Lean Dessert protein shake in Banana nut

I purchased this at GNC for $27.59, minus the 20% gold card discount, for 18 0ne scoop servings at 130 calories each. Each serving has 3 grams of fat (2gms saturated), 52mgs cholesterol, 7 grams carbohydrates, 1grm fiber, 3grms sugar, 20 grms protein, 320mgs calcium, 200mgs phosphorus, 40mgs magnesium, 100mg sodium, and 125mg potassium. It also contains ELG stimulators and Protein Utilization Enzymes. HUH? Well this shake isn't as creamy as I like but it is a very low calorie shake so I can forgive that but the total lack of nut flavor on the other hand, um not so much. I debated about buying this flavor verses the Banana cream pie flavor. Now call me a fool but I am probably going to go and buy that flavor in a few weeks just to see if it tastes identical to this one. I bet it does, if not, I won't have wasted my money and won't feel so foolish. I know it is silly but I just have to see if I am right and to be fair, this shake isn't bad, so having two jugs of it won't be too bad. I can always pass them off to husband. It just doesn't live up to its flavor name. It is even pretty mild in the banana flavor department but at least you KNOW there is some banana flavor in it. It didn't have the best satiety but again it is only 130 calories when wixed with water. It recommends 4-5 oz water for females (8-10oz and two scoops for males). They also recommend you drink 2-4 servings a day! yeah maybe if you are early post op but even then you probably should be looking for something with more protein bang per oz.

Carb Conscious Supreme Protein bar

This bar is huge, 3.4oz (96 grams). It has 30 grams of protein and ....360 calories!Yes, I said, 360 calories! You more than likely won't be able to finish it all in one sitting. It has 16 grams of fat (5 grams are saturated), 34 grams of carbohydrates with a disclaimer.. yeah I know you are saying, "how the heck is 34 grams of carbohydrates low carb?". Well, 27 grams of it is sugar alcohols! Have I ever told you how sugar alcohols make me dump? The way they justify this bar as low carb is as follows; total carbs, 34, non-impact carbs 28, net impact carbs=6. It has 4 grams of regular sugar, 1 gram of fiber, and lots of various vitamins. I purchased these for husband as Jack Sprat as it sounds, I can eat no sugar Alcohol and he can eat no sugar. I did eat half of this bar as I was reviewing it. I paid for it however. It is very tasty. I'm not gonna lie. It tasted yummy. The cramps, etc. that resulted from that half of a bar however, were not so yummy. I purchased these at GNC for $41.00 ( minus the 20% gold card discount) for a big box of them, it averaged a little over $3.00 a bar even purchased this way. It has 50% of vitamin E, 35% of Vitamin A, 30% of Vitamin B6 & Folate, and 25% of Vitamin C & Vitamin B12, 20% of phosphorus & copper. If you don't dump on sugar Alcohols and you can divide this bar up so you aren't getting all 360 calories in one sitting, maybe this bar is for you. If you do dump on sugar alcohols, run don't walk away from this bar STAT!
