Keep in mind that even though the name is "New Whey" it is mostly collagen Protein, not whey. If you are looking for true whey protein, you'll have to keep looking. There is a lot of debate over whether collagen protein can really be effectively absorbed and used.

collagen is a poor form of Protein that is not absorbed well by the body. Also there is some belief that it is not beneficial to consume more than 30 grams of protein at any one time. It can be taxing on the kidneys and not fully absorbed.

I agree with the other answers but before I actually researched Protein I bought some of these in Orange. I barely took a sip and it was the most horrid thing I'd ever tasted in my life. I gave them to a co-worker that uses protein powders as he's trying to aid in gaining muscle when he works out. Even he said he couldn't finish it it was so bad. You've been warned. :)

I eat their Protein bars. They are the best thing ever!

Everything I read says they're not a good option, but my program actually stated these were what I should drink during the first week to get Protein (clear liquids only). I stopped drinking them after the first week when I could add Protein Shakes.< /p>

When I'm on the clear liquid diet I'll be using this one:

I will probably mix it with coconut wate. I also plan on adding it to my bone broth and making homemade jello/gummies with it.

ETA: When I actually go shopping to find a low sugar juice (diluted with water) to use to flavor the jello/gummies, I think I'll also make some popcicles. Someone on FB mentioned cranberry juice but I haven't looked at the ingredients yet.

It was disgusting. I added some crystal light to dilute it but still couldn't drink it.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
