Protein Shots

[CapeCodder 15]

I have found a nifty source of protein! They're called Protein Shots by Probalance. Each of them have 28g of Protein in a 3oz fruity drink. Does it taste great - NO! But 3oz? that's like 4 swallows and you've got half a day of protein.

I checked with my nutritionist and she tells me it's fine as long as I'm getting protein from food, too. It's just a great boost to be able to get so much in one place without filling up my tiny stomach.

I got mine at CVS.

I know the idea of "tiny" or a few ounces or a "shot" sounds beneficial, especially from the Protein angle.......but.....when it comes to liquids, less is really not a benefit. Along with Protein, you also need to get in a significant amount of fluids daily. The norm is at least 8 glasses or 64 ounces. So while there is no real set in stone method....when it comes to liquids......more is better.....even when mixed with protein.

Added note: make sure to pay attention to the sugars and calories in those high Protein Shots.

No sugar, no calories. And I would much rather drink Water than those nasty-ass Protein shakes. I've had so many I never want to see them again. I haven't had any trouble with fluids at all, fortunately. I've always been a serious Water drinker. It was just those awful shakes. I've tried so many... and couldn't find one that didn't make me want to hurl!

PS - I LOVE your signature!!
