Trader Joe's World Wide Protein

[Pangaeus 0]

Someone on the forum directed me to TJ's world wide Protein because it has alot of protein, is easily portable in the soda can it comes in and isn't too expensive. However, I don't find this Protein Drink filling at all. The cans come in either a 21 gram or a 35 gram of protein variety, so I should think all that protein should sorta fill me up, but it doesn't do much for me. Shouldn't Protein Drinks be filling since they have so much protein in them or am I off base?

I have tried many different Protein drinks/ mixes. I am usually hungry within 2 hrs. after drinking them. I stay fuller longer if I mix fruit in them. I usually mix frozen black cherries or blueberries (frozen or fresh) sometimes bananas. I prefer the powder so I can mix the fruit in. The reason it doesn't keep us full is because it is liquid and goes though the band easy. It doesn't sit in it to digest like solid foods. Thats why I put the fruit in it. There are a lot of things you can add that will help you. Good luck with the rest of your journey.:thumbup:

Ok, will try the fruit mixed in. I've been having cream of wheat in the am and night (I love love it and was so happy to be able to add it in after the clears!) which fills me up and then add in a Protein drink sometime during the day to make sure I am getting the protein. Don't really like them though.
