<p>Crystalized Protein. Suppose to taste like poprocks, pixiestix
when eating it without water. Add water and it makes a Black Cherry
Koolaid drink. I've haven't tried it yet but bought a box to sample for
when I'm out of the hospital. There is also a site through yahoo that will
allow you to buy samples.

they do make pills but you have to take a huge amount of them, and they
make wafers, the wafers have 10 grms of protein. i found them on ebay oddly
enough! put in 'protein' in their search, found all kinds of stuff!! those
crystals were gross to me, they get foamy when mixed with water. a serving
size is a huge amount to eat in a day! unless you snacked/grazed on them
all day and i read that is not wise to do becuase it keeps your insulin
levels up which makes loosing weight harder, good luck

EVery protein pill I've seen is like 3 pills = 1g. So, to get 60g, you'd
eat 180 pills. The protein itself, even without flavoring is still about
1/3-1/2 cup powder to get 30g protein. So, it's just hard to do
logistically.

hiya. i bought the "pixie sticks" protein but haven't tried it
yet.
i did find a really good protein drink: Zero Carb Isopure (it's NOT their
protein shake/powder) it is like a sports drink. 20 oz containers= 40g of
whey protein isolate, 160 calories, 0 fat, 0 sugar, 0 carbs. i dilute mine
into a bottle of water and drink it all day long. i found mine at
Supplement Direct and i've heard its at GNC.
i also add Jarrow's Iso Rich Soy Protein Powder to most of my cooking to
boost my protein intake. it's not a "shake" and it's not whey,
it's formulated so that you can bake with it, boil it, freeze it and it's
lose it's "integrity". 2 tbls=25g protein, 0 fat, 0 sugar, 0
carbs, 110 calories. i get mine online from: www.vitamintrader.com
i have recipes using it on my website: www.geocities.com/katebme2002
good luck!

I took BIOSHAPE for a while, there is also something called PROTIVITY. Each
pill is supposed to contain anywhere from 1-5 grams of protein. I took 2 a
day for 2 months and then got my protein checked. Besides that I had only
been eating about 50-55 grams protein a day. My labs were great and the
protein was well above normal. I've heard from many people, including the
website and distributors that it is also supposed to help the protein you
eat be more effective, since we cannot absorb everything. The bottle is
kind of expensive though. Here are two websites:
http://www.royal-health.com/bioshape.htm and
http://protivity.bizadream.com/
But I've recently heard about the protein crystals, and may give them a try
as well!

Proteinex now has a pill version. You take 6 pills (2 at breakfast, 2 at
lunchtime, 2 at dinnertime) for a total of 15g of protein. Just to warn you
thought, they are big pills. I cut them in half to take.
