently at Ingles and they were 3.99 each.
Good luck and wishing you many successes!!

Thanks Betsy. I like to laugh and have fun. I try to find humor in things whenever I can. Life is just way too short not to! 

Bob The blue raspberry and grape are really good......vitamin shoppe online runs specials on them sometimes......just about the same price anywhere WENDY

Thanks!  Most folks say that getting in the protein is tough at first so I thought adding these to my Crystal Lite would help with that a lot.

Yo Bob, I've been using them straight had no problem but like Shelia reminded me you can only absorb about 30g of protein at any one time. All though if you drink slow enough you should get the full effect. I've been able to get everything in at the end of the day, but got to tell you its a job. So use to drinking 64oz in 5 min. now it seems like I'm drinking and drinking and it might be 10 oz's in a hour?? Big change, if Debbie wasn't keeping track I would probably come up short each day. Thanks Bob

Bob,         It is funny that you mentioned these, just tonight, I had friends over and these came up in the conversation, in which I made the statement, that I did not see all the problems that people had with these, because they are just a couple of sips in one serving (1/2) a bullet. We have all choked down NyQuil and we all know how bad that tastes, but we did it to make us feel better. Well the same concept is here, you may not like the taste, texture, or something about it, but just turn it up choke down a couple of sips and you will have 21 grams of protein in an instant.  Then you can chase it with the Crystal Light Fruit Punch without having to keep drinking it for a long period, do it quick and get it over!!!  However, I did not have a problem with the taste of these at all and, so they did not bother me, but I know if I had to drink a lot of it like the Isopure (aka Isopuke) for a long period, it would be a different story. These are just a couple of sips twice a day and you have over half of your protein in for the day!!! That is just my 2 cents worth!!!         I do believe they do have the best price at the Vitamin Shoppe and you can buy them by the case of 12 instead of indivdually, however I would suggest purchasing one of each and decide which flavor you like best then purchase the case to get the best one for your tastebuds, do remember that your tastes will change after surgery!!  I would like to mention, since they have a screw on top, you would do best by purchasing the 42 grams over the lower gram ones, because you can do half of one, refrigerate the rest for later, the the other half.  They are about 50 cents more per bullet, but in comparison to the amount of protein they are the best bang for your buck. I believe these come in grape, fruit punch, and orange.       Good Luck, you are going to do great!!!  You and "the other Bob" are going to be hard to keep up with once you become a LOSER too!!!!!

I bought one from the vitamin shoppe and tossed it,,didnt like it at all,,just but one or two to try and see if u like them

Thanks everybody! Guess it'll just be some trial and error  on what works best for me.

Thats exactly it BOB! Try it! my rule was if it had less than 5 grams of sugar/sugar alcohol etc... and it was not fried it was probably safe but do not forget those pesky little carbs STAY AWAY I still have not tried any fruit I am way to chicken however did find a ocean spray cran/grape that is diet and it is so yummy.
