Protein Worth Considering (Shots And Shakes)

I couple supplements I found, worth noting!

I've heard and read a lot of negativity regarding RTD Protein shots. A lot of them contain either hydrolyzed collagen or a combo of collagen/casein/whey. Seems a lot of folks are on the fence with this, some say its ok and some say junk. But...

Good news! There is a totally 100% pure whey isolate shot out there called "YES WHEY". No casein, no collagen. All whey isolate. And it has PDCASS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) of 100, which is as good as it gets. Conclusion? High concentration of good protein per volume. Get your protein on without trying to down big shakes all day.

Also, a high quality shake mix that is clean, pure isolate, with no added junk or artificial sweeteners: "About Time" RDT shake bottles - add your own liquid, shake, and go.

Both above can be ordered from Lucky Vitamin. I have an order coming today and can't wait to try both, they seem like good products for both pre- and post-op phases.

Anyone out there have any experience with these products?

I got the products and here is my opinion.

About Time: AWESOME. I tried the banana flavor. I ordered vanilla, banana, and strawberry. I used 2% milk, that's all I had on hand (wanted to try milk instead of Water first). It tasted (to me) just like the Nestle Quik banana flavor mix... really good! And stayed quite liquid, did not get thick like most other shakes which is good for someone who can't tolerate that thick texture.

Yes Whey: HORRIBLE. Omg, I can tolerate lots of harsh flavors and textures, but this stuff is baaaad!! It was not what I expected at all. First off the stuff was very settled in the tubes. It says to shake well, I did, and had to shake for like 5 minutes to get it all mixed again. It looked thick and pasty - I opened the tube and not all of it mixed and there were thick pasty chunks in it. It was a thick milky mix. I stuck a butterknife in and stirred it up then tasted (grape flavor). It was a super sweet tangy fruity thick substance... a milky thick gel-like liquid. I gagged down a few gulps because I didn't want to waste it. It was really harsh on the pallate!! Yuck, these are going back. I was thinking this would be more along the lines of a concentrated Syntrax nectar type product. Gross.
