Protein Shots - 15g Protein, 60 Cal

[Orchids&Dragons 9,047]

I am not great with Protein, so of course, my doctor upped my minimum to 75g/day. UGH! I chronically get close to evening and still need 10-20 g more protein. So I ordered the Protein Shots from the BP store and tried my first one today - apple. Delish! It's tangy, not toooo sweet, kind of like a cross between an apple Jolly Rancher and pineapple sherbet. It's less than 3 oz., so even in the evening it's not hard to sneak in. I'm delighted. I'd like to get away from supplements, but for the time being, I take a lot of them. This is much better than having to drink a 16 oz. Protein Water right before bed.

I've seen those and was wondering how they are—thanks for the review! Post-op, my doc doesn't allow for Protein Shakes to count as Fluid intake, so these would be really helpful so that I can get in all my fluids and Protein.

Wow, that's the first time I've heard of that.

When I bought them, I thought that even if I didn't like the flavor, they'd be small enough to take like medicine, just to get the Protein. It was a happy surprise that I liked them!

I know, same! I think that it's to avoid dehydration, but it's going to be really hard to get 64 ounces of Water and 2 Protein Shakes. These will be perfect!

Glad I could help. I'm curious to see what the other flavors taste like. I bought the variety pack.

Neat! Never heard of single shots of Protein.

Let me know how the others are! I have a running list of things I need to buy for post-op

Update: I was really short on Protein yesterday so I had 2 of the shots yesterday evening.

Pink Lemonade - it was all right. Not nasty or anything, but not awesome, either.

Orange - do you like Creamsicles? YUM!

[anonbaribabe 236]

Creamsicles?!?! That sounds awesome! I can't wait to get these!

I promise I'm not being paid to promote them! Just when you find something that works, you've got to share!

Because, again, it is 6:30 pm and I've only had 46 g of Protein out of my 75g minimum. UGH!

Hahahahaha, I trust you! And oh man, good luck! I feel like these shots will be the only thing that save me after surgery, lol.

OK, tried the final flavor last night, the cran-grape. Tasted like a grape popsicle. Not bad, but grape isn't my favorite flavor in general. However, I can down .5 oz of anything if I get 15g of Protein out of it! Hope this helps others!

So you may have just saved my life. After surgery, my premier taste like rotten milk. I'll be ordering these today!!!
