I like the GNC Gold Standard Vanilla Ice Cream flavored. It's not too sweet, mixes well, and they have other flavors. The Lean shakes are good also. They come in powder form or four Pk bottles. That brand is a little pricey. Also, try to invest in some sugar free syrups, I.e., Torani, Davinci, etc.. Those are good to flavor your shakes or greek yogurts with. Have a lot of liquids around. Good Luck!

The next support group meeting at Synergy is Thursday Jan 30th.
