@wonderwomanNJ 4 oz and 1 scoop i would suggest you get a blender if you don't have one. I had a Protein shake where it said on the container was 5 oz of Water and one scoop it was a little thick so I added just a little bit of water I got a better Protein Shake where it says 8 oz of water and a scoop. In the morning I make 12 oz I know when I have surgery I won't be able to have it Also get creative with it Being I know I can't have an actual banana spit I made my own in a shake form. I had some strawberry and graham cracker protein shake I took a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa Half of a banana A teaspoon of vanilla It was so good When I have chocolate Protein Powder I had a "Reese's Peanut Butter cup" with peanut butter powder OMG awesome Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
